The car was originally built by Andrew Brown Motorsport in Daventry. I was the co-driver to both Rod Menzies and Alan Peacock. We had a number of top 10 BTRDA results and several 2nd place finishes on our local Sort Out Stages rally. It never went to Belgium and was indeed let go by Peacocks of Balham to M-Sport. The registration PRC was Rod's company PRC Colour Processing. I have good memories of co-driving in that car. I probably have some in build photos hidden in a draw somewhere.
Marks a natural in front of the camera I loved hearing the stories about the car. Stunning cossie and fair play for using it and driving it through the water...lol legend! 10:28 hahaha nice Escort mag
Marks got a few cars that have been parked in that bit of water. He's got a mk1 astra gte that's all over the Internet and another standard escort as well
Hi Adam, mate, this is right up there, what a brilliant, brilliant car, and the guy is fantastic to listen to. He knows that car, history everything. And.... it's not a garage queen but used and enjoyed. Excellent video. Cheers, Alex.
At the time it was a 34mm restriction for Group A and 36mm for Group B - My father was a scrutineer in them days and used to fit the seals - he found one on a GT4 Celica once that worked like a camera aperture ! That car brings me back - Best livery was James Cullen in the Yorkie sponsored Cossie Escort !! Great video - Great Memories!
Stunning build, legend of a car, crazy good history. Perfect owner for it... still uses it hard and appreciates everything about it. Our Scottish private farm tracks kick arse eh?
When Colin Allister and Jimmy McCrea used to be based in Lanark you used to see them blasting up and down the private Ravenstruther to Lanark road in rally prepped Escorts,Sierra’s all the time , seeing that just brought back the memories for me
I was luckie enough to be a passenger in a group A escort many years ago probably 15 years ago at a trackday and i had a smile on my face like you 👌 I just remember the rawness off it all , don’t build em like that anymore , great video 🙏
Brill car,great to hear it's history.Mark,the owner come's across as a genuine passionate bloke,his knowledge and love for the car,and the fact that he own's a rally legend that he followed in the forests as a young man.I'm looking forward to seeing this car now at the NEC.Great video Adam!!!!!!!
Such a cool car! That's a great vid and nice interview. I must admit, as a Dutchman, this Scottish accent tested my understanding of the English language! 😆
Brilliant Adam just brilliant, took me back to when I used to watch rallying as a kid fantastic, thanks Adam what an absolute treat, would love to be sat where you were mate , very few people get to experience what you did fair play your face said it all you lucky chap 👍
Adam wow just wow mate, now we are talking u just can't beat the old really cars mate. Keep up with the good work bro Rob the Welsh boy 👍🤙🏴🏴
Smiling all the way through this. Mark is a lucky guy I’m from Scotland and I’m assuming he is in Scotland aswell. I’d love a passenger ride In the car 😃
Fantastic, my good mate Roy had a white motorsport escort cosworth that ran those wheels that you have as your spare wheel in white too, gutted as most of us have been priced out of the Cosworth market now that sold at the wrong point. My other friend had a mallard green gartrac mk4 escort rwd and essentially a rs turbo to the eye that ran 380bhp YB, all of our little group of friends had cosworths and so on, great memories and fun on the roads, fixing them, tuning them and so on. Love these old Ford uploads, owner seems a really nice guy too.
Amazing history... is Mark just the biggest car geek? Yes he is. Talk about passion for cars and a canny driver 👍👌 Marks Farm is MASSIVE with them back roads 😂😉
Myself being born in 83' in 🇺🇸 into a FORD family. I had a Cosworth Repsol Rally RC Car and was hooked. Always dreamed of having one, if I won the lotto it would be my 1st purchase. But sadly these days I'd be happy with just seeing and hearing one in person. Still waiting in the 🇺🇸 for that day to come 😪 🤞🤞🏁
Wow !!! Amazing car what a top fella for allowing you to share this with us all ...me and my son follow you and this has by far been the best video shared
What a car, fantastic! Owner Mark deserves a job at Ford HQ Sports Division, a true fountain of knowledge for automotive, drivers and sporting history. Thank you gentlemen!
What an excellent car, Brings a tear to my eye to think that in a few years you will never get the noise of a straight cut gearbox, anti lag turbos and exhaust notes....all going to be replaced by electric motors....sad times ahead.
Its great owning one these. Mines a 124TH scale styrene model i built though, 👍🤣😀nice cossie as always guys👌 Keith from Ireland.. BIG SMILE ON ADAMS FACE EVEN WHEN CAUGHT AIR

My childhood dream car. I remember watching these at the RAC rally tearing through Chatsworth and Clumber Park. Fantastic video this one.
Now that's a proper car, and he has some good PRIVATE farm tracks 🤣🤣
You took the exact words I was going to post out of my mouth.
I’d give up drinking smoking sex and drugs for the rest of my life to own that car. Absolutely fecking awesome!!!!!!!

Nothing better than listening to someone who is truly passionate about something. You can hear it in his voice how much he loves that car.
Where is this Ford located at 0:03 please?
He’s owns quite a few houses on his private farm tracks. 😂😂
Was going to say exact same thing,plus he must own most of the countryside round there,think we all no defo not private there public rds lol 😆😜
@@GrahamStorr Obviously 🤦🏼😂
Massive farm
He put road signs up as well.

That’s some farm eh😂
Adam's face on the farm tracks, a picture, never seen you happier mate.
Adam Your face over jump --- Priceless.
Stunning build, legend of a car, crazy good history. Perfect owner for it... still uses it hard and appreciates everything about it. Our Scottish private farm tracks kick arse eh?
Adams face in the passenger seat 😬😂
I used to have a Scalextric when I was a kid and the two cars were this and the Pilot Escort cossie. So cool.
When Colin Allister and Jimmy McCrea used to be based in Lanark you used to see them blasting up and down the private Ravenstruther to Lanark road in rally prepped Escorts,Sierra’s all the time , seeing that just brought back the memories for me
McRae just saying 😂
One badass collector's item. Nice guy Mark. That look of joy in your face,Adam!
This guy's awesome and to actually use the car properly make it's even better 😀
I was luckie enough to be a passenger in a group A escort many years ago probably 15 years ago at a trackday and i had a smile on my face like you 👌 I just remember the rawness off it all , don’t build em like that anymore , great video 🙏
The fact it's a legitimate ex race car makes it all the more special
This is phenomenal, So glad it is being driven.
Best livery on a Escos. I had a Kyosho replica of this car as a kid. Love it !!
Got a Tamiya 1 NIB
Brill car,great to hear it's history.Mark,the owner come's across as a genuine passionate bloke,his knowledge and love for the car,and the fact that he own's a rally legend that he followed in the forests as a young man.I'm looking forward to seeing this car now at the NEC.Great video Adam!!!!!!!
That was brilliant - like watching a tarmac stage back in the day.
It sounds absolutely superb a real credit to the owner.
Marks face says it all, superb motor..
Such a cool car! That's a great vid and nice interview. I must admit, as a Dutchman, this Scottish accent tested my understanding of the English language! 😆
Been waiting for a rally cossie to see on your channel, and he gave it some on some "farm tracks" Quality vid man
i could listen to him talk about that motor all week, what an amazing bloke and amazing car
loved the mag under spare wheel, cracking video pal
One of your best videos yet,fair play to mark of using the car and not just a trailer queen 👌👌👌
Brilliant Adam just brilliant, took me back to when I used to watch rallying as a kid fantastic, thanks Adam what an absolute treat, would love to be sat where you were mate , very few people get to experience what you did fair play your face said it all you lucky chap 👍

Really enjoyed this review 👌 great seeing Mark going for it in the lanes. Beautiful car
Absolutely gorgeous, love it. I also like the pursed lips of concentration while he was diving down the lanes compared to your big grin.
Class video so good to see the car getting used the way she should be Mark keeping the flame lit 🔥
ruclips.net/video/mP5b_2TvEXM/видео.html
Good swap in my opinion I prefer the rally spec too although the road goer was a diamond as well
Adam the smile on your face says it all in one shot. This must be a cracking car to drive....
Smiling all the way through this. Mark is a lucky guy I’m from Scotland and I’m assuming he is in Scotland aswell. I’d love a passenger ride In the car 😃
Awesome car and nice to see it being driven hard like it was born to do and not just parked up in a garage .
Fantastic, my good mate Roy had a white motorsport escort cosworth that ran those wheels that you have as your spare wheel in white too, gutted as most of us have been priced out of the Cosworth market now that sold at the wrong point.
My other friend had a mallard green gartrac mk4 escort rwd and essentially a rs turbo to the eye that ran 380bhp YB, all of our little group of friends had cosworths and so on, great memories and fun on the roads, fixing them, tuning them and so on.
Love these old Ford uploads, owner seems a really nice guy too.
