MATT & ALAN EBBS CLASSIC FORD FLEET! 😃

Matt Ebbs (@ebbsyclassic on Instagram) has sent in these pics of the fleet of cool Fords that he owns along with his Dad Alan!
Matt has sent in such an EPIC write up I thought he could tell us about the cars in his own words:
"I own 2 old fords and my dad has a couple too (where my passion stems from) which I thought I’d share with you,
First is my 1982 mk1 fiesta bravo 2, bought at 16 it was my first car as it’s simple 1.1, now it’s running an St170 bottom end, blacktop Port n polished head with Newman cams, R1 throttle bodies and toyosport manifold onto Magnex stainless exhaust system. Diesel escort van IB5 with S2 RST LSD. Gaz coilovers all round, xr2 brakes, safety devices cage, RST recaro’s and harnesses, Compomotive cx’s etc. It’s an animal and makes a great noise. This fiesta has been in a couple of your videos one passing me on the way to classic ford at Mallory park, and in your south London retro breakfast meet video too 👍🏻
Secondly is my 1970 v4 Corsair,
bought it last summer with a piddly 1600 pinto it’s now got a full hot rod 2.1 pinto with Kent cam and twin 45’s, mt75 box, black line ATB, Volvo front suspension and bigger Capri brakes with lots of other goodies and upgrades. It’s 90% done and I'm hoping to start it for the first time this coming weekend, so it’ll be out and about this year at shows. I’ve been doing build updates on my Instagram.
My dad has a mk1 2dr cortina which was a 1200, now a cosworth BOB 2.9 v6, he’s owned it longer than I’ve been alive and was one of the first to put that engine in a cortina early 2000’s, full bare shell restored with cage and seats etc inside, Capri rear axle and hispec 4 pots up front, riding round in it as a child going to shows is where my love for old cars - especially fords comes from.
He also has just finished restoring the 105e anglia, same again full bare shell restoration in a VW orange, 1500 GT pre cross flow head on a lotus block, nice and nippy for the weight of the car, lots of fun and looks great!
In November 2018 we ended up on the cover of the projects edition of CFM, which was a proud moment for us, showing off years of blood sweat n tears."
What an AWESOME collection guys and congrats on the mazagine feature! Thanks for your email! 👍
