CAR Magazine did a feature on these guys recently and then I came across their YouTube channel via Gordon Murray's Mk1 Escort http://www.mx5life.com/forum/index.php/topic/43961-gordon-murray's-mk1-escort/

I think they deserve a thread on here.

Looks like they've got some decent kit.

It would be nice to get the MX-5 done.

There are some nice examples of their work on the website http://www.retropower.co.uk

I’d love to have the cash for them to do a Mk1.....maybe squeeze in a V8 while they’re at it.

Or maybe an NC Superlight............

Off to buy a lottery ticket

A Retropower Mk1 MX-5 was my first thought when I saw their work.

Thank you again, Jono. Wonderful clips.

The concept of being able to buy a 'new' old car is so charming. I want an Austin-Healey 100 M... I know suffer a drop in performance... but I am willing to suffer.

As the Gordon Murray Escort nears completion there's a new project.

Project Utah.

Thank you, Jono.

It sounds more interesting that a Ford Escort.

Yes!!!.....Couldn't get any better for me as an Ex Mk1 Escort owner (and Jaaaaggggg fan)... :thumbsup: :nod:

To a Mk2 Jag!! (albeit in a slightly different guise).....which, co-incidentally is the car I remember most from my youth!

COP 52C probably long since gone to the great scrapyard in the sky!!

Thank you, Jono. That is a great clip, as all their products are.

 

[Garffey]

Thanks Jono.... :thumbsup:

Really looking forward to this, unlike some of the 'purists' he talked about....why not bring a Mk2 into modern times?

As much as I appreciate 'older motors'.... I can get with the ideas here.

It'll be a hell of a car I think.

Thank you, Jono.

When I see these kind of projects I think, "Your taxes at work." It really is the lack of taxation on the wealthy which has allowed the extreme differences in wealth we are now seeing.
