Try Ad mag, ebay, nottingham evening post, derby evening paper, if not ring around scrap yards ie, albert looms.
If none in Derby look in Nottingham area, it's not that far away.
Good luck.

think cortina
so much more you can use. read the book and you will see all you really need from an escort is the axle, and perhaps engine....

There must be a car auction in Derby - generally a cheap source of Sierras, may occassionally get some escorts or cortinas going through - it is
unlikely that a trader would do anything else with one if taken in part exchange

Monkee,
You sure you don't want only a Mk1 or 2 Escort?
The Mk3 were fwd and I've read on here the only thing the engine is good for is as an anchor!

Don't just limit yourself to the local area, we couldn't find an escort in Bradford an ended up travelling over 200 miles to get ours.
£50 for the car and an interesting drive home.

Joel - it's cheaper to buy cars the on other nights. Last time I was at Premier on a Wednesday the auctioneer kept saying things like
"come on, we can get twice that tomorrow at banger night", and he was right, I went back the night after to collect my purchase and saw
some go through again at much higher prices!
