Test drive it and then buy a poster of it, will be more reliable

Present company accepted, I would never buy a classic from a body shop.

What's the ncap on those

Second one

Matt, stop smoking that wacky backy, it's doing weird things to your mind

I know my way around old fords though. Had loads of them in the past. Simple to run and easy to fix. My cousin had one of these years ago. It was great.

N cap, what's n cap.

I agree the second one would be one of the first purchases I'd make if I won the Euro Lottery tonight.

There's a nice mk1 cortina on there too. Out of my price range though. Might have sold the bm so was just thinking about getting something for a laugh for a while and then sell it on in a few months.

Ah the granada herse. Nice

Not my thing, but I can see the temptation for a mkI, but a mk4, no sorry, they were rubbish in their day, and i'm sure they have not got better with age.

Escorts, Capri's, Anglia's now we'd be talking

I had a 1980 v reg 2.0 gl when I was a lad. One of the best cars I owned despite it`s size the handling was excellent. Cheap to run. Oh and you could always tell er indoors it`s a family car.
Go on you know you want to.

I am tempted. Would need a set of 48's and kent cam though.

He does say in the ad the carbs might need setting. So it might have a pair of something on there already. Unless it`s a misprint.
Front engine Rear wheel drive

Matt,

This would be ideal for detailing :-

FORD ESCORT VAN V6 ST 2500 (51) - Great Spec on eBay (end time 06-Dec-09 22:47:16 GMT)

V4JDMSTi

Nice. Look like genuine Esc Cos rims too. Bet it'd be fun on a track day too.

Nate

I used to have one of these :-

mk2 escort van very clean dundee Dundee used cars for sale

And would love another

Arkwright

iTrader: (3)

Me finks the carbs are on the wrong side for a 2 litre. But there again maybe it`s the way I`m looking at it. Could be a massive overbore/restroke on a crossflow LOL.

V4JDMSTi

iTrader: (2)

I thought it was a crossflow as well which was a 1760 at most bored out wasn't it?

V4JDMSTi

Looks very nice though.

had a white mk3 with rs turbo lump in back in 1991

would any of you have a Jag? looked at a couple of supercharged XJR's and a couple of S type V8's

would love either in black

Arkwright

iTrader: (3)

I believe 1750 was the biggest cc safely achievable on a crossflow and then it had to be a 711m block or it would`nt last.
Could be wrong I`m delving a long way back in my memory which is normally only good for a few minutes back in time ask er indoors. LOL

iTrader: (3)

Your first car was a mk4, then you must be a young pup. My first motor was an Austin 1300 with a MG 1275 lump in it and the speedo was a single orange strip which moved from left to right LOL Oh yes and Hydrolastic suspension
Oh god I`m getting old
Next one was a MK1 escort

TomR555

iTrader: (1)

love mk1's & 2's
I loved my yellow mk2 1600 sport

I swapped in my Mk5 cortina for a Mk2 Harrier were`nt very powerful but great fun especially in the snow.

I had a Mini with this excuse for suspension. The previous owner had grounded it & scraped the pipe just enough for it to slowly lose pressure. So every month it went limp on me & one side of the car would be dragging on the ground. Not cheap to get refilled either. We fitted a new pipe by bending it round the sub-frame as if we had removed it it would have fallen apart.

i think the Austin princess was the worst example of a car with Hydrospastic suspension. Bought one cheap once to do up and sell on, the more I looked at it the more I couldn`t bring myself to inflict it on someone in a roadworthy condition. Just scrapped it in the end.

PMSL, my dad had an 'MG' 1300 before I was born, I have only seen it in pictures.
