Hi all, all the mk2's I know about are Gp4 rally car style, how much do nice mk2 RS 2000 road cars go for, has anyone seen any nice ones up recently?

Take a look on my website www.rsmk11escortclub.co.uk

Register on the BB (free) and lots of good examples for sale on there.

 

sorted, I'm going back, back to the old skool!

 

Welcome back from the darkside !

 

Help me Lord Vader, I can see the good is returning in me, don't let me go to the frontwheeldrive side!

 

I paid 4k for my MKII RS2000 , it is a good clean solid honest car , 46000 miles , 3 owners last owner had it 23 years , not a lot of history (the chap who owned it had his own garage) not a concours car but clean ,

pay less than 3k and i would say you are buying a car that will need work but will be clean (ish)

5-6k and you are looking towards the lower end concours cars

 

4k for mine as well, like Gaz says, any less and you ll be looking at work to do on it. You might be lucky and get a solid shell but most people that have them know what they re worth































And Welcome back

 

Gooey, that looks gorgeous, I wanna spend Ł4-7 k, I don't want a rally car as I can see mysŁlf going down the rally routŁ agŁin and that's Łxpensive!Can I use an English axle for the road,I had a fully floating atlas (Ł3250 from Gartrac) in the last, but I don't wanna spend the money on that again, can you still go sideways and stuff reliably with an English?

 

Well Im still on the origional axle and it certainly goes sideways even if sometimes it needs a bit of provoking
In the dry it grips, the wet will slide everywhere and in the snow is just suicidal.
Having said that, Im now in the process of picking up a diff from a 1.3 Escort as the Box I ve just put in has made the gearing really tall and I cant launch it for shit

 

wait till scotts orange mk2 is unveiled next yr then you will see a mega mk2 on a small budget but it will be legendary

 

I didnt buy mine for 4k like that either, took me a year so far and almost twice what I bought it for to get it like it is.

4k will get you one with the carbs and bits on if you look hard enough

 

mine had the carbs and other little bits done , but ive had it about a year and up to now spent around a grand on it thats without the next part of the cleaning/tuning process

 

If you want to take on a "project" then be warned !!!!!

Take a look at how my car looked taking part in concours before I rebuilt it !!!

www.rs2000custom.co.uk

And my saying "all that shines is not rustfree" still stands with a lot of MKII's out there !

Tread carefully and check the shells properly

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED

 

Might be selling mine :P PM me if your interested

Nige

 

Why? I thought you were loving it nige?

 

Sell me the diff Nige or swap ya

 

LOL at Gooey i have a 3.54 already and the 3.9 will stay in the car

Gaz i do love it but am thinking of building a Locost kit car etc

Everything is for sale at the right price and remember i paid less than 3k for mine with all the head work , Twin 45s Carbs , Cams , Diffs , Box , Brand New Zaust , etc

So the right price she will go

Nige

 

nice car Nige, But I gotta sell the rs first, talking of diffs, I had a 4:6 in my old mk2, it only did 85!
