I don't mind Mk II Escorts they're fun to drive, I had a new one at work. But why get a total clanger then 'invest' more $$ into it, when reasonably decent ones with rego can be had for well under $1k. Even a super tidy 2-litre Mk II like a GL would only be worth $2k or so, absolute max imo

FYI of UK Escort likers many local Escorts were 2 litre models, even in panelvans, including a nifty (Sundowner?) sport van. Ford AU even contemplated selling a V6 version, protos built and tested. Likewise a MK III Cortina Bathurst special with a 302cid Cleveland V8


In much of Oz, rust isn't the overwhelming problem that it can be in europe. Where I am, cars don't seem to suffer rust at all but it's obviously worth looking if you live coastal

Not suggesting this car which I came across this car the other day (and apparently a bit of on-topic tinworm) but thought I might share. Its a little cutie eh? Rare-original these days, there's a very neat 17 TS (same colour) in Canberra that's been lurking around for years
