The only car with a 'real world' price was the Staaaaagggg. :y :y

The Escort Mexico was simply a MK1 Escort with a 1600 Cortina lump in it.

How does that make it worth £20,000? :o :o :o :o

Well, a Mexico is actually a twin-cam with a 1600 Cortina engine, and so uses a lot of bits that weren't on ordinary Escorts. RS2000s are more of a decent spec Escort with a Cortina engine.

And the price? A mate has just sold one of his mk1s, that he took off the road 23 years ago and started fitting a Starion engine and gearbox to. It looks quite tidy from the outside, but has the tunnel cut out, and a couple of crudely fitted floorpans(I can own up to that, the first time I'd done that sort of work). He got £4700 for it, so a good, genuine £20k Mexico with a fresh Harris engine doesn't seem too outrageous to me.

For all it's faults at least the Stag was unique.

A body unique to the Stag and an engine unique to the Stag. :y
