Cheers for the replys guys and girls. I would prefer a MK2 as ideally it will (hopefully) end up as my daily where as the wife prefers the look of a MK1 and as there is only 1 boss in our house it will depend on what the daughter prefers (although i'm sure that will change when the sons old enough!)

Might be as the neighbour had a Mk2 RS and the person behind us had a Mk2 mexico,i was about 10 or 11 and just remember there being a lot of Mk2's around at that time (Mid 80's) Will have to keep looking around (although need to sell the camper 1st)

As i'm looking to sell my VW camper around August time (going away in it 1st as holiday booked) i've started thinking about a replacement toy. Always liked a MK2 escort (or a Mk3 capri) so have started looking through this forum / ebay (anywhere else?) for a rough pricing guide and have noticed that MK2's seem to be more expensive than MK1's, why is this? Is the MK2 that much better (i know this might cause an argument but.....) I have a toy budget of £2.5k ('ish) to play with and thought this would get me a base model road car but apperently not yet looking around it seems that i could proabaly get a MK1 for this price. Should i be looking more at a project for my budget? Is my budget to low? Maybe i should settle (?) for a capri instead?

36, full no claims, no points etc etc Have started looking (mainly ebay) for price ideas but where the best places to look?

Hi guys and girls, thought i should introduce myself, after 3 years of owning a 1969 VW bay window campervan (which i will hopefully be selling around august time - we have a holiday booked in the camper and cant really sell it before this ) i have decided its time for a new challenge. Before this (and whilst owning) i have owned 6 classic minis but being 6ft and 14stone ( ) and with 2 small kids a mini is just to small. Always had a fancy for either a MK2 escort or a MK3 capri and on the sale of the van this is what i'm looking at (a few bills to pay off first) although looking at the prices of MK2 its more likely to be a capri, Anyway i should have a budget of about £2.5k to play with, this is just to purchase the car, play money is found when and if. What can i expect for this sort of budget? Ideally i would like the car to be a daily driver but can you get everyday insurance or does it have to be on classic? Any other sites i should be checking out (apart from this one of course )
