pnwrs2000 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Hi, I've not been on here for a while but have recently been getting an OSF itch in the shape of a two door mk1 escort or failing that a mk2. The problem being though that they seem to have gone mental in price ! What's sort of budget should I be looking at for a nice useable car that's taxed and tested and doesn't need a full restoration - maybe just odds and sods as a rolling project sort of thing. Cheers in advance. Darren
PaulMags Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 prices are all over the place at the mo you just have to keep looking on ebay.i have seem some good cars going recentliy for good prices.
pnwrs2000 Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Posted February 10, 2014 They do seem to be all over the place. There is a green arched mk2 with a YB in it on ebay at the moment (for some reason I cant copy the link across) and its up for £5.5k. Ok, it isn't what im after as id prefer a mk1 and it be NA but it does seem very cheap compared to others
XjamesX Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Just looked at one your on about, that price can't be right, maybe he meant to put 15.5k. Only up road from me as well http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-MK2-ESCORT-/221371617623?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item338ac6d157

XjamesX Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 Yeah that would have literally been the best buy ever at that price, the 15.5k probably would have been more realistic
legendlives Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 This one has just come up for sale here in NZ. Looks mint, and the owner is looking for around £8,500 1
luckyjim Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 anyone know what those seats are in the nz car pictured? I wouldn't mind a pair of those! I am glad I bought my escort when it was (relatively) cheap as the current prices put them out of the reach of many people,and parts prices have gone the same way. I saw a pair of rolltops go for £1600 on ebay last week.
pnwrs2000 Posted February 11, 2014 Author Report Posted February 11, 2014 They look like old ish Porsche or maybe VW seats to me
