  • AVO Western Day 2015

    AVO Western Day 2015

    A beautiful day was had on the North Wales Coadt in the grounds of Bodelwyddan Castle....

    Sadly only 4 AVO cars turned up after a 5th had to pull out.

    However, sometimes less is more and they stole the show. They were at the front of the rest of the North Wales Classic Fords making a display of 42 cars that were of fantastic quality....

    Hope you like the pics....

  • AVO Southern Day 2015

    AVO Southern Day 2015

    A good selection of AVO cars made up our stand at this year's Uxbridge Show with Adrian Shimmon's very tidy Olympic Blue RS2000 being voted best car on the stand.

    There were also a few high quality AVO cars on other stands including a freshly restored Maize RS1600 having it's first outing. Hopefully owner Derek will be rejoining the club shortly.

    A few pictures from the day.

    Escort Twin-Cam, AVO's Ancestor

    The 110bhp Lotus-powered Escort Twin Cam was conceived and developed by Ford's Boreham based competitions department during 1967 and unleashed on an unsuspecting public during January 1968. It went on to achieve many international race and rally victories during its short production life. The car's first international win was on the 1968 Circuit of Ireland Rally when driven by a certain Roger Albert Clark. ...

  • Ford Escort 1300E

    Ford Escort 1300E

    Ford released the 1600E Cortina late during 1967, which was quickly
    followed by the Corsair 2000E and the Capri 3000E. It's not surprising
    that Ford decided to launch a MK1 Escort carrying the coveted "E" badge.

    Based on the Mk1 Escort body shell, but with the 1300 Sport engine, the 1300E variant was launched in 1973.This model was very well equipped, external differences included rectangular headlamps and auxiliary lights, radial tyres, wider wheels with chun

    Ford Escort Mexico

    The Ford Escort Mexico was
    introduced to the world in November 1970 and was so named because of Ford Motor
    Company's victory in the World Cup Rally.

    This rally started in London on 19th April 1970 and finished some 16,000 miles later in Mexico. Originally Ford intended to use Escorts with the Twin Cam or BDA engine, but after reconnaissance work it was decided that high speeds and high power were less important than reliability and ease...

    Ford Escort RS2000

    The escort RS2000 was the last car to be introduced to the AVO production range, introduced in the June of 1973. The car fitted nicely into the AVO range with its performance almost comparable to the complex RS1600, but with the reliability and ease of maintenance as the Mexico. The original name for the car was to be the "Puma", but it was decided to keep with the RS tradition and so it was re-named the RS2000. ...
