New code 3 escort project

Morning people

Thinking of doing a new limited run code 3 escort

Any ideas?

Need 1 that would sell well

Frank Kelly. Not the Bathshack one thats just been done but the more plainer livery before that one. Popular driver plus the Irish ones always seem to sell well. 65 were made in the Bathshack livery and i think it's sold out.

Gary mcphillips,not the current one,from 2 years ago is a nicer livery,

.

Patterson


Bradley



.

Do all four,sellout lol.

Good call Colin. Bradley car      

Very tempted with Patterson car

But......

Does anyone have PIC of Kelly and mcphilips cars

Also who drove the black mk2 was it Manu's Kelly?

Just a few i would have in mind!!  
No shortage of escorts to be done and this is just monaghan/cavan men....

Some nice escorts there

How do I go about getting the bonnet vent done?

As a lot of the newer Mark 2's seem to have them on now

I think Mark may have some as he used them on Waring car.

Well Steven,
there is 7 good sellers there........I think........I would 1 of any one of them.....

Some nice cars there

Now looking at where to get wheels bonnet vent and roof vents from

That's the hardest part

My vote Steve would be for the Camillus Bradley Mk2, preferably the car that won the Sperrins event a couple of years ago.

Scott

would anyone have a close up pic of the 5 spokes

As Im going to look into getting some done in resin maybe

These I take it are very popular on Irish mk2's

.

Getting them 5spoke wheels done would be a good idea, Trofue use an Audi 5spoke as it's the closest they have to the Rev wheel,
Also I've been asked on FB over the last 2days by 3 people if I had any McPhillips MKll's for sale so that may be a good one to start with,

.

best 5 spokes are the ones from the Metros i used on the McGardy Escort better than those Audi things
I asked Trofeu about making a pure Group 4 Revolution 5 spoke and i was prepared to pay total costs but now have lost interest

Well Well any progress or any decisions ????????????????????????

Nope tbh just trying to get stuff sold at no to funds together

But will keep you posted

There are a few remaining as I have seen Rosemary with some for sale at West Cork Rally

New Camillus Bradley livery looks amazing

Saw pic on FB but can't find it now

Just looking again at this list

Johnathan Pringle escort would be great to do but so far no permission from him

Also contacted via facebook Gary Kiernan and again no reply

This list of cars look like the list that Motorsport Ireland want to or have proposed that the 2500lt cars be banned from competition................these may be all collectors items....................meeting tomorrow night in Monaghan between Clubs, competitiors and Rallys Committee of Motorsport Ireland......Hurry up Steve

That would be crazy to ban them

Safety record of them is good so no real reason to ban them

Just waiting to hear back from drivers now for permission to build their car

Its been rumoured for years that banning 2.5 Escorts in Ireland was coming as it was said they are too fast and can be as quick as a WRC. So what does that acheive when escort lads might just go out and buy WRC cars and still be quick.
