  • My first car was a 1979 MK2 RS2000, got it at 14, rebuilt it to save it from a near death of rotting away. Now 23 and I still have it. I get offers for it all the time, everytime someone asks to buy I always reply with "no, its not for sale"

  • they used to be cheap now they cost about 10'000

  • x-pack rs2000 drooooooooooool

  • Still one of the best rally cars to watch. They may not be as quick as the modern stuff, but a well driven Escort is very entertaining.

  • They are the best cars ever made top video to.

  • I bought my Escort MK1 Mexico in oct 1984 still got it 26 yrs later and its going through its final rebuild . Ill look after it this time .I being in the motor trade have driven many cars scubbys evos etc , And nothing comes close to the fun I had in my Mexico  thats my oppinion . But then wonder why I kept the car for so long ..They are great and will live forever

  • My first car was a mk1 Escort back in 1995 all up i've owned about 8 , i have two now :) i can't bear to sell one of them lol I love em and their adventures lol, go the pinto and kent motors!

  • Do you want your tourette octuplets ? Or do you want to kick my ass first?

  • aahhh, i hope your joking - not only have you commited the sin of crushing a gorgeous classic you probably lost out on around £10k! I bet you didnt stay and watch it get scrapped either?!

  • i acutully found out it might have been worth a bit of money as my gran still has the reg book,it said ford owned it as a work rally car or some thing thinks for showing interest

  • ah even better, bet ur kicking yourself now - was it an RS1800?? Oh well, live and learn hey!

  • yeah my gran kept all my uncles car stuff,and i found out it was something called a group4 rs1800 work rally car or some thing ,i still dont know if it was worth anything,

  • Sure it was a works rally car, and my ass is a Lotus gearbox... nice try,tho...

  • what?

  • i remember watching this back in the day on top gear and it just blew me away,at last ,escorts made it on to tv instead of the snobbey ,mg owners club ,or jag owners club!

  • I sold my replica mk1 mexico 10 years ago god did i regret it FTB270J does anyone know where it is it would be worth thousands now. I AM AFFLICTED I HAVE ESCORTOSIS ANY OTHER SUFFERER'S

  • I sold ny GENUINE '73 mk1 mexico in '88 for almost nothing, the guy who bought it only needed the gearbox for his lotus super seven,i think....wonder how much it would be worth now...

  • Lots...Think mine would be worth 6 grand-ish it was daytona yellow full custom pack mex wings rs 2ooo runing gear vulcan built 2.2 pinto 45 sidedrafts type 9 gearbox lowered 3in rs alloys janspeed single box pipe and when i bought it it was in bits the shell had just been painted inside out and there was no interior i sourced parts from everywhere new black door cards and carpets fishnets quarter bumpers the car looked like new when we fully assembled it. Big regret letting it go...

  • Sounds like a sweet ride...The only car deals i regret are the ones i never made, and the ones i sold....

    Cheers.
