Oldbie Looking to build a Fast road Mk2 escort

[vicarofstcyrus]

Hello,

Been away from here for a while but decided to get back and see what cars were for sale Mk1 & Mk2 .....Not much for sale? i see since prices have started to rise i guess that everyone is tucking them away until they are ready to retire....

Have seen that  Mk2 SA imports have been out there for sale not sure if i want to go that route but since the stock of good UK cars is pretty low it might be an option i have to consider, seen 16 sport shells starting around the £6800 mark, i would of preferred a steel wing Mk1 escort but try to find anything!!! Anything that is half decent or half done seams to go quite quickly and fetch Big Money.....

Looks like the Mk2 route is the way to go unless there is anything out there anyone wants to share?

Other than trawling ebay which has not very much to offer where else on the net is there to look for Mk1 or mk2 escort stock.

 

TIA 

T.Vicar.

Welcome to OSF,

You're right, prices have sky rocketed in recent years. Don't be put off by South African and Australian imports, just don't be under the illusion that they will be completely rust free. Also be aware that if they're not already registered in the UK, South African cars are harder to get through the registration process than Australian ones.
