I was quoted the following off direct line online a month ago.

Escort Cosworth
No mods
Motor legal, guaranted hire car, protected ncb
23 y.o, 5 years ncb, 0 points / claims/ accidents/ convictions
£625 (give or take a few pence).

Thought that was realy good and has put it as a contender for my next car.

Focus RS was £482, Focus ST was £500, Escort RS Turbo was £330 and my Mondeo is £410.
