All these older cars that you see with stupidly low mileage always makes me wonder, what condition will the engine be in. What I mean by that is take that escos, I bet it's never seen the happy side of 4000rpm. So, if you bought it and then gave it some good loving, would the engine actually take it.

I don't think a lot of women would appreciate the Cossie for what it is, I showed my wife a picture of it and asked her how much she thought it was worth.....on the basis that it was a 'K' plate Escort she reckoned about

Definitely not for me, but there seem to be a lot of Ford enthuisasts who are into the whole concours thing. It'll probably get trailered to a lot of shows and never really driven for the rest of it's life...

There you go:

And even Still has original Pirelli P zeros 225/45/16 tyres.

You're not wrong there and we've suffered the jokes long enough from them. When Alan first joined a ford club they nick named 'Blue Peter'. Instead of spending

That`s an awful lot of money for the oval badge even though it is an Iconic car, I always think it sad that a car and particularly a performance car is not used for what it was intended, and yes I`ll take the Ferrari any day
