Right then link to the magazine fordscene.de/index.php?id=1511 Its basically Germany's version of performance Ford. Their site is well worth a look (remember google translate is your friend  ) heres a quick translate of the tiny bit of info I found online Grey Eminence - 70 Escort Of course, a Swede goes to Volvo. What else? Finally, the big sedans are as popular in their native country as Escorts in England. And now we get to the keyword: Stefan Gren wanted to make something different - so grabbed a 500-hp Volvo turbo engine to put in his 1970 Escort! |

And can't find colour details, but its very very similar to the new abarth grey  which is a lot like the old BT van grey! I believe its called telecom grey (grau) 4, I just bought some myself to paint the engine bay on my Jag! (that my excuse for being sad enough to know paint names!) |

So simple but looks so understated and stylish compared to most bubble arched Mk1's.

The escort was featured in retro ford. Loads of power iirc. The builder was into old volvo's, then he built this but sold it afterwards. Has M3 getrag transmission.
