Thing is I dont have the room for it, I would buy this in a split second if I had somewhere to put it :sad: but my garage is full.

 

And no im not selling my zed for 2.5K after spending 60+K on it to make space.

I fooking hate Escorts !! :hammer:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

But ?:confused1:

 

 

 

 

 

That is rather nice ! :cool3:

 

 

Alan.......

I love escorts especially the fit blonde ones

That is lovely mate! build another garage, quick!

certainly a nice example, but again, im not a fan of escorts.

Its a fantastically restored example.........but of all the escorts the Mk3 has to be the worse.......and I've owned 4 of the shitty things.

Was ooh and aahing over a few of these at the classic car show at tatton park, Cheshire, yesterday. A few zeds there as well

i really want it but have no where to put it... gutted

Look at this beauty PMSL http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FORD-ESCORT-ORION-RS-trubo-LOOK-BIG-SPEC-/120766255260?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item1c1e3ad09c

Ebay is full of gems http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/nissan-zx-300-moddified-520-bph-no-reserveeeeeeeee-/160638801056?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2566d194a0

 

How about a nice 520bhp zed? cough, im sure the dyno has been lost and the engine mod is an aftermarket filter or something.

that is so nice and a true RS .....a much much better car than the XR3i ever was......someone from the UK RS owners club will snap that up for sure

very nice example and a good investment

 

Just think one day our Zeds will be worth that sort of money :whistling:

mk1 and two escorts are loverly but this does nothing for me. its not even rwd. :(

Had 1 of these loved it but that was 1987!!!

I agree that it's a fine example - and I'd also have to say that Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts would be higher on my list than the Mk3......

 

......but with reference to the sporting models, I reckon the later Mk4/5 got worse still!!!

 

And I was never a Ford fan during the 1980s; but some of the cars from those days now have "retro-cool appeal" for me. I guess it takes me back to my youth. Which can never (sadly) be recaptured........:biggrin:

Im no mk4 or Mk5 fan either. The Mk1 & Mk2 were by far the best......but the Mk4 had the RS Turbo and the Mk5 had the Cosworth and were better cars to drive overall.

Nice, but not 9k Nice! I'd rather own another newer Z for that money!

Actually yes, you have a point there Dave....

 

....I was getting my "marks" mixed up - thinking of the Mk4 as a facelifted Mk3, instead of as a new car:whistling:

 

So yes, the Mk4 was a step up from the Mk3 (although the Mk5 range was crap apart from the Cossie). But don't forget the RS Turbo came out in Mk3 form first - remember they were virtually all in white and looked otherwise similar to the RS1600i Martin started the thread with...?

 

Richard:cool3:

Its sold now i think he pulled the listing saying no longer available!!! I woke up today and thought frack it im gonna buy it worry about where to keep it later...
