After them pulls I think I’ve just messed my pants. Funny how an engine noise can make a 51 year old man go all weak at the knees beautiful car takes me back to my escort days
I had a concours Mk2 RS Mexico a few years ago in Venetian Red, the standard 1600 Pinto in that was a lot less fun than the stunning BDG in this beautiful 1600 Sport though !! This car has to be the best 1600 Sport in the country for me
What a stunning build and sound that engine makes is unmatched by any other engine. Hope you have as much fun driving it as the rest of us have in hearing it !! BDG FTW.
Back in the late 70is i owned a 1302 sports edition mk2 escort and a few years later a 1602 sports edition with special shock absorbers..., very good good cars to drive..., and very fast for its days..!!!
The noise of a bdg 🥳. When my street mk2 is painted i go millington or bdg. I like the millington but there is something about the bdg noise and the carbs.
Mk2s were made to go sideways. Back in the day I had an ex tarmac rally one. Things was that low I parked it on my lawn and when I backed it out it left a trench line from the diff. Awesome car. Wish I knew then what they be worth today.
I had a 1979 Escort 1600 Sport when I was in the RAF in the mid 80's it was in a bright orange red colour, with the blacked out chrome trim and quarter bumpers on the front, one of my favourite cars I ever owned .👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That's one sweet car, I'm honestly green with envy!! ,I wish I'd kept my MK2 but in 1991 they were 2 a penny...oh well..I can still dream about having one!😉👍
just a suggestion maybe find a better quieter place for the intro chat with the owner next time as its hard to hear over the traffic in the background. lovely car, sounds epic. thanks for sharing.
Beautiful car, nice chap, start of the video had a little too much background noise but that’s easily sorted buddy, just don’t park beside a busy road, would really liked to have seen you drive it for your own real life review, fantastic though keep up the good work
As soon as that loud pedal gets pressed the whole world smiles what a incredible build stunning 🤩
I can understand the craze for these old Escorts. You dont hav to break the speed limit to put a smile on ye face, good old skool motoring!!! ❤

One of the best sounding four cylinder engines ever made 👌👌👍👍
the rip off that engine and exhaust,takes you right back to the eighties... i'm sitting here grinning from ear to ear lol
🙌🏻
18:04 thats what puts a smile on my face
Thats got to be one of the best sounding Escorts I’ve heard. Bloody outstanding. If money was no object. I can dream 🤣

Your reaction says it all. What an absolute machine of a car
Sounds fantastic!
Incredible car. Absolutely wicked engine. Nothing compares to a well sorted old skool ford.
There's something very special about a bd engine no other engine sounds so sweet
Had a look round this car at oulton park track day last november , very nice car and owner had no qualms showing us inside and under the bonnet 👍
I been watching this Mk2 for a while now. I’m absolutely in love with it .just Stunning Mate thanks for making a Film about it 👍
Now that's what I call a proper old school car, naturally aspirated sounds awesome and geared right to put the power down👌 top job!!👍
Wow...the best escort I've heard I'm all the way from south Africa currently building a MK2 escort with a pinto hope to get it to sound great
Now that's a really tidy car
probably the best mk2 escort build in the last 10 years.
Agreed. And I've seen a few
@@benbirch2393 that makes 2 of us
It's clean af and sounds amazing
What a stunning build and sound that engine makes is unmatched by any other engine. Hope you have as much fun driving it as the rest of us have in hearing it !! BDG FTW.
The sound of that engine 😍

That's why I love my 1998 ford escort gti it just puts a smile on my face.
You two looked well happy nice vid great car.
Beautiful build.....Timeless..
One of those cars that just gets better with age, can't lose with one
That’s a stunning MK2 in all the right ways, gunning it down Shotton and Deeside 😊
I’ve watched this more times than i care to admit 😂
The noise of a bdg 🥳. When my street mk2 is painted i go millington or bdg. I like the millington but there is something about the bdg noise and the carbs.
BDG

That engine bay 😍
And that sound 💯
Christ that shifts! What a sound from that engine 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Unbelievable motor , absolutely love mk2’s , to watch this video put headphones on and crank up the volume 😎👌👌👌👍
No other engine sounds as great as that. My claim to fame is I sold Andy the bootlid on this car!
Proper sound ❤
Definitely one of the best mk2s out there in my opinion, love it.
Amazing neat tidy engine bay
Stunning love it a mk2 by far is the best sound in the Forrest
Awesome video guys that is probably one of my favourite mk2s on Instagram love seeing it
MINT!! I love the sound of a high revving car, bet that car would take on many modern hot hatches no bother.
I had a 1979 Escort 1600 Sport when I was in the RAF in the mid 80's it was in a bright orange red colour, with the blacked out chrome trim and quarter bumpers on the front, one of my favourite cars I ever owned .👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
There were two ‘oranges’ 78 signal orange then Venetian red, Signal red and Terracota…
BDGs look and sound awesome. Nice car.
That's one sweet car, I'm honestly green with envy!! ,I wish I'd kept my MK2 but in 1991 they were 2 a penny...oh well..I can still dream about having one!😉👍
Beautiful Escort! Strangely though, it's still registered as a 1600 and no MOT?
Beautiful Mk11 man, you've just taken me back to my youth lol, that baby can rev, keep er lit man, respect.
Sounds as sweet as f..k, one of the best MK2s I’ve seen, stunning motor 👍👍👍

Would love to have that car had 3or4 mk.2s but never as good as that thats a poor life and making do for you . Nice car my friend
👌 lovely car
A proper BDG is iron block.And the cylinder head has 4 stud exhaust fixings.
what a beauty
Ah what a sound. This and a 6r4 or audi Quattro
It's the dog's danglies.
Yes please.
I'd really like to build a MK2 but I live in Orlando, next time I'm in England I'm gonna Hunt for one.
Bring plenty of money
very very nice
Oh yes sir 👌
I think I’m correct in saying the BDA was a 1.8 lt engine which was fitted to the RS 1800 Escort.
What wheels are on this? Gorgeous.
