R reg escos in Newbury

[ash_b]

Spotted an R reg escos in Newbury.

were they made on R reg? or a replica?

it looked spot on. had a WRC rear wing.

boot was badged up as a BT with escort and cosworth under each other.

saw you in fish & chip shop and drove past you near town. I was in a mk2 fiesta xr2 silver.

Could have been held back at dealer and registered late

But probably not a BT though or perhaps owner prefers the BT badge layout

there are a few R plate Escos's out there, so its highly possible.

i would have expected one on that plate to have been an ST, but with Ford anything is possible

Junction 28 had an r reg one a few years ago,not log booked as an rs ,and built from a motorsport shell,could have been same car

more than likely a home built special

exhaust was out the bumper correct. unlike alot of reps.

looked like the real deal (without getting up close)

and driver must have been ages 30-40 ish.

not some chav in a 1.6 escort o.O

gonna hunt him down and pull him over its annoyed me now lol..

It was a home build with some very special parts but you have to remember that back then you could still get everything over the counter to build one.
