THANKS all!!

Thank you for the reply Mike - what a star, it's very helpful! You are spot on with the whole eBay thing - any seller would see me coming a mile off so it's nice to know I can get some honest advice from the experts. Well I think he would be made up with a standard 4 door mk2 if this is more realistic for me. Actually he would be happy with something just in the garage which he could tinker with every day and do up slowly - but not a massive project as he ain't a mechanic. Price wise I'm sure he mentioned around 8k when dreaming about it but I was hoping for <5k. Ruby

Hi All, just joined in the hope somebody could give me some pointers . My Dad has a milestone birthday coming up next year and I would love nothing more than to be able to get him a escort mk 1 or 2 as it has been his lifelong dream to own own one, but always spent his small amount of money on his family. Where do i start? I need something which is mechanically sound but aesthetically needs repairing as Dad could do this himself. Price range ??? I've seen prices from 1500 to 25k so I need an idea of the current value. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks in advance Ruby
