This is one top car... so now my cozzy is for sale... (this is not a for sale add)..

so if anyone wants a mint escos

Matt...

 

Interesting car not sure I'd sell the Escort for it though, but fair play mate

 

Wow, nice car

 

as above sorry mate

 

Looks and sounds nice from the spec sheet but 10.5k sounds a lot to me for that car

 

£10,500 Seems steep, but fair play

 

thats some car, not sure if i would sell the escort for it but it's your car.

 

Nice car, Your cossie is a better car tho

 

What a motor. Does it really accellerate like that
or does the speedo need re-calibriating

 

As above,interesting car,but big price tag,and its deffo no Esc Cos

 

might be worth that money now, with the fresh engine etc, but when you come to sell it in a year or two, you will only get half back probably.


providing that doesnt bother you though, COOL car

 

after driving this there is no way i would want another cossie!!! I know it sounds harsh but fuck me this thing is quick .. I have had 12 205's and to be honest I think I am missin them (even though the mrs has a nice 200bhp n/a one, that I get to thrash about!)..
any way each to there own i suppose I think it is worth the money as the last one of these I saw for sale was no where near this spec (it was a standard engine) and that was for sale for £26k ..
Should be out on track in it at Donny show, so that will be a good laugh

Keep the comments coming

 

awesome machine, but at the risk of sounding like a parrot that is overpriced!

 

Look at the price of a mint 2 owner L reg' 205 1.9 GTI
Then look at the price of a T16 engine (if you can find one!! rare as fook)
GTI 6 gearbox
BTC diff
and your at about 10k already!!!

probably if you drove it you could justify it ??

 

Lovely car mate.

 

well yeah in parts it may be worth it, but as a complete car 5-6k max imo.

cossie powered 4x4 306 went for less!

dont get me wrong tho, fair play if you think its worth it - no one elses opinion matters except urs

 

Nice car, I have been out in it and it is quick!


Its got my old turbo on it too I am fiiting a T34 to my T16

 

Nice car mate but the escort gets my vote first

 

Fook what everyone else thinks, its your money chap, and i think its an awesome bit of kit

 

Cheers pal

I think there are less than 10 of these engines in 205's in this country!!

 

I`d love something like that myself as a track car i bet there want be much passing you

 

i do like it, but wouldnt sell a cossie for it. At the end of the day, it's STILL fwd.

 

i have been in this car, my mate Jamie owned it.and fook me it is staggeringly fast!!! will eat up a LOT of cars on track.

it's ran a 12.2 qtr with less power than it has now too i believe


enjoy it

 

keep the escort mate the french thing will be worth not alot in a few years but the cozzy will hold its money

andy

 

Jesus! bit quick then! i just meant for mucking about like drifting etc. Bet its a rocket in a straight line though

 

It's a nice car, saw it on ebay the other day but it made no where near 10.5k

Surely you could just build your own turbo charged mi-16 engine?

 

you would spend thousands doing that properly too, and it would have even less reasale value.

 

Fair enough. Wasnt sure how much difference it would make.

Personally if I was going to spend that much money on a 205 i'd wait until I could afford a proper T-16 205

Bet that car flies around a track though. Not long now until I can phone justgti's and get them to start searching for a 205 for me

 

you said youd never have another cossie can i ask 1 question whats the spec of your small turbo escort cossie ?

 

FOr a short moment I though it was true 205T16...shame it isn't

 

i think you are going to have a lot of fun in that

 

You mean one like this

http://www.carclassic.com/stock.asp?StockID=102863

 

89XR2 exactly, Grp.B homologation special.


There was one for sale some time ago that was driven by some bird as daily trash around in Paris She sold it because it was to unconfortable.. LOL

 

theres one up here and that goes well too . our mate raced it in his P1 which is a bit faster than a stage 3 cossie and it totally distoryed him

 

touch of class mate, will surprise quite a few!

 

its a PUG

 

so

 

and a ford is so much better

 

In a word..............

 

The thing is, most of us on this site are guilty of spending far too much money on cars that aren't that great,my car probably owes me near £10k now and i've only had it 6 months or so,

Jamie did exactly the same with this pug (although on a slightly larger scale) and he's got a truely awesome car for it.

It accelerates like a bastard

it is really an awesome weapon, and i for one was gonna beg for a drive round track this year,too late now

people all want different things,and i guarantee if anyone were to have a ride in this pug,they'd see exactly why someone wants to pay good money for it
