Excellent article Dave , you must have been well chuffed when the uprated oil pump re-decorated the engine bay for you! I really must sit down and right a piece on my re-build, as you rightly say, the mags only as good as the articles that are sent in.......

On a slightly different subject, i've just been studying the price guide on pages 14-15, and all I can say is...... WTF!!! I know that the whole "lagging behind" issue was discussed in great depth when the last issue came out, but when you put it into context and you see the Mex & RS2000 prices compared to the MK3,4,5&6 price guides, the values are laughable!!

For example:

1. Apparently there has been no movement in Mex & RS2 values since Jan 2006. However all MK1 models and RS1800's have increased in value in that time...

2. Concours values for Mex's are quoted as being £6k-£8k...... in comparison; RS1600i: £7k - £12k, Series 1 Turbo's: £9k+, and MK 5 & 6 RS2000's: £7k....

3. Apparently you should be able to buy "Good" condition Mex's and RS2's for £2000-£4500!..... Can someone please tell me the whereabout's of this Escort oasis, as i'll buy half a dozen of them!!

4. Quote "IMPORTANT NOTE - All RSOC valuations will be based on this price guide for at least six months post the date of publication"......!!!!

Now i know that i'm a bit biased, as I own a Mex, but surely a well sorted MK2 has got to be worth more than a newer, more common, front wheel drive RS in comparable condition???!!! I'm not knocking the MK3's by the way, I would love to have a mint 16i sat next to the Mex in the garage, but surely it's about time our "friendly" registrar got of his aRSe and did some research, rather than just picking up Practical Classics every now and then, and copying there price guide!!!

Hope I don't get into trouble for doing this with copyright etc. If

As NO SALES of the magazine will be effected then I feel it is fine

Who knows it may even encourage others to join the RSOC to see similar articles
