Mk1 Escort Special Saloon
I owned it in the mid 1980's. Bought it from a guy in Holmes Chapel. Was a sprint / hillclimb car fitted with from memory a 1600BDA - full race all steel bottom end and standard head. Colour was as is now except it had matching front end. Seems to have had a bit of a hard life since then. Front suspension was more conventional - all the chopping away and wishbones are more recent. Sold it as a rolling chassis and surprised to see it turn up on ebay 3 or 4 miles from my place - tried to contact vendor but couldn't get a response as wanted to view before putting in a bid so well done and enjoy the rebuild! Am surprised to hear its possibly the John Robinson car as it seemed pretty basic at the time. Must have some photos of it somewhere,
Regards,
Ez
