Morning, many years ago around the early 90s, I seen a magazine with a Mk1 Escort Stationwagon in it, could have been Street Machine or Fast Fours, not sure of the mag but I was wondering if anyone could tell me which mag it was and or if anyone has a copy, I know its a long shot but any information would be greatly appreciated. i am trying to find it for a non believer.
thanks |

For starters they are called Estates - google that you will find a few
Here's one with a Cosworth fitted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iLgFIQjlwU

I have a photo of one from about 6 years ago at a small car show in Adelaide Hills.
First time I had seen one. If I can find it I will post it up. Was probably posted here somewhere when I first took the photo. As a religious Street machine reader since the early 80s, I have no memory of a feature. Could be wrong but possibly a different mag like the Fast 4s you mentioned |

The Estate can be 2 or 4 door, some of the early ones were 2 door, but mostly 4 door now

I said nothing about mk 1 escort, i was replying to the post above mine in which the reference of a estate can mean 2 or 4 door, as they still call them a estate today and they are predominantly 4 door.

Yeah, the smaller Estates (wagons) were often only 2-door, earlier on. Geminis, Escorts, Mazdas, Vivas etc.
As they got larger they became 4-doors. Dr Terry. |

As a young Ford dealer mechanic around 1970, saw plenty of MkI Escort PVs. I remember thinking they went pretty quick for an 1100cc motor, but realised they had a very low ratio rear axle (4.4:1 maybe?). So quick around town, what they were designed for, but would have been painful in the country.
I don't think I ever saw a wagon/estate.

I fitted a 1600 with a cosworth Cam - very lumpy idle.. red line 7000 RPM it could hit redline in 4th. a friend had a brand new Honda CRX and My escort would beat it through 1st gear, but he was easily past be before we hit 100kph.

The escort estate/wagon was 2dr is what I'm saying. Of course other cars are come in the 4 dr variety for wagons. Why would you assume I'm talking about any estate other than the escort? Most estates and wagons are 4 dr of course! (or 5dr if you want to be pedantic which I assume you will be) |

For the OP
Quote:
In the UK they do not call them station wagons at all, they only refer to them as estates, and all the estates were wagons of 2 or 4 door configuration no matter the year make or model, that is all I was referencing Quote:
I already knew that they did not make a 4 door MK1 escort estate so the question seemed odd, plus from your post its sounds like you are saying that a wagon is a 4 door, and a estate is a 2 door, when they are both, so thats why I commented on your post. |

So I was asking them because if they were after a 2dr then that could be googled easier than joining up here to ask so the question was strange. They could have possibly believed they saw a 4dr mk1 escort wagon once so they went to the effort of posting to chase proof. I wanted to ascertain their motive for asking. If they were chasing a pic of a 4dr mk1 wagon then we all know that wasn't possible. I couldn't see the point of asking about a vanilla 2dr wagon in a forum they had to join up to when they could have googled that? Last edited by oldel; 03-02-2021 at 12:11 AM. |
