Default Escort information and pictures
After looking at some great web sites devoted to the aussie Falcons, I've decided that as well as building the "save the classics" database driven website (thread here: http://www.fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11280 ), I also want to start a site dedicated to the Ford Escort, in all it's different versions, with as much information and pictures as possible.

So consider this a call out to anybody else who could supply me with pictures and information that I could use, as well as any links to information that would be useful.

The sort of information I'm after is this sort of thing: Complete model list (for example, Mk II - GL, Ghia, RS2000, XL, etc.), specifications for the models, differences between different models and different years of manufacture (for example intermittant windscreen wipers being introduced in I think it was 1977).

Thanks in advance.

Ok, thanks to the Brochure Scans on here, combined with my own knowledge, this is what I've got so far:

Mk I Escort:
  • XL
  • L
  • Twin Cam
  • Mexico*
  • RS1600*
  • RS2000*

Engines (all 4 cylinder):
  • 1100cc Crossflow Kent
  • 1300cc Crossflow Kent
  • 1300cc Crossflow Kent High Compression
  • 1600cc Lotus Twin Cam (only in Escort Twin Cam)
  • Cosworth DOHC crossflow (only in 'sports' models denoted with a *, not in Twin Cam, various cc)

Mk II Escort:
  • Ghia
  • GL
  • XL
  • L
  • Mexico*
  • RS1800*
  • RS2000

Engines (all 4 cylinder):
  • 1100cc Crossflow Kent
  • 1300cc Crossflow Kent
  • 1300cc Crossflow Kent High Compression
  • 1600cc Crossflow Kent
  • 1600cc Crossflow Kent High Compression
  • 2000cc Crossflow Pinto
  • 2000cc Crossflow Pinto High Compression
  • Cosworth DOHC crossflow (only in 'sports' models denoted with a *, various cc)

Any obvious mistakes so far, or anything missing? For now I'm concentrating on the Aussie Escorts, so the Mk I and II models which were available here, as well as the sports models for competition.

And if things like this: http://www.zx2racing.com/images/zetecgeometry.jpg - only for the Kent, Pinto, Cosworth and Lotus engines used in the Escorts - could be located, it would be very much appreciated. I plan on making this the one-stop site for Escort nuts.

I've started work on the web site, it's located at http://www.fordescortinfo.atlaspc.info/ for now - I'll get a domain for it later

I'm still in the process of gathering information and adding it to the site, there is a lot I have yet to add. Then once I've got all the information I want, I'll concentrate on making it look better.
