Stupid wheels in the nearest canal, stupid exhausts getting stamped on repeatedly. Likely to need a tickle here and there but viable. The problem? At £350 - it's going racing if you're not quick. https://www.facebook.com/groups/1132719040088900/permalink/5493367410690686/?sale_post_id=5493367410690686 Pretty sure that's the one that used to live near me.

barrett Posted February 2, 2022 Share Posted February 2, 2022 Look you lot, somebody do me a solid and buy this thing so I don't have to, yeah? Now, you know I HAT Fr0ds because I'm a sophisticated gent and they're cars for knuckle-draggers BUT these things are so WEIRD MAN! Only built for two years, they were rare when they were new but were supposedly loads better than the Mk3 and supposedly go and handle really well. I love the mishmash styling, and the interior looks pretty mega. This one has a clean MoT until July and, although it has a few crusty bits, I reckon would respond really well to some fairly minor cosmetic fettling. Put it away in a nice dry barn and cash-in in a few years when this model is totally extinct. It's £500 and just up the road from me.

Controversially, I actually like the Mk6 Escort. Particularly in estate form. I wouldn't mind an estate for the lugging stuff to the tip and that.

I wouldn't mind an estate for the lugging stuff to the tip and that. I realise this is no longer the case but my mind a mk5 or mk6 escort should never exceed £500. I listen to a pod cast were the host asks the guest what one car would you have for the rest of the life and you can have a £500 banger on the side for the dogs and going to the dump. I always see a mk6 escort estate in my minds eye. I recon a 1.8 zetec would be pretty nice but a 1.3 encore would be abject misery. carburettor, BorniteIdentity and AnnoyingPentium 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a 1.4 bASe spec Fabia Classic on AutoTrader a wee while ago with EHMAHGERD HGF for £495. A wee bit crusty in at the sills but only done 38k, Weegie registered too. If I could be arsed/had the skills for changing a head gasket then it would have been tempting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think he’s sorting it over winter, saw him post on the Lancia Thema consortium group looking for a front subframe a few weeks back, he seems a good lad and the mods are tasteful. Used it as his wedding car and his late grandfather had one so probably has a lot of sentimental value to him. Dick Longbridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looked a really genuine example and infinitely cleaner than the one shared on here recently. The fact he used it as his wedding car instantly ups the sentimentality stakes too!
