Not a Ford Escort: The MST Mk1 | Henry Catchpole - The Driver’s Seat

What other cars would you like to see Henry drive on this series?

What a car, but 150K, didn't think they was that amount.

Why Brits always talk about 'brake horse power' and wtf is that? Why don't just simply say horse power? 😆

..unless you've experienced the speed and fear of an early escort that's been pimped by a biker back in 84 and rolled through a field ye nae nowt

Henry Catchpole, what an automotive journalist!👏 Another fantastic video from Hagerty

Fantastic review. Obvs you had a whoopie time! Am lucky to know of this car from birth, all the guys involved, all the roads you used! Gives a real feel good factor!

Ive never got why yall like these the ones we got in America ficking sucked

I owned. Escort Mexico once. Incredible road holding near unbeatable on normal roads. Loved it and it loved my right foot!!😜

Must have been a womb moment

150,000BP? what happened to 65,000 to 80,000BP? That jumped up quick

Stunning. Miss mine had 2 of them used to go rallying thro the lanes of Wales. They really flowed with the roads

What roads are these? Looks like a lot of fun.

I'm speechless... Beauty car, good driver, amazing landscapes and... A gooooood sound!!!!

I watched a delightful car from a great man, with a great presentation, thank you Henry.

It's great! But since it's a new car, how can it be street legal without today's anti-smog systems? And airbags?

Nearly twice the bhp/ton of my E63S...wow! I need a bigger piggy bank.

LOVE THE MK 1 AWESOME LIL CAR :)

Why is the stance reverse raked?

Edit: Why are front wheel wells so completely different from the rear?

Every time I watch a Henry Catchpole video my faith in automotive journalism is renewed. The opening monologue was absolutely beautiful.

What a fantastic video on a fantastic car! Great work Henry, I have always been a fan of your scribblings in EVO.😎👍 A small point though..... I thought BDA stood for belt driven ancillaries? Keep up the great work.👍

Nice video. Please improve your voiceover quality. Too cottony and hard to read over the other tracks. It's either the EQ or mic quality but please correct it.

Think you need to bring the Mk 2 up to MST Henry...😉👍

Stupid money, great car, but not wort that

So the worst ergonomic feature of a 50 odd year old design is... a touch screen! No surprise there then!

4.9 ratio???

Wow what a car and what a great video!

Watched previously, but had a revisit it’s so good 👌🏻😎

Wow

Jason Cammisa and Randy Pobst should do their take on this superb build.

As an EVO reader from back in the day, Hentry being here makes me very happy.

Wow what a car! Think that would be my restomod of choice.

Mr. Catchpole, what a great pleasure seeing you here

If it's a brand new car... can the build em in LHD too?

Awesome car, never heard of it. Must have lots of power with the 250 hp and being small and light. I’d love to drive one to feel what it’s like! Those driving roads are great!

I would love to see something like this with one of those cyclone v6s

I love this road. One of my favourites. Watch out for sheep though!

I WOULD LOVE TO SEE JEREMY CLARKSON DO A REVIEW ON GORDON MURRYS ESCORT BY RETROPOWER. THE LOOK OF THAT MOTOR IS IN A DIFFERENT CLASS IT LOOKS LIKE A STANDARD TWIN CAM BUT ITS PUTTING OUT TWICE THE POWER AND A SUX SPEED GEARBOX. ITS A PHENOMENAL MOTOR I WOULD HAVE IT IN FROM OF ANY SUPER CAR.

SEAT are part of the Volkswagen group of companies…

i dont live in the uk and in my country i cannot import a car older than 5 years , if i were to purchase this car would the paperwork state its a new car ?

Mk1 looks like a beautiful full blown woman, MkII looks like a skinny girl.....

Soon as I win the lottery I'm ordering one in signal yellow 😁

What a happy video. Well done Henry!

All I ask is "WHY?” Ford really gave us the shaft by denying us THIS ESCORT and gave us what they did.

Lovely car, very nice. But £150K. It would be too expensive at half that! How can they justify that price? Get an old dog of a wreck, throw £20 - 30K at it and you would not be far away.

That's a really good classic red

the hell is Henry Catchpole on Hagerty? What happened to Carfection?

Bought in a heart beat if I had the coin. What a weapon!
