Jenni86 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 You wouldn't buy it for £65, let alone 65k!! No Thanks Quote
Arkwright Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 used to own one and in fact used to buy new shells from Ford and build rally cars for people. In those days a new shell cost £250 and slightly more with flared front wings. It's just the case of 'if I knew then what I know now' I would have put a dozen away for a rainy day! I would love to own it but I cannot possibly justify that price. Quote

CaptainSensible Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 I wouldn't buy that car, but they've got some other lovely motors for sale Quote
rich5259 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 He says only 200 were made - he's lost a 1 somewhere as there were 1200 produced between 1968 and 1970. It was never called a "Lotus Escort" but was the Escort TwinCam and used the same engine as the Lotus Cortina. Quote
Vik54 Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 Maybe if it were a Lotus Cortina But I'd take this off their hands quite happily http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1976-Ram-Cobra_W0QQitemZ380199715771QQihZ025QQcategoryZ18308QQcmdZViewItem - just for lazy sunday afternoons you understand?! Quote
Maccaman Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 My first car was a 1968 Ford Escort, slightly slower than this one though:blush: Friend had a Lotus Cortina some years later which we went to Blackpool in, not that impressed. Quote

nixy Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 i'm quite fond nowadays of retro cars - old escorts included, not that one though........ Quote
mattbowey Posted April 17, 2010 Posted April 17, 2010 i almost spend that much on a classic, a little more tbh, but that was a 67 shelby gt 500 fastback, aka eleanor. would definately not spend it on that though. not special enough. Quote
