A. Mk1 Escort Owner: Chris Spooner Featured: January 2021 With his dad an ex-Boreham engineer, Chris had no choice but to build this works RS1600 recreation. Perfect in every way.
B. Mk1 Capri Owner: Dean Goodman Featured: October 2021 Not ‘just’ a Mk1 Capri, but a genuine Superspeed conversion at that. Dean tracked this car for years and was finally able to give it the rebuild it deserves.
C. Mk1 Transit Owner: Nigel Preston Featured: August 2021 Largely completed by the late previous owner. Nigel’s dropside is a treat for the eyes and perfect for his milk-round, too.
D. Mk2 Escort Builder: Escort Tec Featured: September 2021 EscortTec’s Darran and Mark don’t build many cars, but when they do, you know they’re going to be special. A YB-powered Mk2 that seriously impresses.
As head of Fiesta specialists, Outlaw Motorsport,Steve had to be something special and this doesn’t disappoint. Superb.
F. Mk1 Sierra Owner: Tom Jackson Featured: August 2021 The patina’d exterior hides on-point running gear, with a hot-spec ST170 motor, and proper suspension and brakes. Family wagon and street racer in one.
G. Mk1 Cortina Owner: Tim Harrison Featured: August 2021 Using parts from a written-off Tesla,Tim’s created a groundbreaking electric Cortina — and a true bolt-in conversion.
H. Mk3 Escort Owner: Mark Taylor Featured: October 2021 Originally started by his late brother, Mark did the right thing and finished this early XR3’s rebuild as a tribute — RS2000 engine, RS1600i interior and all.
I. Anglia 105E Owner: Mick Dobson Featured: November 2020 Lockdown gave Mick and brother Steve the opportunity to build the Anglia they always wanted.
