Looks very nice indeed

what is the spec of the car?

[Karlheinz]

[Karlheinz]

Well:
- I am the second owner;
- The car has 73'600 kms (about 45'715 miles);
- Wheels, brakes and suspension are original;
- Few week ago my mechanic: mounted complete stainless steel exhaust system, changed some particulars on my turbine (now works on ball bearings), mounted a new fuel pump (now i have a Bosch 044) and chipped the original ECU...
I forgot to say that my Cossie is a small turbo version.

[Ben Purnell]

sounds very nice indeed, is it an original motorsport variant with the monte wheels and seats? There is a thread on here trying to get all 200 of the Monte versions

Just a random question, are you ok with the way the forum reads newest post at the top?

I have made you an owner on the site, so follow the forum link and have a look around and just ask if you need anything

[Karlheinz]

No, my Cossie isn't a Motorsport with Monte wheels and seats.
In Italy the last Escort Cosworth that you could buy,
made with the few Martini/Monte shell (petrol blue, ash black or jewel violet) that Ford had in factory.
So, I have an Escort Cosworth Martini version (Monte in other european country) no numbered, with air co, double air bags,
thermic windshield, electric rear mirrors, etc.

Hi guys,

You will only find the development of the Big Turbo, as the Small Turbo wasn't developed as such, as all it was was Ford raiding their parts bins to bring the cost of the car down after they had built enough cars to pass the homologation rules of the time. Therefore the car no longer needed such a big turbo, such sophisticated engine management or such an efficient intercooler.
