Ok, I get the classic Escort thing, very nice, but its still an old Escort at the end of the day, I think people are getting carried away, 30 grand buys something a lot more interesting than an Escort !

Just found this
1973 Ford Escort RS Mexico MkI For Sale £3,700 ono
So maybe not the 20-30K i was expecting lol, still wouldn't mind it though.

I actually HAD a '74 one, the yellow one with smaller stripes and "Mexico" on the wings. It had the full rally lights (surprise, to those who have read any of my posts), a pair of Super Oscars and a pair of oscar fogs crossed for cornering.
Lovely cars.
Oh, and the underbonnet exhaust?
Most folk removed it and put polished "trumpets" in place with mesh filters..........just to hear the intake roar
That old Lotus chain driven twin cam was a LOVELY engine.
If your mum wants to sell and you don't want it, can I have first refusal?

Have you no soul? The ORIGINAL successful rally car. Forget Minis, forget Fiats, Saabs, Lancia, remember the Escorts that RULED rallying for years

I can think of worse ways but I do think you have a point, I remember when you couldnt give MK1 Escorts away, I have a big soft spot for these old school Fords but not one that could justify 30 grand on one, ten maybe for a minter, although they were legendary rally cars they werent groundbreaking in the way of the Quattro.
I cant get that excited about a chassis number and an extra camshaft to make the leap to it being worth 30 grand, I can get excited about a sorted YB engined one though.

Thanks Alcazar, thats the one ! and she still has the RSOC AVO membership, strange considering it hasn't moved for so long.
