Why are there no white escort cosworths ???

didn't ford offer that colour? has anyone ever re-sprayed one white?

Cant help but think they would look good in white, that alpine white from audi or something.

Any thoughts?

i used to have a white 95 model escort cosworth lux in white, i got shut of it and bringed meself a red one.

white cars around 92 on seemed to have a authority stigma attached to it,now i see all sorts of new cars in white that are luxury,sports or mundane.

Unfortunately white was never offered as an option by Ford.

ANY that you see in white have been repainted AFTER the factory.

Much like the S1's in other colours other than white
