Well worth the money

Jon!

HUGE debate on passionford as to whether this is worth the money. You couldn't build one for that, but on the flipside you could have an RS500 AND an escos for that dollar. Beautiful car, and very, very fast. Even the owner has admitted he has bumped the price a bit...........

Gibbo's replacement for the mustang?

so who wants to buy my family off me? Includes a hot 18 year old niece

I recon he will get about £20 for it. Which is a shame

but you never get your money back on modified cars normally.

That looks like a lovely car, but why sell after spending so much time / effort

You'll never get the invested money back

I would not personally buy that but I think that is a really nice colour

Why would you want to go so fast in a Escort and a Escort costing you £35k. :confused:

1CE · 10 Jul 2007 at 19:03

imagine pulling up at the lights in one of them, the look on the others face would be priceless!

Lovely car, but I've always hated black numberplates on mk2 Escorts, they are the wrong period for them and should only been seen on mk1s. Nearly as bad as psuedo-German plates.

I want your babies. And I agree with you also

These escorts are cool, they're not the crappy mk4/5's you see in council estates today. This is OLD S KOOL

Jon Frost · 10 Jul 2007 at 21:15

If it were a white mkIV drop top with TSW Venoms and cossie-rep bumpers you might have been nearly right.

But it isn't.

You lose.

PS: I'd quite like a white mkIV drop top...on ronal turbos...

Does look very nice, my first car, my dads car was a MK2 Escort 1.3GL with wait for - twin weber carbs

Is it just the pics or does the colour not match on some panels?

Even after 35k youd still be left with a ford escort, which is always a bit of a downer- put it this way, i would prefer to spend 35k elsewhere.
