Default Maybe changing 3 Door to Escos

This is not a for sale post, more curiosity than anything.
I am currently thinking of changing from my 3 Door Cosworth to an Escort Cosworth.
Decided I want something a bit newer but still cosworth.
So may swap etc

Heres the spec;

1987 D reg
Approx 90000 miles (covered in garage tho)
Rebuilt last year, headgasket etc
Stage 3 tune (mildly tuned)
4x4 intercooler, rad, head etc
Twin strut brace
Turbo excellent condition
Bodywork very good, but not concourse, but very tidy
RS500 replica rear spoilers and front splitter
Standard interior (good condition), and parcel shelf
Standard wheels (good condition, with centres and locks)
I also have he standard hoses, tanks etc
Koni suspension.
The car currently has leather interior and compomotive wheels but these would be removed and replaced with standard.
As said interested in an Escort Cosworth, deal could be done.
I am in no rush to sell or swap so no silly offers as I am happy to keep this if not

Jason,keep the 3dr m8,u will regret it I promise.The escos looks great BUT they don't drive anything like as well as any sierra.trust me I have owned an RS500,2x 3dr's and 2 4wd sapps.I have driven an escos and was very disappointed,not as solid on the road as a sierra.The escos boys will tell u the same thing.
You need to drive an escos and get as much of a test drive as u possibly can.
I hope this helps.

Love the first few picks of the car with the 5 spokes on.Its a hard dission.I love both cars.I would ask someone you know and have a drive of one.

Ive heard of a few people that the escos drive and handle really good.
