Whats the difference if the Cosworth is a monte? are they more sort after?

Si

 

thgey are a special ed. so they would be more sort after.


Depends if you want the odd colours or the crap seats.

Small turbos too....except a few.




Dave.

 

Mallard green thaught that was nice?

Small turbo not good then?

Seats? are they different?

Si

 

not that bad of a colour.

there are worse though.

not if you want over 300bhp.

they are different yes, not leather.

they are similar to the late escort trim,a funny swirl type pattern on then and the word 'monte' on the side of the sear.


All depends on what you want and how much thhe car is.



Dave.

 

Si, my mate has a Jewel Violet Escort Cossie (small turbo) for sale...ot a monte, was an ex ford boss car or something, if your after one....he's local Was in Fast Ford a while back, was used for their Small Turbo modifyiing guide.

 

Looking to spend Ł13,000 to Ł14000 really, seen one in mallard for sale by me for Ł14000 ono

Did not know if this was good has 50,000 miles m plate with different 18" rims???

Si

 

Being honest, it does sound good at Ł14k.

If you really want the monte then go for it.

You can get normal escorts for that amount.




Dave.

 

Wanted to spend that much..... not really woried if its a Monte or not, this ones local don't want to travel far either really but I need to have a good look and take someone with me don't know much about cossies and never spent this sort of money on one b4 the most i spent on a car was Ł5500 less me p/x

Thanks for all the help

 

there is one for sale in the back of the latest ralleye news which looks a pretty good bargain!

think they had different badge on the dash and different gear knob - but wait to be corrected!

 

Yes Matt, thinks thats the one its about 20 miles from me might ring tomorrow

Si

 

they do have a number in the banana pod on the dash.

they have an alloy gear knob also.

You best bet is to do a search on the monte, in the photo section too.

you will have an idea what they look like then.


Dave.

 

Allways fancied a Monte myself,

But then thought if you are going to modify it whats the point. Chances are that the wheels would be changed and it would be chipped and receive a hybrid so that would leave you with some numbers on the dash, Motorsport embroiderd on the seat bolsters and an alloy gear knob / handbrake lever. Probilly better to buy a run of the mill esc cos if thats your intention.

However if your going to leave it standard and keep the miles down then i'd say the Monte is the one to go for.

Thats what i think anyway.

 

This is a link to Damos Monte, its a very nice car and is a big turbo model aswell

https://passionford.com/forum/viewto...301&highlight=

 

The wheels are already changed on the one I am going to look at

 

Oh dear,
Just been on and looked at the link

Want one again.

suppose id better start saving the pennies

 

Think your right if you have a monte it needs to stay standard.......

 

Phil is it a monte? And do you know how much he is asking?

Also anyone know how i can get Rallye News?

 

Jion the RSOC.





Dave.

 

The majority of Monte's are LARGE turbo's! Think theres about 6 small turbo Monte's IIRC.



What colour is worse than Mallard Green?! That's the reason i sold my last escort cos............ didnt like the colour!!

Max

 

I'm not really into mallard green, but i would not sell it cos of it.



Dave.

 

I like mallard green, but unfortunatly its like black, looks shit
when dirty

 

Simon,

My advice,

If you want MORE that 280 bhp in the future do NOT buy a small turbo escort cosworth.

Also consider these will be harder to re-sell due to lack of tuning ability over
a large turbo model.

280 Bhp sounds alot of power (to a nova owner )
but the escort weighs 1.8 tons and you will get used to it too quickly as
I know you are a bit of a speed freak like me.

But at the end of the day its up to you mate

Simon

 

Why not buy Simon's (secs)??

 

Thanks Si

And there nout wrong wiv me Nova and watch this space............

God willing there is a landow next year

Si
