MK1 Ford Escort.

[artie]

So it seams that a British company will be producing MK1 ford Escorts under license from Ford very similar to the original highest performing ones.

I was quite looking forward to today's launch but once I heard the base price I immediately came down to Earth wit a bump.

Read something about it a week or so back.
As you say the price is steep.
Still I suppose it's the old thing, "If you have to ask, you can't afford it"

made from gold, silver and diamonds

At least you can keep that one indoors and dry so it will not turn into iron oxide in front of your eyes. On the other hand many a person cut there teeth welding them back together.

How long do you think this interest in/ value of Escorts/ Sierras will last? Not just the petrol/ electric thing, but how interested are youngsters in the cars? Us old farts remember watching them succeed in rallies and all that, but younger people won't remember that. Once our clogs have popped, I reckon prices will tank. Regular Escort Mks 1 and 2 fetch loadsamoney these days, but I remember we had them as kids and they were very ordinary cars (except the ones Ford made for competition/ marketing). Nostalgia.
