You're bias Dave. We all know orange is the best colour 🤣

Each to their own Mark but I’m telling you, beige is the new fashion now. Ask Andrea.

I like that, good to be different,.

If the stars aligned, a MK2 RS2000 is probably the only other Ford Classic I'd sell the Mex to get....

I wanted an RS but out of reach sadly.

Yep, prices are mad these days, I miss the days when the cars were relatively cheap and affordable to the average fella.

I used to love the excitement of buying Autotrader and spending hours looking at MK2 Mexico’s and RS’s between 800-2,000! 
 

How didn’t we know? 🤦‍♂️

I remember back in 1986 looking at a couple of Daytona yellow Mk1 Mexico’s, one was £800 and the other £1200, my dad advised me to buy the cheaper one as I shouldn’t spend so much money on an Escort, it turn out to be more rotten than it looked, I did see the other one about around a year later and it still looked immaculate!

Incidentally, I sold mine for £400 as a restoration project.

 I also remember buying the Exchange & Mart and drooling over the cars for 2k plus that were out of my price range!

400 🤣 we’ve all been there. We would all be millionaires now if we’d kept them. 
 

I sold this for a grand, well mum did. I was shipped off to Bosnia on recon. When I came back 2 years later it was gone! Here it is washed in our council  cul-de-sac, I never saw it again. 
 

When I asked her, the neighbours complained love, so I sold it 🫨. 
RIP mum I’m still fuming with you 🤣

Yep, hindsight is a wonderful thing hey😢
