I want one

My current escos is a pig to drive on the road now as its setup for the track so i really would like another one that i can drive

It would have to be Totaly Standard, Small turbo model, in jewl voilet or dark abuergine with less than 70K on the clock ohh and right hand drive

anyone know if there is any such car out there lealone for sale?

Paul R find me one and ile even buy another set of monte rims from you for it

Dark Abuergine with Gold 18" Monte's

paul16v

You wont find a monte in abuergine they only did them in jewel violet, black and mallard and there isnt many small turbos about either bud, ive just bought wenny's jewel voilet 1 off him, can wait to get out and about in it.

*edit*

Not a small turbo but, fits the bill apart from that 33k miles!

Gatecrasher

you can dream tho cant you

i seen that post about wennys car very lucky man lovely car what are your plans with it?

so if the Abuergine is out the window its a jewel violet small turbo im after, i would have a black one if it was ST and low millage but i allready have a mallard green escos and wouldnt want 2 of the same car in the same color

Right hand drive, jewel violet, Small Turbo, less than 70K Miles anyone?

Rippers

Mate you want rarity, out of the 200 Montes there where about 28 in Jewel Violet and about 6 in ST version so I'd guess there was only about 3 or 4 cars made in that spec
The one posted above is mint I'll keep my eye's open thou

ps I've seen ST Monte's but never actually seen a ST Monte for sale

Gatecrasher

yes i do

one of 3 do you know the 3? who owns them ect how many miles they have done ect?

no point me holding out if the 3 you have spoke of have loads of miles or a in shit shape

how many ST where there and in what colors? i know you like to talk about them let go show me the geek tell me all there is to know! entice me seduce me tease me...

paul16v

Cheers bud, ill be taxing it the 1st of april and get it set up its got the hybrid t34 he took off his mk3 and on greens etc will be happy with it running about 330-350 its just had a new engine in it after he blew it up 2 years ago and its been sat in the unit ever since lol









Just cant wait to get out and about in it now!

Hope you can find what your looking for.

Gatecrasher

Beutifull car mate hope it makes you happy

Gatecrasher

looking at you car wenny must have been mad, what did you give for it in the end? PM if you dont want it made public?



would you consider putting standard lights "front and back" and a set of monte wheels on it or are you happy with how it looks? dont get me wrong it looks fantastic i just want one that looks totaly original now

Rippers

The only ST Montes I know of are

Number 077 Mallard Green which is in Malta

Number 080 Jewel Violet never seen a pic thou

185 Jewel Violet which is concours mint IIRC


190 Mallard Green which is LHD and also not a Monte but a even rarier Martini

So theres two others which might be LHD and maybe not even Jewel Violet.. and the number of ST Montes is rumoured at 6 so there maybe not be anymore at all

paul16v

I gave him 17k for it, its only done 66k full history, fresh engine and turbo has only done about 2k miles since he got it built, he put the ap 6 pots, coilovers and the 18" comps all on brand new less than 500 miles ago so i dont think did too badly out of it, only stipulation was i gave him 1st refusal when i come to sell it lol

Gatecrasher

who owns number 80 paul how do you know about this car?

Paul16V you got a nice car whatever way you look at it mate doesnt look like im going to get what i wanted

Rippers

I'm not sure who owns it TBH You could try asking on the RSOC as he did regional group days IIRC

Gatecrasher

Hi Stoo,

i think trying to have a track car and road car as one is silly, i am gutted as i love my escos but need a road car that i can enjoy

i was driving home from Norwich the other afternoon / night "last saterday" and on the M25 amoung all the cars i see 3 cosworths!

first on flew past me like a rocket as i was comming on by the M11 white Saph didnt see much more tha that

the second one was a grey spah, 4 up went past then slow down to look at the escos on the trailer they all give me the thumbs up and turned off on the A127

and last up was a MINT lookng megenta Saph on the darford bridge, it was gleaming, he was in the fast lane i was in the slow lane "5 lanes" so no way he could of see me but when your doing 60mph you dont miss much lol

anyway all of them looked as if they was really enjoying there cars and i was gutted that i couldnt have a bit of fun with them

i have been toying with the idea of getting an M3 E46 or an evo 8 as a daily drive and for a bit of fun and comfort but whe i was ypunger i used to say to people all thetime you want an escos, power, comfort, 4wd what more could you want!!

suppose having an escos made me forget that and at the end of the day aslong as i get a mint one and look after it and dont start asking to much of it it shoukd be as reliable as any M3 or Evo

when you say if you change your criteria let me know..

why what do you have to offer?

Gatecrasher

thanks mate will do

Stoo

An under 25k minty mint white BT, 6 pots, Coilovers, 18" Azev A's, AP 6 Pots, Leather ect ect

Stoo

Ap's are so good I had to mention them twice lol

Gatecrasher

MATCOS

iTrader: (1)

It's weird how some of us now want standard looking Escorts-good choice Ben, I want a Monte as a daily driver and If I had one I would run it on the standard 16's as I think it looks stunning

Good luck in your search mate, as I said to you when we met, seeing an Escos used as a daily driver is soo cool, they look amazing in amongst the 'normal' traffic.

M16NTE

Stoo

How much stoo,bt or st ?

redrsmk5

people wanting small turbos eh...what is the world coming too!

Ben your similar to me in some ways, i love my car super clean and look after it regardless of cost to use on good dry sunny days and when i use it i do use it hard! but then i go to track days and think god how much would i love to get on there with my car but i would never do it.

Hope you find one mate, its really nice to see such passion about these cars today.

AJC

iTrader: (6)

martin, track it!!!!

Stoo

Kev, I've PM'd you mate to save cluttering Bens post. Sorry Ben..

Gatecrasher

Stoo By you Chatting away it keeps the topic at the top of the room

someone may see what my first post was and know of a ST Monte and then post up

so please feel free to post as much here as you want

not to botherd about the color now i just want a ST Monte now

Vic

what makes your Escort so undriveable everyday? The suspension or engine spec?

Steve the Plumber

iTrader: (11)

Are you sure you cant be tempted for a big turbo model?.

Gatecrasher

Hi Vic, my car has a GrpA T34 with cut back blades and .63 exhaust housing to run big boost but the bad part is it makes it laggy as fuck "the reason for wanting a Small turbo" as well as running my suspention geometry at 3 Degrees Negative Camber with 2ML Toe In and 3 Degrees 30 Caster

Also Grp A Diff mount on the rear and straight cut box with a fully stripped out car isnt sometimes the nicest on 3+ hours journeys

Sorry steve would probebly settle for a non monte ST if i dont find one

andysrs

Did someone say MONTE...........Id love a jewel violet

bpspa

iTrader: (1)

to answer one of your original questions, I have an aubergine ST with 51k on the clock, I'm sure there are more out there, I am a little biased but its a cracking colour

Gatecrasher

please may i see some picks
