QUICK SPEC S1 RST engine, FMIC, chipped ECU, Stage 1 turbo, S1 gearbox, 4-paddle clutch, clear cambelt cover

and custom heater box, Koni dampers with Spax springs, poly bushes, 16in Raceline RL7s, Cossie front brakes,

Spotted on the Welsh Ford stand,

Mark’s bright red XR3i was

gleaming in the afternoon sun.

Having owned this example for 11

years, he’s worked hard to create

his ultimate version of the Mk3

Escort. Starting with the engine,

he’s slotted in a rebuilt Series One

MARK BAYS ESCORT XR3i

IN THE SPOTLIGHT

RST lump that’s running 195bhp. The

exterior was painted four years ago

and still looks stunning, especially

with the plastics done in gloss black.

A set of Cossie brakes and Koni

dampers with Spax springs keep the

handling tight, while the hard to find

16in Raceline RL7s look like they were

made for the car. Inside there’s a

full complement of flocking and

seats trimmed in BMW nappa

leather. Mark says, “There’s not

much left to do, a new Kent cam

going in over the winter time.

Would like to see a bit more power,

maybe end up EFI at some point.”

Recaros have been

trimmed in plush

BMW nappa leather

You can’t beat the old-school

looks of sorted Mk3 Escort

Ed Spencer’s

FRP-engined
