Anyone see this last night? A bit of a wheeler dealers rip off but nice to see the Mexico restored. I do love the Fast Fords and would love one of these sat in my garage.

Yes
i thought it was interesting - Land Rover episode looks interesting

Ford Escort Mexico - Mate used to have one (well it was badged a Mexico) with the non factory option of a large gaping hole in passenger footwell - sold it for £500 and 3 months later it was totally overhauled and painted and re-sold for £4k

it did look as if it had about £5K of parts and labour - re-built out of Love no profit allegedly  '54 Adriatic Blue Vogue

I drove my neighbours one last week, mint condition. We are taking a few of his cars to a show next month, so I will get a longer run, which should be fun.

My very first car was a Mk1 Escort, sadly not a Mexico, but a rather fetching 1.something in a fetching metallic brown tone.

Managed to seize the engine on the way back from seeing Queen at the NEC in Birmingham in 1979ish, when I didn't notice the temperature guage was through the roof after the radiator burst on the M6  Got - 2017 SDV8 Autobiography in Loire Blue

P reg. that must be one of the last ones. I had a mk2 P reg

And the Land Rover was on last night
Anyone saw it? If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

I did - Wasn't so keen on the green paint they stuck on it ...

Makes you realise though what the salt on our roads does to the cars - That one had been in Tanzania and the Chassis was "better than cars 3-4 yrs old" or something like that ...

Back home in Kenya we have loads of late 70's early 80's range rover classics on the roads - All still going strong! African Bush Junkie ... in London!

I enjoyed it

I liked how they didn't want to over restore it, and put dents into the panels and orange peel paint to make it more factory like!

They did a tidy job to be fare, good on then and look forward to the stag and Delorean  If it dont work.......burn it!

Seen them both. I tend to watch most car stuff on TV, even the American stuff on the history channel etc.

The Mexico was very nice. Though I'd have had 4 Cibie spots on it. My mum had a mk1 1300xl estate when I was a kid. I'd have a mk2 if I had a choice, but that's prob because I saw more about and more rallying due to my age.

People sometimes ask why I've never built a kit car, and my reply is that I'd prefer to build an escort rally replica from a bare shell........non standard parts, faster, better, stronger........

Liked the land rover. Looked a good honest vehicle, but not sure I could live without modern comforts. If I ever have a proper landie, it will be jacked up, big tyres etc......

Looking forward to the Stag. I really would like one of those, or a GT6......,

i reckon it'll be a hit as the rude actor bloke appeals to non-car people. Wheeler Dealers still my guilty pleasure though
