Cosworth-Powered Ford Escort MK1 Restomod by Gordon Murray
Gordon Murray, renowned for his contributions to the automotive world, has crafted an exceptional Ford Escort MK1 restomod. Starting with a deteriorated shell from South Africa, Murray transformed it into a road-ready classic with modern touches. Under the carbon fiber hood is a Cosworth-built 2.3L Duratec engine producing around 250 hp, paired with a 6-speed Mazda MX-5 gearbox. The vehicle features 13-inch wheels with Yokohama tires, a bespoke dashboard, and a heated driver's seat. The rear seats have been removed for a more practical daily driving experience.
