Default Mk1 Twin Cam

Anyone know what a mk1 escort twin cam is worth, and if there are any for sale at the moment? Changing jobs so going to be getting the bus to work so thinking of changing the cossy for a older car and always wanted one of these.

Cheers

There was a really nice original RS1600 at Ace Cafe a few months back at that was 14k

Seen one on Flee-Bay recently and that was 16k


So you probably will get a decent Twin Cam for around the 10k mark



The only problem with that is you find that you cant enjoy it for fear of bending it.....
