MK1 Ford Escort.

Do you still have the kitcar? We're looking to start a Locost (Lotus 7 copy) build in the near future, probably using an MX5 for parts as they're now so cheap and common.

Have a look for an old Dutton Rickman or Jago lots around that had decent xflow or pinto engines fitted with decent carbs etc

I have a friend who has 25+ Escorts, mostly MK2 RS2000, but with 3 or 4 RS1800, including a Works RS1800 from day 1 of production. The collection has a few MK1s too.

That is just plain greedy lol! No wonder the rest of us can't get one at a reasonable price!
