Default Any decent Escort Cosworth's out there???

Debating on selling the Focus RS at the mo, which would be hard considering how immaculate she is

So I'm gonna dive into the search for an EsCos, so come on people, lets see some for sale that havn't been broken appart

Tempt me!!!

Cheers,

Al

How much would you value your car at?/what would you want to spend on an escos?

Got another little project on the go soon, so can't fund 3 motors at the mo, got a life to fund as well ya know

As much as I'd love a modified one, which is sensible too, I don't really buy other people's hard work...I prefer to have a standard-ish one But had a few catching my eye

Thanks guys

I would keep the focus mate far better drive over the escos imo, they look great but drive like a 4x4 sapphire.

Yeah I know, they are great cars. But I want an EsCos, always have. Wouldn't be a daily driver anywayz, so ideal for me. IMO the Cossie has a bigger presence than a Focus RS ever will

Oh and a Citroen 2CV mate is not a project

Now sell the Focus and build a 600hp 4wheel slider.

You knows it tiddly wink

And hey, James Bond did pretty well with half a 2CV....under estimated boyo!

Looking over a few threads, might even consider doing the conversion thing again. A few Saph's breaking around the area, perhaps I'll make something out of nothing for the time being

Yeah, but that's your car, so your biased!

But just to clarify, I'm not taking anything away from the Focus RS. If I didn't think it was a blistering good car, then I wouldn't have had one...it deserves that badge as much as the EsCos does. Its just that I feel the EsCos was well ahead of its time, and the tuning potential is....well, enough examples on here

What was so advanced about the escort? I love them but Subaru, Toyota and Mitsubishi to name a few were producing equally as good cars. Apart from the wild styling is was made from pieces of older fords Plus the esc cos never really performed as a rally car on the world stage

Not that much anyway! Was hoping to get a near standard-ish Cossie, don't really like to buy other people's hard work Rather put my own spin on things. But there isn't really a budget, just whatever looks worth the money its up for.

Yeah yeah, I know But I'll be wanting to use it every day, so a reliable 330-350bhp will do me. Can't be doing with typical Cosworth issues, loosing patience as it is!

@ Blacky

Is that the white one with the aston calipers???
