Owner seems like a really decent dude. Great story behind the car too. I’m sure his dad was pleased when he got it. 👍🏻

Damn got a little emotional hearing about his dad. There’s always a story behind a car, I’m sure the car will always bring you joy and reminders of your dad. My dad uses to be in the police force and he was a traffic cop. The cosworth was stolen a lot back in those days and whenever the car was in full flow he said it was impossible to catch

Ricky hitting those hints!😆 “So is it nice to drive?”, “what does it handle like?”. You gimme jokes Rick. Love the channel bro!

Really sorry to hear about your father. It’s a beautiful car, I used to lust after these back in the day!

Sorry about your Dad Nice car.

The wing never gets old

Rip the old man!... raised his kid well! God bless.

The people you introduce to this channel are what make it great. Down to earth, petrol heads who respect each other. Love the scene thanks to LLF!

What a cracking little escort, you can't beat old school for that no nonsense no safety net driving. Top bloke as well👍

Love that 99% of the comments on the LLF channel are positive and respectful. Ricky is doing something right 👍👍👍

Love the car and connected with the story straight away as I lost my dad with Cancer this year ✊🏼🙏🏽 one love

I was not expecting him to let you drive. I love driving but I wouldn’t want to drive a car that means so much to its owner. Props to the owner.

Lost my old man to cancer too. Richard’s expression at 2.49 is that moment when you talk about it and try to keep down how much it hurts. Big love my man. What a stunning car... a landmark of automotive history right there!

This cossy is mint for its age well looked after..

I have a soft spot for these old fords. My mum had an xr3i when i was a young lad. Oh the memories. Your content is second to none bro. Thankyou 👍

“You can optionally save your life!!”😂Great video.Great car

Sorry about your Dad bro. My Dad left me his motorcycle so I know that sentimental feeling.

What a gent!the smile on his face wen he gives it a bit is priceless!👍 great vid again Ricky!

A lovely back story and a lovely guy. Who can dislike this video? A wonderful example and once again great content Rikki 🔥🔥🔥

My grandads friend had one when I was little and the first time I went in it my love for cars was born. Glad this guy owns one as you can tell it all stay on the road. Your dad will be up there watching you enjoy what u deserve. Great video as per usual. Thank you ricky

First off, great backstory for the car. It has to mean so much more coming from his late father. It's a fantastic car and that factory roof spoiler looks incredible. Well done bringing this Cosworth edition to the channel Ricky!!

I grew up looking at these in awe! seeing the local police driving them was some sight!

This is what a proper RS should look like,BIG wing,BIG arches,BIG vents and it can't be mistaken for anything else. Unlike the latest Focus RS that looks dull as dishwater and blends into a carpark like any other run of the mill car.

An icon that still looks fresh today . Love the way it squats under acceleration,class.

Another Cossie on the channel, love it 👍🏻

Lovely car, so glad this chap was able to buy this. This is a car from the day of lightweight nimble cars. 220bhp in the day was massive. No, that power comes in a family saloon. Good work Ricky for showing this classic.

I like the fact that its not loud and screaming,that small turbo is a nice mix of sporty and comfort.

Love the comment about the cooling tank!😂 I love this reverential approach to keeping the performance car classics, stock. Top bloke, top car. Love the emotional family connection too👍

if i was him i would never sell it... Quality video again Ricky.

I don't know if anyone else thinks this, but why are there not more channels out there like LLF ?!?! In a YT car community flooded with the same Audi RS's and BMW 140i videos, it's so refreshing to see old school Cossi's, Megane RS's and Caterham's, different stuff is what I am saying. Not a hater of fast german cars at all, I drive one myself, but it's just good to see a bit more diversity from the same old, buy expensive car, do exhaust, it's louder, why I sold my (insert car here), buy's new car videos. As a true car lover, you learn to appreciate all markets, American, German, Japanese ect. Just wish more YT's like LLF showed off some of these old gems!!

I saw a escort cosy about 6 months ago a white one in Wigan I had just had a tooth pulled out mouth full of blood ect and it was sat at the traffic lights looking cool . It made my day lol Fck my tooth just seen a escort cosy on the road .

Literally loved this car as a boy growing up! An icon to the hot hatches! 👍 for keeping the car in original spec...! Lovely looking motor!

Real Unicorn Ford. I remember in my teens in the 90's seeing one of these and just being amazed at how awesome they were.

Was fortunate to be in 2 of these back in 97, having seen one since absolute beasts.

What a memory this car brings to me , raving and proper little fellas and cars like this driving around that was just a dream to own and never reality !

Amazing colour, never seen it before. All the ones I saw back in the day were the bright blue. What a lovely genuine bloke too. If ever there was an example of a car that means more than the sum of its part's, here it is.

I never knew these were that young... not sure why but I always thought these were early 90's. Makes my mk1 Audi S3 look odd as its near the same age! Yet my 20 year old S3 has xenon headlights, full climate control, cruise control, heated leather seats, electric folding mirrors, Bose sound system etc. Mad!

Absolutely fantastic. Love how clean it is too. Keep em coming Ricky! 👊🏾

One of the nicest looking cars ever made them. Love them.

Thanks again Ricky for bringing us top quality content 😎

What a motor loving these old school cars 👌

Keep the old classics coming!! This escort cosworth is immense

Another amazing classic car! Big up to the driver to showing us his pride and joy. A real investment, will only go up in price.

Lovely car and owner looks a real nice guy too. Hope he keeps the car for years to come

This is mad. Such a unique car. I have never seen one of these before.

beautiful car, sorry for the loss of your father 🤙🏽🙏🏽

Fantastic old school motor, fantastic new school presenter. Great content and a lovely story behind the ownership!!!!

Great vid Ricky. Respect to the man with 2 Cossies - Soooo cool. The Escort Cossie brings back memories for me. When they were first launched, my aunt (who is no longer with us) worked for a Ford dealer. Her knowing, even back then as a young lad, that I am mad on cars, especially Ford's, took me down her dealership as they had one in the showroom!

NOW we are talking ! Many thanks

Been my dream car since I was 12 now coming up 32 and still don't own one but defo not giving up amazing car

producing some fantastic content recently Ricky! keep up the good work 200k coming fast!

An old mate had a new one of these when they first rolled of the production line, and let me drive it, is a fantastic car I still remember it with affection, there selling for a lot of money now(£91,995 on ebay for a new example with 6000 miles) Like he said he also likes & wants to get the Focus RS MK2 I bet that’s a blast, and no doubt the MK3 as well

Bringing old school to the masses !!! Love it Ricky! 👌🏽💪🏽🙌🏽

I love the escort cossy my dream car as a kid I had a massive poster in my wall!! Respect to Richard for keeping stock and another great vid Ricky 👊🏻👊🏻👏🏻

Yes Ricky killing it!! Been watching you from the first video up to this one! Top guy🤙🏽👌🏽🔥

Even in 2018 the Escort Cosworth holds its own. A really nice example and a great video.

best car ford have ever made

These were the cars I wish I was old enough to drive when they used to tear up and down the place back in the day. Real nice fella as well. Taking that car out at the weekend is one of the coolest things I can think of that would keep the memories of your Dad in your thoughts man.

What a car! 😍 they don’t make em like they used to! 👊🏻

Nice to see an older classic on the channel. My dream car back in 90s, only ever seen one on the road before.

Seamless production!!🔥🔥

What a nice guy and a superb classic car! I love this channel and just how cool everyone is in the comments! Ricky should be proud because I would comfortably say as a car enthusiast and massive petrol head that this is the best automotive vlog and this page will be huge one day in the not too distant future!

The variety of cars is what sets this channel apart from the others, and Ricky is da man too.

first 👌🏼 great video Ricky as always! love these escorts

Hell of a parting gift from his old man, beautiful car. Top bloke.

For anyone in their mid to late 30's this car is the daddy! Would love a nice clean one like this.

Love this! Keep up the classic vids. Top man 👍

Great to see this car Ricky, I’ve loved these cars since I was about 3, I’ve always played with the cast toys when I was younger and still love them to this day! Great content again and what a cracking example, nice to see a genuine owner aswell who takes pride in his car 👍🏼

I have newly subscribed to your channel after going for a pint with Richard, great to see his Cossie on your channel! Can’t beat the old fords!!!

Fantastic motor Richard Really looks mint , great to see classics on the channel Ricky

A very humble, honest and genuine guy! Great to see another special and highly maintained classic car again on this channel. Keep doing what you're doing & very glad to see it paying off for the channel also

Wow that car is mint, belongs in a museum! Beautiful

Yes Ricky! Videos are edited so well... one of my dream cars! Keep killing it 💥💥

Brilliant video once again Ricky, never like these RS Escorts in the day but envy them now , lovely car.

8:05 made me crease the way ricky laughed

Escort cosworth👏🏾👏🏾Ricky I’m loving it🖤🖤

Worked on one with 350bhp back years ago. Always remember the test drive after (longest one I ever did) and thinking at the time, I never wanted to drive back! lol awsome car, power was so aggressive! Will always love the RS Cosworth's!

Liked even before watching, Ricky you killing it on a different level #1 Pray's and blessing's you way :)

Sorry about your dad mate. Really nice car! The interior still looking crisp after so many years is amazing. Nice to see a "normal" car on your channel Rick! Sad you didn't get to drive it though.m

I got picked up from shool in one of these when i was 16 for my birthday and im 28 now, since that day its been my dream car i love it. Nice car mate.
