Status: offline 		Amongst mk1 and mk2 there are several versions,we have the original Escort mk1:
#1


Escort mk1 with widened arches:
#2


Escort mk2 with original arches(RS1800 version):
#3


Escort mk2 X-pack version:
#4


Escort mk2 RS2000 with droop snot-front:
#5


Escort mk2 RS1800 widened arches:
#6


If you want to make the Escort RS Cosworth WRC i wouldnt get mad either
#7


Maybe we can use these numbers on the pics to vote with,colours,well,i dont know.I prefer white on the mk1 and mk2,but blue is also a favourite

Do you really mean that you can produce these bodies if you get the license?Hope you make it a bit more realistic and detailed than the Mustang body The wheelbase of the original Escort is 2390 mm,that means that the wheelbase on the 1/5-bodies should be around 480 mm,but that is not gonna be an easy task since the onroad chassies are 535 mm wheelbase.

Those are hot cars in Europe?
Seriously though, those are desirable there? They look like economy cars.


LOL! 30 years ago, these were the best cars on the road. When you guys were making tanks with 9 litre engines that literally couldn't go round corners, these cars were dominating european rally tracks with 2l engines and 400hp.

It's about history.

Status: offline 		Actually I owe Cal-torque an apology. It's an unfortunate twist of fate that Canada ended up bordering what became the USA, and therefore have mostly American cars.

And also, don't get me wrong, some of the worlds great classics came from the US, hell, the car was invented there. Somewhere along the way they lost the ball on motorsport and driving pleasure though, while a few select US marques continued to produce cars that would become classics (AC, Chevrolet (Corvettes), Dodge (with the Viper) Ford (with the Mustangs, which are a bit 'tanky' too, but beautiful and fast) and recently Saleen). Truth is, in the modern age, Japan has left us all standing looking at our history and saying what great cars we USED to make, while they just got on with it and did it better than all of us.

With a bit of luck, I'll be taking delivery of a Honda S2000 in late November, after my previous 5 cars were all VWs.

This is really interesting actually.
In North America, we wouldn't give those cars a second look.
Escort was the college student or grandma car. No offense.
My generation was muscle cars...GTO, Mustang, Camaro, etc.
I have a 71 Swinger in my garage with a 440 shoehorned in.
For newer muscle, I'm looking at a 2005 SSR.
The rally cars are pretty cool though. As Foxy says, it really depends on your geographic location as to what is ingrained in your brain as "classic".

Interesting way of putting it! Russia would have already blown us to bits if it wasn't for the US. As you probably know, we do have British heritage as well. It's really a melting pot...quite progressive in accepting different cultures.
A lot of vehicles are manufactured in Canada, but of course, they're US, European, or Asia owners... Calgary itself is fairly wealthy due to oil, and there are quite a few right drive imports. I don't recall ever seeing a Euro Escort though (the car )

They promote them as European "engineered".
Seriously, great car so far.

As far as the rally races, they are very entertaining. However, the crowd is insane. Usually, I just see clips of them getting mowed down as they stand alongside the track. It's like a bull run with cars.
