A very precise and careful answer needed for this one. There's something special about it, so what is it?

Djetset · « **Reply #1 on:** October 09, 2009, 03:53:34 PM »

The Rookies have all gone to sleep on this one, so can the Experts make some noise?

Ford Escort Mexico

Djetset · « **Reply #3 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:25:09 PM »

Yes, it is a Ford Escort, but that would be far too easy, so I need more specific information as to what this particular Escort is.

guido66 · « **Reply #4 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:28:16 PM »

RS2000 is probably also much too easy?

Djetset · « **Reply #5 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:32:01 PM »

Yup. RS2000 is much too easy as well, so that's not the answer I'm looking for..

type 49 AVO big wing?

Djetset · « **Reply #7 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:43:17 PM »

No, not that either, and to save the blushes of any other Experts, I can also add that it is not an Escort RS1600 or BDA-engined Twin Cam Sport.

guido66 · « **Reply #8 on:** October 09, 2009, 04:47:26 PM »

Does it have a Rover 3500 V8 under the bonnet?

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #9 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:18:38 PM »

It's left hand drive and that looks like a french roundabout sign in the background.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say there is a modified Sierra Cosworth drivetrain under there?

Carnut · « **Reply #10 on:** October 09, 2009, 06:37:35 PM »

Is it a 4WD V6-engined rallycross car?

Octavia · « **Reply #11 on:** October 10, 2009, 04:30:29 AM »

Is it a Mk1 Escort RS1800 with Forest Arches and a BDA or BDG engine

studhamsmudger · « **Reply #12 on:** October 12, 2009, 07:08:53 AM »

Crayford Escort Eliminator?

Djetset · « **Reply #13 on:** October 13, 2009, 10:59:40 AM »

Sorry gentlemen, all good guesses so far, but all incorrect I'm afraid!

shamrock · « **Reply #14 on:** October 13, 2009, 06:20:12 PM »

mid engined ?

Djetset · « **Reply #15 on:** October 14, 2009, 08:13:24 AM »

Not really.

guido66 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 14, 2009, 12:59:07 PM »

rear engined?

Djetset · « **Reply #17 on:** October 15, 2009, 07:44:47 AM »

Not rear engined either!

guido66 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 15, 2009, 12:47:03 PM »

"mid-engined?"
"Not really"
Had it been conventional front-engined you wouldn't have used the words "not really" so it can't be normal front-engined
It isn't rear-engined.

So is it twin engined?

Djetset · « **Reply #20 on:** October 18, 2009, 05:07:55 PM »

It's not really front, mid or rear-engined, as it is (a big clue coming up!) as it is not piston-powered. Hope this helps

guido66 · « **Reply #21 on:** October 18, 2009, 05:19:15 PM »

If it would have an alternative engine, it still would be in the front or elsewhere in the car. Unless it has an electric motor in each wheel..

Djetset · « **Reply #22 on:** October 18, 2009, 05:39:09 PM »

A very good point. As I understand it, the power is placed in the front; centre and rear of the car;

gilescooperuk · « **Reply #23 on:** October 21, 2009, 06:00:31 PM »

Turbine power?

Djetset · « **Reply #24 on:** October 28, 2009, 02:07:16 PM »

No, not turbine powered.
