Taken from Escort Cabby Club, http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk..._1#entry170646


Good evening all! hope u'v all ad a good day? thought i'd let ya all know as i'v ad alot of help frm the forum & thanx 2 a few people on here as bin trying 2 find out just how many mk3 1.3 cabs their really r left out there??? made a fone call 2 DVLA 2day & they put me thro 2 another department, i asked how many mk3 cabs there were left as there gettin pretty rare, the guy asked 4 my reg & he'ed call me bak.

& 4 a nice chance after about an hour & a alf he called bak wiv some nunbers!

he couldn't tell me engine size's, injection, non injection etc... & all he was able 2 tell me was the model, ie: cabriolet.

but left registered, ie: taxed, there r 156 & sorn there r 175... not many

now from what he said 'i'm only assuming that' that is the total for cabriolets in the whole range!!!
these fig's were taken frm sept 2010.

i also had a look at the pics that were put on the site frm fordfair 09 & i only counted 8 mk3's & only 3 were A plate's same as mine.

i still aven't found out just how many mk3 1.3's there actually out there & i'm not gonna give up, but it is bloody hard wrk http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk...ault/blink.gif if any1 on here knows of a 1.3 or has got 1 i would love 2 know or if any1 knows of how 2 get more info then that would b fantastice http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk...nana_dance.gif

kind regards mark, aka avul thats my little baby its just such a same she's not yet on the road, but wen she is i'll def bring her 2 some meets & show her of, long live the escort cabriolet http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk...le_mazeguy.gif http://www.escortcabrioletclub.co.uk...n_salut_gb.gif

since had new roof and currently sorn

Dennis_Wiseman 15-03-2011 02:06 PM

Surely can't be a low number, theres always loads for sale on ad trader, etc certainly more common than a hatch version base model mk3/4 Escort 3 or 5 door.

Mk4 Lew 15-03-2011 02:28 PM

i see a few cabbies round chesterfield

anodised 15-03-2011 03:27 PM

according to that mag feature there are far more rs turbo's left than cabby's, ill dig it out when i get home an put figures up

Dennis_Wiseman 15-03-2011 04:20 PM

Agree about more RST's but everytime i look for a MK3 or MK4 Escort, non turbo 3 or 5 door versions theres always a load of cabbys popping up for a few hundred.

No one seems to want them :(

1.9 xr2 on 40's 15-03-2011 04:24 PM

ive scrapped loads lol

Glenn_ 15-03-2011 04:27 PM

I know of 4 mk3 cabs where i live 3 white ones and a black 1.

Daveysaff 15-03-2011 04:45 PM

Ive got a b plate in sunburst red, scrapped an e plate one last year. Theres still plenty on the road, I can think of more cabbys on the road than std sierras!

Marvin_hagler_ 15-03-2011 05:39 PM

as above theres loads when the sun comes out,they are not worth as much as a hard top but are better on a hot sunny day.

i like the feeling of the sun over my baldy head and a cvh tapping away quite merrily :boxer:

liam-rst 15-03-2011 09:31 PM

lol to be honest i felt a bit gay in mine when i first got it lol was only when the sun came out i loved it

andy escos 15-03-2011 09:45 PM

Ebonycossie4x4 16-03-2011 08:58 PM

surprising that really as even the newest ones are over 20 years old, thats like sayin i love rs turbo's but they are nothin compared to a frs lol

Ebonycossie4x4 17-03-2011 08:09 AM

even then though my mk1 golf cabriolet was a far better car.

carlfiesta999 17-03-2011 08:16 AM

does anyone know where F36RHP is? i used to own that many moons ago was a funky blue colour with a rare RS addon kit, S1 MFi turbo engine. had only done about 55k but the conversion was a bodge so i got pissed off with it and sold it.
