ive had 4 or 5 Mk1 and Mk2 escorts, one of the Mk2's i had was fitted with the Ford 1.8 BDA motor and the acceleration was fantastic
That would be worth a fortune today
when i bought the car it was in a bit of a state body wise but mechanically it was bang on, i didn't keep it all that long as money was tight as i was doing my apprenticeship at the time so sold it on for a grand about 6 months later i was trawling through the autotrader and there was a 1.8BDA engine and gearbox for sale for 5k i nearly died.
Ah well
That clip is great but paddle shift in a mk2 is wrong
Agreed, however his car was faster than the wrc spec cars on the day.

Rally will never be the same without the legend that is Mcrae!!! awesome videos, can't get enough of the MK2
big mac
Mcrae was always at 110% along with richard burns 2 of the greatest drivers in the world and the most exciting to watch unfortunately both taken before their time
