Saw an Imperial Blue Escort Cosworth at JCT 28, only £12000.

It looked perfect, but far too cheap.

On further inspection of the photos I noticed the steering wheel's on the wrong bloody side!!!!

DAMN IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe I should have a look then.

Only problem is its at jct28 and I dont think ive heard much good about them.

Edited to say it looks really nice, I think I have to play the lottery now.

M7 COS, my mates got one for sale.







Ford Escort Cosworth Lux, 1992 J, 75000 miles, £ 15750.

He may drop the price on this as hes had it in stock for a while. he mainly deals with scoobs, evo's, audis, bmws etc although he does have a Lamborghini Gallardo in stock

I think you can get a decent big turbo with a few miles on it for about the £11000 mark. Especially if it's in one of the so-called less desirable colours.

He'd been trying to sell that car for a while, was definitely worth the money in my opinion. Poor guy got messed about a fair bit though.

If it was Imperial Blue I'd be there like a shot.

Good luck with the sale mate.

As the original rally cars were LHD then yes I suppose the right side is the wrong side.

The LHD/RHD thing is always sad as we cannot getmany nice cars and you have to have things different and so on....

So it doesn't really work out for either party then!

Good win against Wales yesterday, if you're Polish of course!

Not much into football. Heard on the radio the foodball team won something at last though. They are pathetic nevertheless, for a loooong time.

At the moment there are 4 on Autotrader for £11000 or less.

They look okay too, might be what you're after.

I'd never have a replica Escort Cosworth it would just feel so wrong driving it.

There are 5 genuine Escort Cosworth's on there at the moment, although 2 are over £11000.
