Yes you can, metal for metal, pound for pound. It's only a 1.6 sport. Nothing special at all. For that money is crazy. Actually, no escort was really special, they were a simple car for the masses; and the 1.6 sport a simple version of a simple car. So 30K is ridiculous IMO.

Only in the UK would you find people willing to pay 30K for a Mk2 escort and moan about paying 3K for a coupe smile

Indeed it was nothing special, I used to buy about 50 Escorts and 80 odd mark 2 Cortinas a year as repmobiles for a pharmaceutical firm in 1968 - 1970.

25% discount and guaranteed re-purchase after 12 months at 72.5% of the purchase price.

Simply a commodity.


16VT and X1/9 1500

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

They are both 99 cars but there is nearly £1500 price difference. Is an LE really work so much more?
Yes! An LE will go up and up in value and will always be sought after.
