Gutted, I used to work with a guy who had a mint early RS2000 Escort 4x4 which I wanted really badly, he's just got in touch to say he's decided to sell through lack of time to use it and offered me it for a ridiculously low number. I'm getting married this year and all funds are tied up

There can't be more than 20 of this model left, maybe less

Awesome car in its day.

Escort Cossie vs Wife?

...... oh, hang on a minute, She sold that last year.

The Police around here had a couple of these... marked and unmarked.... I got stopped by the unmarked when I had my Mini Turbo, he tried to catch me but couldn't LOL Only time he caught up with me was when I stopped for some petrol...

That was a looooooong time ago...

True, but the Escort 4x4 where a lot more Tree Friendly than the RWD Sierras.

Someone's already suffered the pain, last time I saw it, it was peachy. Plus Webby's just learnt so why would I need to

If you'd said RS200 I'd have understood your disappointment..

But you're just talking about an Escort, so, no need to throw away your marriage

If it was a 200 I would have it and never see her again

,just an escort but one I lusted after in my teens and this particular one must be one of very few early model 4x4 left. They will come of age at some point and climb in value as did the Mk2 and Mk3 is now climbing fast, check out mint early 80's XR3i prices

That would be this white one in Wigan. He's had it since new and I first saw it i n his showroom when I was 15...25 yrs ago

would dearly love it but he wanted £199,995 a few weeks back but now is open to offers...doubt he will take the future wife though

corrected that for you! At least it isn't a Cosworth, as you'd add learning to rebuild engines to that.
