A mK1 Escort rally car ...

I know a guy who has one but its been chopped to bits.......thought you might be building a special or something
I'll sell you one, but ive got to find a November 72 frame first

Out of curiosity, how chopped? I have a mid 73 engine that was bored up and given the full treatment, iv been looking for a home for it for a while, so a non pristine frame would be ideal.

off memery all the back end was lowered like a chopper, I only glanced at it to be honest....

Hi baz I want a frame that’s not been chopped I would be interested in your frame if it’s up for sale cheers tony

hi Tony
like I said if I could find a nov 72 frame I would sell the April 73 frame what the bike is built on at the moment.
in a nutshell.........many years ago I bought a 73 euro z1 from Italy off the internet blind....as you do when you've had a beer
when it arrived it looked every bit as good in the flesh as it did on the picks, cracked it up and took it for a spin, ran mint.
I then noticed the 20 on the clock was offset like a 72 clock, got home and had a closer look and everything.....and I mean everything is stamped nov 72, not one repo part on the bike and nothing as been restored......why its on that frame....god only knows.
its like a rolling treasure chest of 72 parts

[Tony]

Hi baz good luck with the search for the 72 frame and if you do end up finding one bear me in mind for your 73 frame cheers tony

[Tony]

I’m still after a frame if anyone has one and can anyone give me some more info on these frames that are newly made cheers tony
