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 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

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
This is only for the Mk3 Cabriolet.
Oh and i have a C reg Mk3 Cabriolet

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.

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

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

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.


Quick Reply: how many mk3/4 escort cabs are left?
