Default buying advice!

right i have recently killed my death trap rep-mobile and have decided i miss my old skool fords, so once more its time i start buying thing is i wouldnt have a clue no more

i have owned mk 1 + 2`s and a capri but im talking the days when i paid around 700 for each running,

now i know the values have increased with rarity and being an available rally classic but i was just wondering were is the most sensible place to buy and what sort of prices am i looking at (want to avoid the con artists and inflative prices of ebay)

Take a look in the back of Classic Ford magazine - WHSmith stock it, as well as the odd petrol station.

I know they're not the most desirable car but seriously look at a good 4 door Mk1 Escort - cheap and very, very tunable.
Also, I think the next car to shoot up in value will be the Mk1 Sierra or Mk3 Escorts ie XR3 carb jobbies...

Keep it old skool!

Shop around and you can still by old school Fords in near mint condition, these days wont last much longer though.
