Just thought i'd share the pics as i think its as cool as fuck, would be even better with a 2.0 xe on throttle bodys

proper hard car that one, looks cracking.yb anyone?

 

i'm a little tempted myself but i know it will end up a mony pit with engine swaps etc lol

 

but this is not a for sale post for a "friend"

 

not at all i couldnt care less if it sells or it doesnt, i am stuck offshore and didnt even realise he was selling it.

 

Looks cool

Dan

 

I'm only joking , looks a cool car though.

 

that is so cool

ps did you have a mate with a marina with a cossie in it

 

thats cool as fuck!

 

mint.

 

I've got a mate with a marina tc but its getting a 2.0 xe vauxhall motor put into it

 

very nice clean car

 

Never liked Avengers but that does look cool, from side on it does look like it needs bigger rims though.

 

I think it would look odd with modern bigger wheels tbh and it looks right in the flesh

 

I wasn't talking about modern rims, I don't like the look of 13's with low profile tyres.. IMHO they look poo on Escort's too, 15's would look much nicer.

 

Cool retro car. As you said its gagging a nice motor now.

 

Reserve not met at Ł3200? It's a cool car but there's going to be limit to how much an Avenger's worth surely? Ł3200 sound like a good price to me

 

Just as modifyable and fun as a Mk2 escort.... Do you think you'd get a Mk2 for 3200?

 

No, but there's a much bigger following for the Mk2. The size of the following increases demand, and hence price surely.

 

nice lookin car that

 

Exactly, and with Mk1's and Mk2's costing 10 grand and up the other cars of the Era, such as Avengers and Sunbeams and Vivas and so on are going to start coming up in price too.

Just goes to show just how pish all the current stuff is if people are willing to spend that much on an old slow car just to have some fun
