Always a biggest fan of you and your work...cheers matey..

Being 50 I have to say, I love seeing these old escorts. Fantastic. Takes me back to the days when my old man was in the army and life was good. Days gone never to return. England was so different. My kids just roll their eyes back when I start going on about it 😂

Mate, it was so different back in the 70's though, it was great times for a lot of things, not so much for fashion, but cars were much more fun than they are now. And the 80's Escorts were changing hands for peanuts, i had loads, RS2000's, Mexico's, Sport's, Rally cars, they were all brilliant fun to own.

It's always a bit dangerous trying to define what a "proper car enthusiast" is, but surely this guy qualifies on every level no matter what. Brilliant couple of videos.

Takes me back to my old man's Escort MK1 loading us up every summer weekend in the 70s at 4am to miss the traffic and gets us to Southend from Shepherd's Bush.

Oh... putting the “pride” into pride & joy.

Wow this brings back great memories of my Escort Mexico 1600 I rallied, raced and hill climbed in NZ in the mid 1970’s I think the Mk 1 shape is timeless and still looks good.

I always liked the old escorts, but now after watching this video I absolutely love them.

Absolutely brilliant!! Watching this video was pure nostalgia having owned a lime Green MK 1 1600GT Mexico all my dreams and aspirations are being fulfilled by this wonderful guy!! Look forward to seeing more of him and his Fords!

What a humble man Russell Lord is. Very talented and perhaps doesn't realise quite how good he is. Reminds me very much of Bernard Newbury, the VW coach trimmer. Nice seeing the old Granada again too Jonny!

The Lord is a total legend! What an inspiration of determination and excellence

When you see and hear the passion, and knowledge this guy has for the humble Ford Escort it’s somehow reassuring, he’s like the antidote to a modern homogenised Ford or any new car come to that.

That guy is a legend with those cars he owns, lovely mk1 Escorts ..I also bowed at the unveiling of the 68 Twink, real or not it's gorgeous none the less. I own 11 Escorts mk1/2s but none as good as those , including a mk2 my 2nd car bought for $250 in 1995 !!

A man with passion totally remarkable hobbies, he puts top gear presenters to shame and rest of car show geeks

What a joy to watch and thank you Jonny for taking us along. Also a big thank you to Russell for letting us share his love for his beautiful collection of Fords

I think they are the “best” most interesting, enjoyable KZread vids I have ever watched, bar none! What an amazing man, such a love and absolute passion for everything in his life and others. What a pleasure that was.

Such an amiable chap, who has a wealth of knowledge about all his cars. well done Jonny, bet he's a friend for life! Utterly gorgeous cars. So very envious

Another good video, as a Ford fan myself I absolutely love the mk1 escort. Lovely man really takes serious pride in his work.

What a star! Beatiful cars cared for by a proper fella. Thank you for sharing.

This man is amazing. Also, it us true that you will always have a soft spot for your first car that you ever own. The one that you bought with your own money. Mine was a total crapbox, but I loved it. A 1988 Hyundai Excel GS. Bright Red, two tone grey and red sports interior, 1.5 litre, 5 speed manual. Had every option. Cost me 8,250 dollars. Bought new. Put 200,000 miles on that car. Only caught fire once. (Electrical) Transmission gear shift fell through the floor twice. (Gear linkage slider failed) After 8 years the paint was a dull orange. The sport bucket seats developed holes from wear and tear. (Foam padding collapsed) Drivers side window broke when rolling it up and it crashed inside the door and shattered. 68 whopping horsepower. 13" "Mag wheels ". But to this day, I loved it, because it was mine.

This had me smiling all the way through, Russel's passion for what he has and what he has created is amazing, you can hear and see the joy he has showing you the things he has created, just an awesome video. Well done Jonny.

Stunning stunning stunning!!!!

I look forward to the finished car Mr. Lord Of FORD! *Thumbs Up*

My first car was a Mk1 escort,HOB 460N,1750cc,light blue,owned it twice,put a massive smile on my face every time drove..

I had a newspaper cutting of Timo Mackinen pushing his mk 1 through the water in an early seventies Safari. Probably the car in the pic. All the best with the restoration. Love the mark ones.

21 mins in and I realised I had a big dumb grin on my face. It’s great to see the passion, knowledge and enjoyment that he has. Thanks so much for doing a follow up to the objets d’art episode.

I had a Mk1 Mexico when I was 16... Oh boy this brings back memories. Super little cars and super escort enthusiast keeping them alive. ☺

Attention to detail is mind-blowing 👌

This has been an absolute pleasure to watch, currently in 12 week quarantine with covid-19 ....... given me an escape from reality. Thank you

The stuff of dreams!! Wish I had picked up all the cheap MK1s back in the day because by the time the mk3 came out, the mk1s were cheap and plentiful! I grew up with them, had several in my family, my dad liked the estate version, there was a brand new Mexico next door in that copper bronze colour, sounded beautiful. 👍😎😯

I had the same car me and my mate used to race to work at 5o clock in the morning down twisty lanes in n Wales , brings back very happy memories I’m now 71 I’d love that car again. Nice to see someone with his skills looking after them !

A great video about a guy and his love ov motorsport and his lucky quarter lite window..he explains with passion .

This bloke is a jack of all trades, master of all.

I could listen to Russell talk about cars all day he's so humble an absolute gentleman thanks Jonny for the great video

Talk about attention to detail. This guy simply rocks. ‘I just done it for me and Fanny Ann’ I just love it 👍

He’s a good man. And thorough.

The skills and talent and knowledge of Alan are just phenomenal, he's an awesome guy with gorgeous cars real and model . What an amazing guy, i really enjoyed this episode ❤❤🎉🎉🎉

Mr Lord is a hand-on renaissance man, seems to turn his hand to literally ANY job,.....I thought I was handy when I was younger but no, I hadn't a clue & this man is proof of that. Impressive.

This guy seems the type you don't feel jealous of. He's got wkd stuff and I'm so glad for him. There's something about the MK1 & 2 I love. My parents had a white Mk2 estate when I was a kid, happy times.

I used to own a MK I with a 1.3L when I lived in Germany back in the mid to late 70's - blew the engine coming out of Munich one day but a bunch of us replaced the engine, throw-out bearing and clutch while we had it apart... fun little car - drove it to Switzerland and France - miss that vehicle !! Thanks for posting this video - brought back some good memories !!

You Jonny are a Treasure, Such a Super kick ass Bloke!!!

This man is a perfectionist and it’s brilliant

OMG This is the best video. Remind me my young age when I wanted to be a rally race driver with those Escort and the 131 Arbarth .... and then came the Audi Quattro who change the rally world

Love that it’s the 1300 GT that’s the true love ❤️ What a guy!

I don’t like Fords and I don’t like Vauxhalls, but I love other people’s passions in their favourite marques. I also love garages, and he has the best two. Keep them coming, Pervert, these are the things car lovers want to watch but can’t get on TV.

The first car I bought my wife was a Mk 1 1300 automatic! Not very fast but so light and fun to drive kids loved it we called it Bluey - well it was blue! Hole in the floor that the Year 12 Mechanical shop students fixed for me as part of their lessons! So we had two fords at the time my V8 Fairmont 1969 and the little Escort. Muscle car and buzz box!

What a man. Such a perfectionist.

What a lovely pair of videos to watch.

So many opportunities to smile, giggle and LOL with this video. I love this guy… in a totally appropriate, blokey way, obviously.

No particular fan of Ford (despite it being my family name) or ICE cars but, this and the previous episode with Russell were brilliant. Such a talented man. The geekery between you two was top level. Deep joy! 👏👏👏😁

Had to watch this video about 4 times as my eyes were everywhere looking at the pictures on the wall Amazing stuff

Watching this brings back memories of a young childhood,, my father owned one of the MK1 prototype V8 Escorts in half rally spec that he purchased after the project was abandoned, as a child i remember spending many hour sitting in it whilst it sat in our garage,, unfortunately when the recession hit hard he was forced to sell it without even getting to drive it once,, in my late teen i was an Escort fanatic and over the years i owned many models from basic 13 all the way through to the RS 1600 and later on through the MK2 range as well, i lost interest when the MK3 came out but when i think back i always recall the V8 my father had owned and hell i wish i owned that very rare car now.. Great collection of escorts and good to see an escort fanatic just how i was many many years ago.

Now that really was a walk down memory lane.

I used to own a Ford Escort 1.3L Saloon mk2 1980V. Enjoyed your video. Lovely to see your mk1&2.

Pleasure to watch. Great to see his work. Absolute perfection ❤

This guy is a legend I could watch him for hours

WOW, the green Escort was good, the red 1300 GT was better then POW, that white Twin Cam, had a 1971 Mexico in 1984, that was Ermine White with a thin red triple pin stripe, RS alloys, rally seats the same as the ones for the green Escort, a centre console and map reading light and a blueprinted engine, boy was it quick, seeing that lovely Twin Cam brought it all back, what a great video, nice to see Mk 1 Escorts still being rebuilt and ENJOYED.

I’m so happy for this guy. In the other vid he said he didn’t consider himself an intelligent person. Maybe not academically, but this guy is plenty smart and extremely capable.

MK1 Escort is my all time fav car. glad i got to own one back in 1981 , an F reg 1100 in sky blue.

Jonny as soon as you can and are allowed again you have to get them out on the road............. just awesome.

Absolutely! Fascinating! I have always been a Ford/ Lotus Fan! Will watch every possible edition! A very knowledgeable Man! Thanks you for this very informative! Video! Paul Budd.

One of my closest friends and I are huge fans of Mk 1 Escorts. We both spent years in Yorkshire during the early years of the Escort Mk 1. In fact my buddy had a Mk 1 and I had a Lotus Cortina which, believe it or not, I brought to the UK with me from the States. Every time I see an Escort Mk 1 video on You Tube I can't help but watch it and send it to my friend. Johnny, thanks a million for doing this. I only wish we could get those Mk 1s over here. Dick B - Sarasota Florida

The Mark 1 never looks old to me . Great to see such passion .

Unbelievable to watch the passion he has for the Ford’s it’s amazing,people should also watch the Ford model that he made in his jewellery store put in thousands of hours into it.

Fantastic cars and what a nice man

What a geezer. I'm not a Ford fan myself, but you have to respect and admire his attention to detail and his love for the Escort. Good luck sir.

Brings back memories. Had a Mk1 Escort in my youth. It came a with a Ford Capri Gt engine and gearbox. Lot's of fun. More fun than any other car I've owned since.

I've never got the whole Ford thing but I massively respect this guy for his knowledge and enthusiasm.

Why I never watched this episode sooner I’ll never know. WOW JUST WOW! Takes me back to my childhood days of when my dad and uncle used to rebuild old Fords. Plus my Grandad (Gordan Mcfarlane) was Ford mad as he worked in the Halewood factory from 1962 to 1989. Our family had so many old Fords over the years it’s hard to list them all. Sadly my Grandad past away just before Christmas at the grand old age of 93. The guy was my hero and loved by everyone. God rest his soul. XXX

This was incredible. No more words needed.

Russell is so good at building these Escorts! Bravo to him and Jonny for introducing us to him and his beautiful cars!

A genuine geezer. Could listen to him all day 👍
