Chris Elworthy Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 b*******. Beaten by a fellow YB owner... in yer dreams...........whats that, oh you didn't mean that sort of beating. Puts Anorak on and zips up to chin.......strictly speaking my base engine is a YA not a YB YAB001 (mine) was the only Nat Asp prototype built and supplied to Ford for testing when they were looking at putting a non turbo Sierra into production in 1988. There is also a YAC which is a Nat Asp version built for Midget Racing in USA I believe (this is the Piston type I have, they are flat tops and probably not as effective as the Accralite jobbies........that I now have on order) Blatters is yours from a YBB, YBC, YBD, YBF, YBG, YBJ, or YBP? The reason there is no YBE is because Cosworth thought Ford would refer to it as Your bl**** Engine. Quote
markcoopers Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 Yep you win Chris, Anorak and wooden hanger trophy are in the post. Quote

Blatman Posted September 6, 2005 Posted September 6, 2005 I think mines a YBB. Early 2WD turbo engine converted to Atmo by me using genuine Cosworth pistons (ouch...), and now producing around 235bhp Quote
Numptie Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Just so happens ... a friend of mine is selling this. Cheers, N Quote
Lordbenny Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Mate of mine sold an original Escort 1600 BDA in bits for £6500 to a guy in Germany recently. Once assebled it''ll be worth around £20,000....apparently.:0 Quote
