these posts end up people sticking up for either type.

same with other special cars the original escort cosworth is the purest one to have as its what the rally cars are based on,if you want poofy colours and shopping car usability get the later small turbo.

i'd rather have a straight low or sensible miler with proper history and rust free of either type.
or get a converted one,Gaz M's is a belter with big turbo conversion and been mag featured.
dans is a nice car too and i once followed it over 140 miles to a show and it never missed a beat.
