I might buy it because it is a solid classic, and appreciate the rally history, carl might appreciate it as a solid shell, and appreciate the rally potential. And as this is a modding news group, I could be persuaded to convert the solid shell into a retro rally rep, basically one step further than I did with the Favorit.

I used to do 17 miles of motorway with a 1.2 4 gear Skoda Estelle each way for 6 months. If I could have persuaded the missus, I would be doing it now in a 136 1.3 Skoda with 5 gears, instead of the Celica (but she insisted it had to be newer. A H plate Celica with 136k miles, is newer than a K plate Rapid with 50k miles to her). Basic but competant, and easy to do. Just turn the radio up.

What on earth are you people on? A Mk 1 Escort is no less refined, seriously, than say, a 1994 1.2 Corsa or somesuch. Okay, it's not comparable to the sort of car £2,500 will get you, but driving a Mk 1 (or Mk II) is not a hardship. If anything it's infinitely more fun - I've driven a 1.3 Sport regularly, and I used to drive a 1.6 Mk II 4 door at insane speeds - it was one of the tidiest handling cars I've driven for the complexity (or lack thereof) and easy to get into right away - it's taken me a while to get into the Supra's chassis (though now I have, it's not the wafting boat I thought it was and is more likely to be upsetting 'nippy' cars like MINI Cooper S's and such). I can easily imagine commuting 10 miles, and driving 60 miles to Edinburgh in it and loving every minute. Richard SignatureApples of various varieties - currently eMac/G5/PowerBook and ancients.

Well, mine needs sharper brakes and balljoints, but yes - they do. When I sold the Sera, I drove to Carlisle with my gf following in the Supra - I thought the Sera felt skittish, until she pointed out I hadn't dropped below 70 for any of the bends. Ooops. Guess the reduction gear for KM/MPH isn't the most precision bit of kit then ;) Supra is another kettle of fish. I've been treating it gently on account of the usual fear of blown headgaskets, but I've since decided to just drive the damn thing and wait for when I need to rebuild the engine. The rest of the car seems alright, so may as well enjoy it. 24v engines clearly need to be worked to get the best out of them, like 16v. Shame, I prefer my oomph below 4000rpm :/ Of course, my plan doesn't involve any thoughts of 4.0 Lexus V8 transplants. Oh no.

I think that people rate Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts because the Mk3 onwards were so pitifully dreadful. I think it may also have something to do with rally heritage and the fact that their rear wheels are driven. I like the shape and I'd like a go in one of the Cosworth engined ones I've seen at Santa Pod though. >> My first car was a Mark 1 Escort.
