The only Escort I would buy is a Mk3 RS Turbo in white. Lovely cars, and before they lost the plot with the superdull Mk4.

Nah, buy a mint MkII and then cut it up as a donor car for a nice kit. Watch the Ford loonies cry.


yeah, a mexico or RS would be sweet for that ;)

My mum had an Escort Cab Ghia when I was 17.

Managed to borrow it a coulpe of times and the looks you get as a 17 yo in a Escort cab at the time were pretty funny :)

Although possibly reasonable motors aren't the Escort /Sierra RSs the Konas of the car world? They command quite high prices despite the fact you could probably get a genuine performace car for less.

This thread gets better.

Jon - buy the Escort and a Cinder Cone and bring both to the Turkey Twizzler :LOL:

you mean point and laugh for paying over the odds for a car when you only use the axle that lacks discs but has plenty of whine , a steering column and rack that is over 3 turns lock to lock , a xflow that needs a complete strip down or a pinto thats over weight , not to mention the leaking m16 calipers or tired 4 speed :LOL:

you just end up with a ropey 80s locost :LOL: even the sierra based cars are getting long in the tooth now everyone is using the hayabusa engine :LOL:

Absolutely, that is all they are good for!

Mate used to have a car sticker that said 'I'd rather eat worms than eat a Ford' - Class!

Although saying that, there is something soooo sadly cool about a Focus ST220 thingy in Asbo orange...
