yes I agree, Very mint & lots of potential with the bits you've had built into engine, suprised you havent exploited the spec a bit more to use the mods to their potential but that does bode well for anyone wanting a nice escos with a good basis for a mental machine!

Good luck with the sale mate, and top car

When i was at collins they said the turbo is at its limits really so they said it could do with a bigger turbo instead of the t34 but i use the car most days so i dont need silly power so was happy with the 390bhp

i was then offered this new escort i have got at a very good price for the spec so couldnt really say no and i carnt afford to keep 3 escorts so one has to go

in all honesty i have been in a couple of 2.4 conversions and all have performed differently i think all in all i would say that they are better for pottering around in as they pick up quicker and seem to be less laggy

dave i will be poping over to the cheshire meet tonight as my brother fancies going
so should see you there

I think he's just being realistic about what people will pay for them now. The over-priced ones will just sit there for sale for a loooong time. Price them right and they'll sell.

Lovely looking car.

If that's the case then fair enough Karl, I just know what I've got to spend at the moment and can't go any higher. Anyway, why would you want to sell yours for Graham's, surely once you get yours sorted there would be no point.

Yes times are hard, but if you were that hard up you wouldnt spend anything on a toy! Im saying if people have 15K fior an Ecos, then surely if the right car comes up, then another 1500 is worth the stretch!

I know a afair amount still spending as always TBH.

Well at the end of the day I know what I can spend. I can't go any more than the offer I've made. I love the look of this car and it's spec but if my offer's not enough I'm happy to wait until the right deal/car comes along. I'm 100% confident the right deal is/will be out there with the way the country is at the moment.
