Brilliant cars though... Yes all that really looks salvageable are the rear lights and the interior, that one looks like trouble Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Austat Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 This is very appealing, tidy looking Escrot MK2 1100L for £6500. Of course the foglights, rear spoiler, and black back-panel are not stock, but the price is very reasonable: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/903554883838445/?ref=search&referral_code=marketplace_search&referral_story_type=post MisterH and Tenmil Socket 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a C3 100CS 5-pot was a cut above the other C3 100s. The only things better than that were the 200 / 200 Quattros. And if by "factory wheels in the boot", the seller means these: the original Fuchs alloys, then the wheels alone are worth having - they also look well on the B2 Ur-Quattros. Pity it's in Gainsborough, otherwise I'd be tempted to go and have a look.... This looks like a job for @Spurious Oh god don't tempt me. In the comments he's a bit arsey about what the reserve is, wonder what he wants for it (probably too much). I'm seeing the value creep up in these now. They were sub 2k cars in good nick at one point but like everything recently, everything's on the up. But those alloys are delightful. 5 bolt too. Wonderful. When I get a garage (soon) I'll be on the look out for a 4x100 version of these. JeeExEll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren't many CSs sold here (I only ever saw one when they were available new), and they were the only ones to get the all-red shaded tail light lenses. Like the 200s, they also had 5-bolt hubs.

In 1972 this would have been 50 years old, the equivalent of a J-reg Mk1 Escort now. Get a Ford 16v Zetec or a Vauxhall red-top in there m8. And a rubber boot spoiler.

barrett Posted September 10, 2021 Share Posted September 10, 2021 It's a bit crinkled, but otherwise this £1000 205 TD looks absolutely GR12 I reckon. Got the nice wheels, big sliding glass sunroof, presumably quite a plush interior (no pics sadly) I haven't looked up the MoT history or owt, and it doesn't have a test at the mo but I dunno, it just gives me a really good 'vibe' for some reason. Reckon you could just drive it home and it would work forever with zero upkeep for the rest of time.

No one wants to collect 1100 drum braked 4 door escorts. A basic immaculate Avenger, Viva, Toledo,or ADo16 is far more desirable to collectors. Escorts are only worth silly money if they’re 2 doors, people only buy 4 doors and estates because they can’t afford a 2 door , if you’ve got £14,000 to play with to buy a base for your RS/ Fast and Furious lookalike you’d buy a 2 door and do a bit of welding ,originality has no meaning in the world of non -AVO , non -RS Fords Someone will disprove this theory and show me a £25k 4 door 1300e or something.
