e’ve been won over by an ‘eighties Ford this month. We’ve all gone a bit Sierra mental
as we now own a tidy 4x4. We’re doing the Euro Rally this August (www.eurorallytours.
co.uk) and this motor is going to be our mule. It’s an awesome 2000-mile adventure
through some of the most beautiful areas of Western Europe. There are plenty of fast
alpine roads and even a stop off at the Nurburgring so we wanted to make sure that
we were taking part in something that wouldn’t disgrace itself. As lead sponsors it’s an event that we’re
very proud to be a part of and you’ll be hearing an awful lot more about it in the magazine and online as
the year continues. You need to come and join us too! We’ve got some places left but you need to hurry
and pay your deposit soon to avoid disappointment.
In this, the first issue of 2015, we have the usual variety of cool old cars that we know you all pick up
this magazine to see. Where else could you read about a rally-prepared Mk1 Escort alongside a tuned
Lada! If you’re new to Retro Cars, then this is par for the course and you should really grab a subscription
(see page 84) to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun.
If unusual Japanese cars are your thing then our Logbook article this month has to be your bag. It’s a
Honda Civic… nothing unusual about that you would think well there’s an awful lot about this one that
sets it apart. For a start it’s fitted with an Integra engine and it’s had an entirely custom suspension setup
installed, not to mention a Mugen exhaust and Rota rims (see page 6).
We like to cover all niches here at RC and interest in Eastern European models (no not that kind!) is
about as niche as it gets. The Lada brand has always been a bit of a joke over here but there are some
devoted fans in former communist countries, as we discover this month with a very tasty Hungarian Lada
that’s been given a taste of the US and Japanese performance market, trust us… it works! (See page 26).
Let’s not forget the home-grown favourites from Ford. There’s a couple of Dagenham’s finest in
this issue that are punching above their weight in performance terms. Once we first heard Eric Falce’s
Fiesta at our summer track evening last year, we knew we had to find out more. It’s a stunning car
that really flies, and best of all, the owner is a pensioner! Priceless… (see page 18). Next up is a
money-no-object Mk1 Escort rally car build with a family twist. This is a serious machine without the
creature comforts of its lesser siblings, but it’s still in near daily use (see page 40).
All this in addition to our usual favourites including; Datafile (Porsche 924), Projects; Cavalier 4x4
& Sierra XR4x4, Retro Lifestyle and Readers’ Rides.

FEATURES
006 LOGBOOK: HONDA CIVIC S
With a screaming 246bhp B18C engine transplant from
a DC2 Honda Integra under the bonnet, this rare 1983
Civic S is a world away from its humble beginnings…
018 FORD FIESTA ZETEC
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? Well, no, it’s obviously a Fiesta.
But it’s a pretty damned naughty one… That was pretty
much our impression when we were first in the presence
of Eric Falce’s earth-shattering little Fiesta plaything.

026 WHOLE LADA LOVE
Eastern Europe’s solution to getting the populous
mobile – the Lada - isn’t often the focus of a tuner’s
attention but when you live in Hungary, there isn’t a lot
of choice… The results if done correctly can be superb.
032 MODDER’S GUIDE… PORSCHE 924
Porsche’s runt of the litter has finally stood up to its
bigger brothers and is now being taken seriously. But
it still can’t escape the inevitable… it’s not that quick.
Fear not though, help is at hand.
040 FORD ESCORT MK1
Mark Sludds spent seven years toiling over his
exhaustive Mk1 Escort Mexico restoration project, only
for the finished Ford to go up in flames within weeks
of completion...
056 AVENGERS ASSEMBLED
Craig Hipkiss is someone who appreciates the
unappreciated – a lifelong petrolhead, Craig can count
metal as varied as a Rolls-Royce and a Ford among the
models he’s owned but it’s the Hillman Avenger that’s
always been special to him.
