shaun4860 Posted Thursday at 23:41 Report Share Posted Thursday at 23:41 Ford have done this because of the success that a company called MST are producing mk1 & Mk2 escorts and selling well in different guises. https://mst-cars.com/#mk2-evo-x All new registered as well but cheaper than ford. They also have plans for the RS200 and 6R4 Metro as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted Friday at 07:37 Report Share Posted Friday at 07:37 Yes Ford must feel they've missed out and are trying to play catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted Friday at 07:53 Report Share Posted Friday at 07:53 I used to get a lift to work back in the late 70’s in a Mk1 Mexico. Great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TIGHTCHOKE Posted Friday at 08:23 Report Share Posted Friday at 08:23 Yes, a Mate had a bright yellow one in the early 1980's and had it refurbished and we would take it out in the good old days and he could drive the damned thing very well.

welsh1 Posted Friday at 09:28 Report Share Posted Friday at 09:28 Never managed to own a mexico, but i had a mk1 that was tweaked a bit, unfortunatly some black ice on a bridge one night and it was like a scene from dancing on ice as me and 5 other cars spun round and round, i hit the barrier backward and the car was totalled.

I’d have one if I was one of those people though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Best Posted 8 hours ago Report Share Posted 8 hours ago The bog standard 1100 which most people had was a complete piece of **** from day one. And the 1300 cc job wasn’t much better. I drove a few of each and none of them were any good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
