Used to have an 88 Escort GT. But I always wanted a Cosworth rally car it's just the top of the line. And now you've gone and just made it even better. Glad to see you've brought From the Ashes what's the wonderful team of builders. Hope you can enjoy this one for a long time.

For someone who's never had one, but watched a lot of old WRC Cossies, I love that you've carried history into the future. Taking a few symbols, ground up bits from the original, and integrating them into the paint, is an homage. It shows respect for those that worked on, and drove the originals. Hopefully, Version 2 will get the same treatment when the time comes.

The Escort Cossie is one of those cars that just looked so right in stock form, even when I was really in to modified cars in the early 90's you rarely saw a modified one that looked right* and it was hard to even get different wheels outside the classic choices, Compomotive Mo, Montecarlos, to look right. Nothing over 18s or it looked like a toy. Even the WRC was a lot uglier. * the Wolf stuff from Germany worked quite well, but was really subtle. Ken's mk II looks great and it's kind of in keeping with the time with the tarmac arches and x-pack kits of it's era. At the end of the day Ken owns my three favourite Fords (mk II, RS200 and Cossie) and he rocks his own style on all of them.

Genuinely didn’t think a Cossie could get any cooler, but hats off guys, that is the most bad ass cossie ever created! Can’t wait to see it compete.
