87 ford escort xr3i cab plus another with a turbo and 2 jags

My aunt has had one of these for years, it's done well over 200k miles and she adores it! Hers is pearl white, blue trim and top.

It looks spot on for this weather, good purchase!

they where an ugly HAIRDERESSERS cars , ye couldnt give them away , but everything in life they grow on you , and thats a beauty .hard to get a good one now

So since the 3i played up I have been showing my xj6 3.2 sport at every chance I get, it was in a parade to open a new relief road but as winter draws in I decided another jag would be a good idea so I bought a xkr with a full stainless with no cat or middle box which I have to say makes the most immense noise.

I also should say over the summer I joined a club called sk retros and have to say it's the best group of people with a great collection of random cars and have had loads of fun attending events and our weekly monday meet.

Anyway here are some pics in no order.

Just realised the pic of the grey cab was a random purchase I quickly stripped of the immaculate recaros and the rs 3 spoke steering wheel then sold on for a profit

So been busy bought a new house and added to my fleet.

The xkr passed it's mot with no issues, then day later decides to start over charging at 17volts so is now on the sick list.

My xj40 3.2 sport is living in a garage and will be out soon but now needs a headlining as it's dropped.

New additions are

A lowered on bbs volvo 240 torsalanda needs loads of little bits but is cool so it's a keeper.

Inspired by mercdans and Georges work I bought my 13 year old lad a mk3 fiesta 1.3 for his birthday it's done 40k and my son has lots of ideas so will be a long term project.

I also got carried away on eBay and bought a xj40 Daimler double six 6.0 which is very clean Runs ok needs a gearbox service but has good history and hasn't really been anywhere in the last 10years.

Then yesterday I got a deal sorted to part with my range rover tdv8 for a 1989 bentley turbo r so after a friend did the 400 mile round trip to get it I'm now a bentley owner it's very clean and has perfect wood down side is electric seat for driver doesn't work and I'm fat and previous owner wasn't so need to sort it asap apart from that it's ready for total retro in 2.weeks.

Also I purchased a Scooby turbo as it seemed a good idea it's needs a good tidy but runs well and has had 4 grand spent on welding and engine work so after cosmetics sorted it be ready for playing in.

So here's some pics of said fleet
