Broadspeed Escort photos
Hi,
Has anyone got any detailed shots of the Broadspeed Escorts? I've found this one of the engine bay: http://www.neilfletcherracing.co.uk/...1300gt_car.jpg Any pictures of the interior and boot would be very useful. Thanks, John |

I nearly bought that car once, A mate who was a car trader took it in part ex and knew i was into racing (HotRods at the time so totally unsuitable) and offered it to me, I think it was around the grand mark!

The ones that got away! Do any of these cars survive in anything like their original form?

Thanks. What's the story behind the car? Has it managed to hang on to any of its original bits? Most seem to have been upgraded as they became uncompetitive.

I do EVX 256 H started life as a 1300 gt then for the motorshow 200 meeting at crystal palace converted to a TC with Lucas slide injection. I've had the car for 20+ years now was John Edwards thunder saloon with a JE motors 3.9 v8.
Now has a brand new Broadspeed TC with original Lucas injection original gearbox (ZF) and original axle. I managed to source the original brakes of the car, it is all together but needs striping painting & putting back together. Apparently it is the only Broadspeed escort that won outwright! |

The car is white at the moment the colour I used to race it in ,as I said it needs stripping & painting in original collours ( regal red & silver fox ) then putting back together. I suppose one day I will get round to it ! Out of sight out of mind I'm afraid , at least it's not loosing me money.
