I absolutely love that there's some guy in a random forest in Finland going completely sideways in one of the most valuable models of the car made. You won't get that with any other car I don't think.
That's a sound I remember from mmany years ago. We would walk for hours into the forests to stand and listen for the cars coming, and catch 15 seconds of a Mk1 Escort on full throttle screaming past. What a memory this video brings back.
Holy Shit!! I grew up in the Isle of Man and sat in the hills as a boy at 2/3 am at the international trophy rally with my dad and a flask of soup and can still here the BDA's coming up the valley miles away and being the happiest boy alive " thing is, it still has the same effect over 30 yrs later " thanks guys x
I worked for a Finnish company long time ago, spent some time in Pori and really enjoyed the place, great people, fantastic country and some of the best rally drivers on the planet. And the RS 1600, not much I can add that hasn't been said before, that BDA just sounds soooooo good. Great driving too!
There's only two things in the world that makes my spine tingle, the hairs on my arm go crazy and make my heart skip a beat. One of them is the sound of twin cam escort.
Neil Diamond wrote a song about the escort BDA ... 'What a Beautiful Noise, coming up from the street, Gotta beautiful sound , gotta beautiful beat, it's a beautiful noise going on everywhere...'."
Hi there, I too have memories of Bengt, he drove my Lotus Cortina (NVW239C he won the RAC Rally in in 1966) that I had rebuilt back in 1986 when I co drove for him on the Historic Swedish Rally. All the best, Peter Whitaker U.K.
Did this car break a bottom arm in Garton East York’s and reverse 8 miles to Richardson Ford dealers in Driffield .?I worked there watched it being repaired .
Just listened to that at full volume through my Bose sound system and just had a mk1 going flat out through the house . Wife and neighbours are not impressed, but who cares.
I was lucky to of owned one back in 1972 ,it was the mk1 in white had it from Ford garage in Hereford UK , sold it for £800 in 1976 .....Yep £800 .... The registration play was TVJ 390J
The Ford BDA one of a kind. I wish i had waited many years ago, could buy a 1700 cc dry sump driven 220 Hp for as much as 7700 GLD ( dutch ) about 6500 $ Now, i am buidling hybrid engine, based on 1600 Zetec blok, with fully ported two valve 1400 EFI head injected, 8500 rpm
NOW... I mean this when I say this... the Sound the Car... UNBEATABLE !!! Fucking AWSOME !!!! woooow !!! Congrats. Cheers to you for POSTING !! ;) woo !
A romantic thought, but the price of an untouched one in somewhat usable condition may cost you more than a reasonable dwelling - or an arm and a leg, at best... Keep up the dream and work hard, and you might afford one if you're lucky enough to come about one that's up for sale. ;D

The echo through the trees is wonderful
Nothing like the sound of an Escort BDA echoing through the forest, mechanical music.

At least we get to see it how it's supposed to be driven! Gorgeous sound coming through the trees. You KNOW it's an ESCORT!

Simply amazing to watch Escorts. 80's Rally report and Rac rally was fantastic with em.
Thanks for real rally sound... this is a great memory of my father Bengt Soderstrom.
.
Saw him in Yorkshire forests driving a mk 1 Lotus Cortina Ford works team.Car came into our garage with broken bottom ball joint.
Fabulous - what a unique sound the BDA has!
There's only two things in the world that makes my spine tingle, the hairs on my arm go crazy and make my heart skip a beat. One of them is the sound of twin cam escort.
What's the other?
Your mother
BOOM hahahahaa
BDA
iTS NOT AN ESCORT IS SOMETHING SIMILAR.
Beautiful. Always come back to this sound

Music to my ears. Fantastic.
Just listened to that at full volume through my Bose sound system and just had a mk1 going flat out through the house . Wife and neighbours are not impressed, but who cares.
I played it through the modified sound sytem in my 44t MAN truck.
Suddenly my 15litre engine had a different note to it. lol.
Pure magical music! 😎❤
bda power at full chat, music to my ears

Same, 1973 1300GT in white, sold it in 1989 for £700… 😢

Goosebumps
Reminds me of the New Zealand rally scene back in the 70's, when BDA Escorts were the cars to beat !!
Is there any greater sound in motor sport than an escort blasting around a forest
Hienosti laulaa ekkeri, pitää välillä tulla tuo murina kuuntelee. Onko vielä kunnossa?
Can you tell me who built your engine?
Listen to this through headphones, dam that sounds sweet. Awesome car!!
Kyllä on mahtavan rajut äänet. Löytyykö pakoputkesta yhtäkään vaimenninta? Paljonko suurinpiirtein on hevosvoimia?
Fantastic
music to the ears bda engine on full song .
This stage like the classic Welsh forest stages Clocaenog,Penmachno,Hafren wish they were used in current WRC
Nothing quite like it, is there...
Basically if you want to build a. World class winning rally motor , Britain should definitely be on your. Shortlist lol !!!!!
jumalauta että on hyvät äänet
well driven,nice motor
Which is the minimum age for race in a rally in Suomi?
Which category does this car belong? group N?

Dont think Joe Biden would be impressed

Only loud because straight through exhaust and no air filter, its no different to any other tuned four pot...
+Draxindustries1 No different to any other 4 pot that revs to 9000 RPM
if hell is give me a ticket.
The 4age sounds like the bda hmm I wonder why....
No I was referring to the similarities of the two and how the 4age is based of the bda. buzzkill.
ON.
Mk1+BDA=Märkä uni!
Desibelit vähän liikaa mikille... :|
ajettavaksihan ne on tehty
Uh that sound.....
good but not even close to the 80`s and Gunnar Kittelsen`s rallycross bda running 10.000rpms
dio cai come cazzo va... hahaha :-)
