Hi guys on here,

always been interested in the old Fords especially the Twin Cam versions. went to your National day last year and saw some very nice cars indeed.

Best mates have MK1 and Mk2 Lotus Cortinas

I currently own a Escort MK2 RS1800,

cheers Dave

Hi Dave , Welcome aboard.

Are you planning to add a cortina to your fleet , or are you having enough fun with the RS1800?

I'd love to see some picks or your RS - they ceratinly are few and far between. :shock:

Thanks Steve, I would love a early MK1 Lotus Cortina, thankfully im blessed, as i can see both marques when ever

Hope you dont mind me posting pictures of an Escort on here

some original shots when nearly new 1977, notice colour and no stripes

picture from last year after 15 year restoration

I believe this may be the same as a Lotus Cortina, correct me if im wrong, standard fitment also on a RS1800

Hi, Nice car i love it.

Very nice car Dave. I had a look at one over here a while ago but unfortunately it was snapped up before i got the chance to get it.

I don't believe that the LCs were ever factory fitted with an oil cooler.

Lovely car Dave, Well done on the restoration.
cheers

do you know how many are left in red ?

hi Martin. they made two red ones, one carnival and one venetian.
The carnival red one which was a press car was scrapped due to accident in its first year. The venetian one as you see is mine

cheers dave

Looks like some of the pic's have been removed from Daves photobucket account.

Dave does frequent the excellent RS Escort site , so you may find some more pic's there:
