If RS mk2 escorts were..

[GAZ W]

(...apart from the 1800) Fetching same money as Escort cosworths would you consider selling up and getting a esc cossie instead?


Also what RS would you have if you didnt have the MK2 ?

[docscars]

mk 2 will never die long live mk 2

[grum]

wouldnt mind my yellow mk1 mexico back and 'big winging' it

fond memories remain

[roths]

I DO very much want an Escort Cosworth....but it will have to be "as well as" the RS2..so need to keep saving!
While we're on the subject...

I've been watching loads of EsCossies on EBay for months..they hardly ever sell or reach the reserve..suggests the owners think they are worth quite a bit more than the market does..??

Any insights or comments Gaz/anybody??

[Dave1800BDA]

Gaz i wouldnt sell to buy escort Cos,

would like big wing RS1600 in sebring, or RS500 or RS200 or.......

MK2s here to stay tho

[topaz]

i sold a 10k miler auralis esc cos to fund a house move

would i do the same with the mex?

not a chance

[GAZ W]

my mk2 is here to stay but an esc cossie is the car i would want if i didnt have the mk2

Would love to own both but sadly will never be in a situation where i can afford to own both

[AQUA]

most definitely NOT, the Escos is vile, tres tacky in my opinion. The Sierra RS500 is the last best thing Ford did.

i'd swap my RS2 (if i had one) for the 500...for a few months, then swap back.

Sorry cant help, but they must be selling eventually as they are still demanding 12k to 18k for an esc cos

[topaz]

£10k gets you a tidy one at the moment

[morcheen]

at least ford have a long history of producing great cars,unlike subaru
can't really compare the mk2 and the esc cos.

[Kel]

I wouldnt do it, if there anything like a 4x4 Saff.. a big no no !!!

I would only sell my Mk2 for another Mk2

[vinny]

would love a mk1 twin cam

Didnt know that , thought the tidy ones still started around the 12k mark

10k is tidy mk2 money now days

[RS1800]

is it time to sell up i can remember the jag e types in the early 90s doing a packet not sure they seem to have gone down in price

It would have to Mk1 RS1600

once tried a skater but it was not kind to me (****in set on fire i will find that one out for Ruddy and vin )
