  • Who's so stupid to buy an Escort Cosworth??

    Well I am

    After I've sold my Wolf Escort Cosworth last year, I was pretty sure that it was the last one I've ever owned.... For 2011 that was true but yesterday I bought an other Escort Cosworth.

    Last year I also sold my Focus ST225 for some cash (as I'm building a workshop next to my house), and bought a (almost) MINT condition Saff 4x4 (with only 60k miles) as the replacement for using during the weekends (yeh I know my Rs500 and MK1 RS are always parked inside ).

    But I couldn't resist looking for Escort's, so I found this one.

    It's an average condition imperial blue T25 from 1994, had a full respray sometime. Lux version with heated seats (Karmann), elektric sunroof, mirrors etc.

    It has done 90k miles from the outside almost original. Engine had a full rebuild, new gearbox (not rebuild but new old stock!),chip (280bhp??) stainless exhaust (mongoose with only a rearbox and race cat), full roose silicone hose kit, Airtec radiator + RS500 intercooler, quickshift, Spax suspension, poly bushes, oldstyle Nomad rearlights, bailey headertank, some carbon stuff etc.

    My target is to make the car as original as possible apart from the engine mod's.

    So who has a nice T25 Airbox??? And I need some grill's for the front (this looks horrible)

    Luckily I never sold my brandnew Turbo heatshield

    BTW. With the vibra engine and gearmounts, the ride is horrible. The noise above 60mph

    Right, some pic's

          In some country's in Europe Recaro seats where an option on the Lux version. And if you wanted heated seats you have to take the Karmann seats.

          My previous Wolf had heated Recaro's but this was not original from the Factory.
