If you know of any £25k's houses let me know

I quite like it, it not a motorsport but just a Standard Esc Cos which is a rarity in its self

IIRC it was sold last year, but maybe not after seeing that advert

No offense mate but do you know much about the price of Cosworths, there are more expensive ones than that about and the small turbo's cost that new back in 95/96 so why would people laugh, people pay 30k for much higher mileage RS500's than that and look at the prices of some of the mk 1 and 2 RS Escorts now

Lovely car, maybe over-priced but I don't get why they make a big deal on this:

TECHNICAL SPEC :
Perfectly standard car with the unique registration of P1 COS (not inc in price)

Why bother highlighting the plate if it's not even included.

WRONG WRONG WRONG ALPS

I have had a 86 3dr cos with no electric windows or central locking
and that was available from FORD like that

escort cosworths without electric windows or sunroofs
are better imo,mine has heated seats and windscreen great
but they never get used just like the hole in the roof

does anybody pay list price for a top of the range new ford
well do they???????????

i try and knock the price down on a 1 pound bag of chips
never mind a 25 grand escort
