Just thinking about it really....think there are more escorts left myself, but i see a lot more 3 doors than escorts about.

Really? I thought ford only made 2500 large turbo models so you're saying they made over 4500 small turbo ones?

if you think about it - big turbos on J and K plates, small turbos on L, M, N, P.
twice the length of production time hence nearly twice as many made.

were they actually made on L and M plate - or just registered a year or so after (cos they coudn't sell them with the spiraling insurance costs)....? i thought once the first 2500 were made they went to the small one anyway..?
