Want a cosworth for the weekends really and good summer days. wont some power but not crazy and it to look good. i'll get an old work horse for everything else. got a garage so storage aint going to be a prob. dont want to get one tht i have to do sills, wings etc.. dont mind doing some stuff as im a mechanic . but been down that road. been there with a s2 before. was kinda set on a escort newer but also more expensive. whereas the 3dr's are cheaper but generally need more work.

Had a 3 door and 2wd saff`s, but i think id go for a escos as the 3 doors just seem soo old when your driving them, even compared to the 2wd saff cos`s , but for rwd action then the 3 door, but for sheer looks the escos ! h

but i think id have a saff over them all

and unless your stupid and buy a shed, your money should be safe enough

You'll get a £12K escort, thats all i say!

IMO i'd go for a MINT 3dr if thats all you got!

and a NO NO to the 500!

you might get a tatty rs500 for 12.5k but you looking at 20k-30k for a decent rs500.

have you thought about a normal 3 door rather than a rs500?, you'll get a very very nice one for 12.5k with a good spec and very clean
