Amazing car.

That's like 2 pints in London right? Won't be surprised if it heads offshore.

Gordan Murray's MK1 could probably easily fetch 800k

brand MK2 escorts can be fabricated from scratch for around R1m equivalent these days, with a cosworth motor fitted.

Good god that must be ****ing exhilirating to drive, 10k RPM in that light body and that instant throttle response. Drove RS escorts in simulations before (Assetto Corsa, GP Legends), such fun, can't imagine real life.
