I am due to be getting some money very shortly and i am looking to buy an Escort Cosworth.

I am not looking for a huge spec one were every component is pushed to within an inch of its life and could break at any point....lol.....as i will be looking to use it to drive to work every day...i travel about 25 miles in total so not major motorway miles.
It will be looked after and serviced well maintained, but it got me thinking when they were made surely Ford didnt say you cant really drive them everyday .

fuel wont be a problem before anyone asks as the Jag currently does about 9-10 mpg

Look forward to peoples response
