1977 Ford Escort RS2000 at Ipswich Town Football Club

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]On Thursday 3rd August we took delivery of an old friend once again.

We part restored our 1977 Ford Escort RS2000 back in 2015 and since then she has spent her time in Staffordshire.

We received a phone call last month from the owner who was looking to sell her due to ‘house extension’ commitments.

As we say to all of our customers, if and when the time comes you wish to sell your beloved vehicles we are always just a phone call away. And that’s exactly what Iain did.

Now, our 1977 Ford Escort RS2000 returns; with very little work to be carried out our next job was to find a suitable Suffolk location for the photo-shoot.

With Jason from Sugar and Spice Photography booked up for a next day shoot we managed to speak to Dan Palfrey, Marketing & Public Relations Officer at Ipswich Town Football Club who kindly allowed us to shoot outside the Sir Bobby Robson stand.

What better place to shoot our iconic 1977 RS2000 than outside 1977/1978 FA Cup Winners Ipswich Town Football Club, right here on our doorstep.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_gallery type=”image_grid” images=”14672,14673,14674,14675,14676,14677,14678,14679,14680,14681,14682,14683,14684,14685,14686,14687,14688,14689,14690,14691,14692,14693,14694,14695,14696,14697,14698,14699,14700,14701,14702,14703,14704,14705,14706,14707,14708,14709,14710,14711,14712,14713,14714,14715,14716,14717,14718,14719,14720,14721,14722,14723,14724,14725,14726,14727,14728,14729,14730,14731,14732,14733,14734,14735,14736,14737,14738,14739,14740,14741,14742,14743,14744,14745,14746,14747,14748,14749″][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Behind the scenes at today’s RS2000 photoshoot…

Ordinarily we draft in the skills of one of Suffolk’s finest photographers to carry out the infamous completion photo shoots. Once our team of technicians have worked their magic on the cars our final task is for Jason at Sugar and Spice Photography to complete the project with a full professional shoot.

This one is a little different. The work required on our 1977 Ford Escort RS2000 is so minimal we have decided to jump on the shoot straight away and carry out the works afterwards.

Here we are behind the scenes of today’s shoot; set in 1977, however, we have introduced a bit of the new to today’s shoot…but for very good reasons, as will become evident when the full shoot images are ready.

A famous Suffolk landmark that very much enjoyed the 1977 and 1978 years, here we are outside the Sir Bobby Robson stand at Portman Road, home of Ipswich Town Football Club, winners of the FA Cup in the 1977/78 season.
