I had in AVO: MST shows new MK1 sports

Yes, it is another MST creation very similar to the old Ford accompanying. Not anything announced by the company about this new MK1 sport as a surprise. But do you know what? This looks very great. In a world in which the names are changed and then changed again, where press releases are as long as Hanya Yanagihara and Sierra RS500S are hundreds of thousands of pounds, which seems (which is) an intelligent contemporary development on the classic summer Ford looked like a perfect plate cleaner. Especially with the price of BMW M3 competition.

This is the MK1 SPORTS, a car described by MST as a project “Back to the Basics” for them, with the original AVO and RS inspiration. Think of Mexico, 1600 rupees, this type of things. In a modern context, this will mean all the classic accompanying experience you want without continuing completely like the last MST building. “A pure similar driving experience at an effective price in terms of cost,” they believe. Which looks good is a good curse.

Like all the previous MK1S and MK2S, the new Bodyshell sport will be used and new cars registered in the United Kingdom; The right and left drive will be available. Energy comes from a 2.0 -liter capacity of four cylinders (MST has not said any one yet), with Jenvey and 180 hp. Less than hot 200 hp 2.5 Duratecs, 230 hp 2.0 liters BDGs and Millington Madness, if much enough to move this small old car. A five -speed guide, Atlas and ATB DIFF.

The remainder of the structure repair is as it might be expected from one of the slightly stretching on the MST format: it’s all good things, not just as extreme as the highest models. So MK1 gets the so -called “Group 1 Susperance”, with modified sporty and dual CAM Arb, as well as four -column Eagles.

It is all good and good. But it is possible that the most exciting part of the MK1 SPORTS package is the appearance, with lines, “correct body colors”, wheels in the front and four copies with the front arches. You can have minailats if you really have, but the offers are so accompanying that it is difficult to imagine changing something. The interior will be two seats, with storing behind them.

MST plans to make 25 of these MK1 sports, which looks like a very achieved number, before building the same number of MK2 versions. The cost will be from 74500 pounds in addition to the value -added tax – so let’s call it 90 thousand pounds. A dangerous amount of money, certainly, although Restomod on the planet (or whatever it should be called MST cars already), anything is rarely available for less than six numbers. Applications are now accepted with a deposit of 6 thousand pounds, with production starting next year.
