cheers about the escort.is it worth it?i payed 150 quid for my xr2 and the engine had just a service done to it.as you can see in the pics it had to have a lot of work.so really it is up to u but i wouldnt pay that sort of money 4 one

delterflier

was thinking it was alot for a scraper...owell ive been offered 2 mk3 xr2is today so looks like one of them it maywel be.

cherrs for the info

lookin foward to a update on the xr2/escort

john

hav a good poke around the mk3,s for tin worn as in my experiance the mk2,s seem too have lasted longer than the mk3

Ł350 isn't that bad, if u ask me. mk2 seam worth more than mk3's

delterflier

been ofered a mk3 xr2i,its dark blue with the 1.8 efi engin and the wing back seats
im hoping he will take 250 but if not then 300,
l reg with around 88000 on the clock.

ok blunty you can have ya thread back now

hows the escort?
