Mk1 Escort, cheap!

Yeah the mk1 and 2's are reaching sky rocket prices. Mid you look at the price of a standard mk1 fiesta or mk3 escort. They are getting expensive too
 
This Escort silliness has got to stop!

I mean this is nice:

But the mania has perculated down to the rustiest brown, famine-spec 1.1's.

Speaking of which a BEIGE 5 DOOR 1.3 sold for £5500 around the corner from me not long ago with the obligatory BROWN canvas roof.
 
I suppose its good in a way that at least part of automotive history is being saved though. No one is going to scrap a Mk1 or 2 no matter what kind of state its in because they are worth so much. People buy them up to restore and then look after them or punt them on for 3 times the price they bought them for!

There was a story not too long ago in a car mag (cant remember which one now) about people buying up poverty spec Mk1's and making them look like and then selling them as Mexicos and RS2000s which might explain part of why even the crap ones prices are high.
 
Yep Matt I know a guy on Canvey, Si knows him too (sprayer) He has been buying the old spec savers and RS'ing them
