They were superb cars at the time. Virtually everyone I knew had a Mk2 `scort. I had the 1300, which I had bored out to about 1440, with a big valve 1600 head and the twin webers too. I was quite proud of myself, cos I did all the head work on my Mum`s kitchen table...LOL.... and the car actually ran really well after I`d finished working on it (that was a surprise ).
Also she had twin-tone air horns for scaring pedestrians and a bus reversing alarm that I wired up to a separate circuit along with a set of spotlights. I used to do a one day a week course in Manchester and the traffic was a bloody nightmare coming home. One flick of a switch, the spots would flash on and off and the bus reversing alarm would sound, it did help to clear traffic out of the way ...LOL....
They were pretty bullet-proof motors, cheap for parts (with a lot being interchangable), easy to work on and fairly cheap to run. What more could you ask for a first car .
Regards,
Ian.
P.s. I really must get some proper work done now, instead of thinking about my past motors....LOL....
