sweet as you like that one

not my colour though

I driven one angry, does that count??
Seriously though, each to their own, but the looks don't do anything for me.
I still find myself looking out of the window at the quattro, and the grale, and if I never drove them again, I 'd be happy just gazing

as much as i love the five pot i would still have a mexico/rs 200/twin cam any day

but you do have to enjoy drifting for ultimate pleasure

Gorgeous example there.

Loved all the Signal colour range.

Really emphasised the era these were made in.

rich,

being the pedant again, the Mexico, RS2000, RS1600 and T/C were all Mk1's, the Mexico and RS2000 were re-incarnated in Mk2 form, and none actualy drive that well; as for drifting; in a Mexico or RS2000, in standard form? You'd have to be trying very hard, and the RS1600 & T/C are too expensive and or fragile to try it with.

Rose tinted specs are wonderful, but any modern hatch (not even hot) would kill one dynamically ( having owned a mint Mexico and RS2000 'back in the day', and SteveT63 and I turning down a brown RS1600).

Oh and have a look at the one coming up for sale at Anglia Car Auctions imminently;

perfect in Terracotta ( a sort of salmony-redy colour; just like the one I had)

[Willbo]

Yeh it looks really nice in that colour Signal Green. I'm sure its a 77 car.
I'll try to get more details.
There will be a full feature in Performance Ford very soon

both my mex mk1 amd 2 used to drift quite nicley on the loose stuff thankyou

maybe i was just trying very hard

but then again i never owned minters dont see the point its a car so drive it i dont own things just to look at or have trailer queens it kind of defeats the object somewhat

no rose tinted specs here i loved the mex especially the mk 1 and would have one again if i could afford it

still each to his own

Apart from being an 'R' reg, some clues are;

Ford badge spelled out on letters rather than an oval badge with Ford thereon
early model side stripes

the car appears to be a non-custom;- non-remote controlled drivers door mirror, Scheel seats, non custom steering wheel, no radio/cassette player or roof aerial, non-tinted glass (could have but difficult to tell from the images) etc, although I would guess someone has added,
x-pack alloys (non-custom would have steels), dashboard clock, rear panel between lights painted black (body colour on non-custom) etc

But bloody nice, no matter what!

[Willbo]

I'll get the full sp tomorrow

[styler]

X pack alloys were 7.5 inch.... theyre 7 inch...

car looks amazing.. zetec on TBs should run very nicely... bit of modern power in a classic body .... my kinda style...
