Fookin lovely example, but have to agree that as escos's go wouldn't say it looks 'up to date' exactly, rondells for starters have been around on them for soo many years now!!!

it looks dated because it is, however it's still better looking than most of the modern pieces of shit that manufacturers are bringing out !

Best colour/wheel combo IMO. Still looks awesome these days I think. You see a VXR or Scooby these days and don't bat an eyelid. See a cossie and you snap your neck looking!

Car doesnt look dated at all, stunning. Wins hands down over a modern 4 door Evo!!

Personally, think Rondells have aged in recent years tho.
Used to be one of my fav wheels too. My mates got 'em on his Escos and loves them...
.....Personal choice i suppose.

Totaly stunning car, Not Dated at all IMO, park that next to any scooby / evo and i would bet a lot of cash that car would grab most of the intrest

And as for the wheels , well there isnt a better wheel out there for the escoss

I still have my as new ronnys and wont part with them as i know i will have another escoss one day , and if its half as nice as that ill be happy ,,,, Oh and as long as its black

And yes it does look dated, dont be fooled buy the clear indicators

lets face it is a 20 year old design, a true immortal classic tho.

Yeh makes you realise how much money you have spent on what is essentially a 15-20 year old escort

After being in Vw's and Audis, getting in the escort for a weekend drive really was an ugly place to sit.

Fantastic looking car, imo one of the best designs by Ford.

Beefy stance bu everything tucks in and looks molded and purposeful, one of the reasons I can't get on with the new FRS styling, looks stuck on jobbies compared to the escos.
