The items shown on this
page are parts that I have collected over many years of Escort ownership. I
have finally decided to try and re-organize all the stuff I have and decide which parts
I am really going to use in the foreseeable future, and which ones are probably never going to be used by me and could therefore
be past on to other Escort fanatics to help keep their cars going.

No self respecting
ex-works Escort or even replica works cars is complete without a set of
pea-lights to give illumination to the various bits of instrumentation.
The final picture shows a works car with pea-lights fitted around the
clocks. The lights for sale are complete with bulbs and wiring, are brand new
and priced at Sold Out.
The Cibie Type 45 Iode was used on the later works Mk1's as a reversing
light, this was mainly because of its very slimsize. This one is
secondhand but the lens is in immaculate condition with only some slight
scuffing on the chrome at the rear of the shell. Price £45
The Trico Crystal Switch was used in the Works Cars as a reversing light
switch, the handle lighs up when switched on. The box is a little beat up
but the switch is new and mint. Price £35

cars etc. These include the mechanical handbrake mechanism which hangs
below the caliper itself. These were in good working order when removed

This book, published in
1967 and titled "The Ford Book of Plus Performance", was, I
believe the first in a long line of Rallye Sport parts books. Apart from a
few minor marks and scuffs etc on the front cover this book is in perfect
condition.
Here is a
1971 version of the Ford Rallye Sport Parts book, sub-titled "Book of
Performance Parts and Accessories". Price £75
The highly respected
driver and author Jim Gavin wrote this book in the early 70's detailing
many of the modifications you needed to make to an Escort for rallying. It
also gives details of many of the Rallye Sport part numbers etc. The cover
has a bit of a knock but it is in good condition otherwise. price £30.
A book entitled
"The car that won't stop winning", I believe this book was
produced by Ford for internal distribution only and was not for public
sale. There are some loose pages in this example but there are none
missing. Price £30.
An original 1976
edition of the Roger Clark/Graham Robson book "Sideways to
Victory". This is essential reading for any Escort fanatic, the dust
jacket it slightly marked but it is in very good condition other wise.

This is
the genuine Ford Supplementary Workshop manual for the RS1600. This is a
well used example of this particular book, but it is full of lots of
useful info on these rare cars.
Here we
have the famous Bilstein Quick Lift Jack as used by the Works Ford Team on
both Mk1 and Mk2 Escort rally cars. This one is the early version of
this jack which drops the car in one fluid motion, as opposed to the slightly different
later version which lowers the car slowly. The final picture is taken from one of
the Ford Prep' books and shows how Boreham modified the jack for rally
use, more details and photos on request. This one is the instant drop type
favored by Boreham and is complete with the
handle which is often missing! Price £62.50.
I also have the later type one which is of the climb up and climb back
down type - Price £52.50.
SOLD What can I say about
these, the picture speaks for itself, when was the last time you saw a
pair of these for sale. A pair of genuine period Ford Sport covers for
Cibie Oscar Spotlights. The rarity is reflected in the price - SOLD.
SOLD Here we have a brand
new genuine Ford BD Series Cam Box lid. It does need a good clean but
would be perfect for that show car.
From the letters cast
on the inside it would appear to be for a BDG but I can see no discernable
difference from the one on my RS1600 BDA engine.
SOLD Here we have an old but
unused repro BDA Cam Box lid. It does need a clean up and repaint -
because of the quality this one is really only suitable for a rally car or
maybe a roadcar.
SOLD For the
real works effect you can use this New Old Stock period Twin Cowl dash top
by Autoplas.
