1978 Ford Mk2 Escort Mexico Cosworth Turbo
For Sale on eBay1978 Ford Mk2 Escort Mexico Cosworth Turbo
For sale is my beloved Ford Escort MK2, a genuine Mexico car with a GCAT VIN number, registered in 1978. I have owned it for nearly 10 years and have invested a lot of time and effort into upgrades to make it a real head-turner. However, it’s time to let it go to a new home as I have been spending more time admiring it than actually driving it and space is becoming an issue.
Here are some details of the car:
Fully GP4 alloy tarmac arched car with seams smoothed and painted inside and out in Ford Olympic Blue
Full Safety Devices roll cage with door bars and all mounting points are plated and strengthened
Full set of genuine Ford glass all round

Panhard rod and mount, anti-trap bars, and lowering blocks
Group four genuine minilite wheels
Ap open back calipers and discs and bells on the front and Cosworth rear disc brakes
Quick ratio steering rake with Corsa B electric-powered, floor-mounted pedal box
1998cc YB Cosworth turbo engine, T3 hybrid turbo fresh rebuilt
Rare 200 block version, 4×4 cylinder head with Cometic gasket, Webber ECU, custom wiring loom for a MK2 Escort
Running low boost around 15psi, T5 Borg Warner gearbox with short shift, paddle clutch custom made for application, hydraulic clutch system, full airtech radiator and intercooler
The car is in excellent condition for a 45-year-old vehicle, and it is Tax and MOT exempt. To be picky, the lower parts of the inner wings need a small amount of paint, which is just cosmetic to make it perfect. The speedo cable is currently broken, but the engine runs lovely and drives fine. However, it is set up for me and can be mapped to see how brave you are. The car is a definite head-turner and a joy to drive, and I’m sure it will be a beloved addition to its new owner’s collection.
