1975 Mk2 Ford Escort Clubman Stage Rally Car Manufacturer: FORD Model: Escort Mk2 Capacity (cc): 2000 Name & Address: Natasha Brett Dorset Postcode: BH17 7UP Telephone: 07710 411486 Email: natasha.brett@btinternet.com Region: South Date Listed: 10 Apr 2008 I am reluctantly offering my Mk2 Escort for sale. It was purchased as an unfinished project in 2007 with the intention of selling my MG ZR and completing the works and getting into the forest. Unfortunately the MG remains unsold despite being on all the major selling websites. I therefore have had to make the hard choice, unless a miracle occurs, of selling the Mk2 and sticking with the MG. The car is a clubman spec MK2 escort with a good tidy shell, a few cosmetic blemishes, but no major rot or rust. It started life as a 1300 and was built for / by Justin Dale in the late 1980's as his starter car in the sport. It is believed not to have done any work for several years and has been dry stored whilst extensive works, mainly mechanical and ancillary had taken place. It is fitted with a new 2ltr Pinto (Burton) engine which is still to be fully run in. There are a set of twin webber carbs to fit once the engine is ready and these are being sold with the car. The transmission comprises a 4 speed quaiffe box and atlas axle with LSD and 4:6 crown wheel and pinion. There are disc brakes all round. The car has a new alloy tank, bias valve etc. The car, not having been used for some time, does not have a current MOT, but this is not thought to be an issue given its condition. Additionally it is on a SORN. To get the car on stage, we believe that the following basic work is required: Supply and fit new door bars Fit and plumb the brand new extinguisher system which is supplied within the auction price. Fit in place brand new Titon 4pt Harnesses, which will, if the price is right, be supplied within the package. (We will offer a choice of colour and the option to upgrade to 5pt or 6pt at additional cost). MOT and Tax, update MSA logbook and go... The car is being advertised for sale. The car is currently located near Chertsey at a preparation company who, if required, are happy to quote on finishing works.
