So do I

mattbibs

buying a 500 is buying a rare bit of motorsport history! thats why id favour the S1 over the S2! the escos is still a really nice car - but IMO id prefer the 500 everytime!

but dont think id ever get 1 cos of the price!

Ryan

hands off

get a black one!

the white ones are for me

Little Joe

I got the picture off the RS500 forum. Cant remember the his name.

Ryan

oh ok

well i want it

gimme gimme gimme

mattbibs

& how much for the escos? my mate is just about to start looking for a good 1!

RigPig

500 no contest
I know where there is one in storage with 46 yes 46 miles on the clock
Bloke will not sell it at the mo but he has given me first chance to buy it when he selkls it.

mattbibs

has any1 seen the white 500 that is on the derbyshire stand at the shows?? doug's must be the mintest white 500 there is!

Little Joe

I chap near me has just got a really mint black one. the word on the street is that it has only done 30k and totally standard!

I saw him in it the other day with a big Mongosse on in and some bufty crome 18"!!



Sorry but if you have a car like that its got to stay standard, thats what i think!

Stavros

Id MUCH rather have a 500 than an esc cos, id much rather have a 3dr than a EscCos.

Depending we talking fairly equal tech spec of course

peteh

iTrader: (3)

thought it was Nick500 white one? he has a black 3dr and this, i think it was a copy also?!

probably wrong

Mr RS500

Looks like i will have to buy a 500 then ,
Anyone know where there is one for sale ????

Little Joe

Thats the Fella.

Driven both lots and I seriously would have my large turbo Escos over Waps old 500. It's better looking (in my opinion), far newer and much less laggy. I kicked his arse everywhere we went.

It all depends on what the car's for I guess. Waps was always wary of modding the 500 what with it being such a collectable, when at the end of the day mine is just a fast Ford Escort.

Fagin

Do you really think so??? So I suspect you won't want a ride in mine when I pick it up from TS next week then!!

If I could afford the transmission to cope with my engine I would still revert back to an Escort Cossie tbh (and I have thought about buying one again and swapping the engine over from my 500). I have had 2 Escorts now and I love em..... but for ultra power RWD is easier on the pocket if not on my arse cheeks!

I do like my RS500 don't get me wrong, but I have always and will always love the Escorts.

Just buy both and be done with it! lol

M.A.D.RST

What spec is the escort?

Owners, mileage ect...?

Colour?

Barrie has one remember,you know the mint one which dont need any paint

timrud

Paul, your Escos is MINT!

But a 500 is the way to go!

Off topic, about that Leval 8 ECU, sorry I've not been back in touch, its for a mate and hes gone away. Sell it if you get an offer, and when I see him and if he wants it I'll be back in touch again! If its gone its gone!

DaveEscos

esc cos all day long! not just because i own one!


escs are 100 times better looking!
better to drive!
newer!
interior etc

people just go for the 500 due to the rarity and the extra plenum additions and turbo


woooooppppyyydooooooo

Cola

Laaaggggggggggyyyyyyyyyyyy.

When Waps bought his 500 I had to drive it back from Southampton cos he wasn't insured.

I was good for about 3 miles and then a TT went past close and fast so I chased after it. I think I had my foot fully on the gas for about oohh... half an hour before the turbo kicked in. Thought he'd bought a ringer for a mo!

hi paul , my mate is selling his i think , its a black one with about 50k on the clock , he go's to the shows and you may have seen it on our stand , (durham) at lightwater valley, its standard i think and is v.v.nice,
my other mate bought a one about a year ago with 7k on the clock , its a white one and he paid 18k for it the lunatic personally i know what you mean about the attraction of a 500 but having seen your escoz , id have yours over me mates 7k 500 any day, its far superior in 'EVERY WAY' and its purely down to personal preference, escoz looks and goes better imo, bring on the onslaught from the 500 crew

interesting thread, as I too have a very low miles Escos big turbo currently squirreled away in the garage,and was thinking of chopping it in for a moonstone 500,I would deffo spend 18 grand for a 7000 miler,but they are few and far between,I didn't think people rated them over an Escos,I thought it was just me being weird,has got me thinking about it again though
damn

Fraz

Not a copy, Prototype no. 2 a very special 500

Black 500 though cant beat em

wimwerf

Jon(m600)
