Thanks, Yodi

You've got it advertised as an Escort Mexico
The eBay description says 1.1 engine
Mexico's were 1.6
Want to tell us a bit more about this "Mexico"?

Replica or not - that is one tidy machine !! Well done sir .

Reminds me of my youth, couple of my mates had a Mk1s back in the days when they were tuppence a bucket load - not like that now

Thanks wheels...

Sorry if my reply aboved seemed arsey but my advert was pretty good and descriptive I thought, so didn't get the dig about the Mexico part as it's all there....

But yes, its a great car but I'd love a kit car again something with power I've had about 10 Mk1 and MK2's now, love them and maybe one day I'll actually keep one

Before I built my MNR I went to see a Mk2 RS2000 with drop nose.
Literally the car of my dreams - it was in Edingburgh 400 mile round trip - I had the money with me to buy it.
I took it out for two test drives and then didn't buy it - I think i'd built it up so much in my mind over the years, thinking it was going to be some sort of rally car - but no, I'm afraid the Pinto didn't live up to my expectations - really burst my bubble.
( wished I'd bought it seeing what the prices are now - it had a solid shell )

Oh!!!!!!!! that is SO tasty. Sod it if its a replica. Who cares a fk. Aint got the cash, aint got the space, got too many cars already but.....

Thats well tasty.. I remember taking a genuine AVO out for a test drive in Bath back in the early 80's.. Scared the life out of me cause the seat was NOT bolted down.
This is one nice look Escort, ok a rep but but who cares. Good luck with the sale mate.

Thanks guys, im not prepared to sell it for cheap so it may stay in my garage a while longer

That looks fantastic, shame I can't afford it

1973 should be tax exempt too.

Does it really matter these days if it's a replica? It's a 2-door mk1 Escort - it's rare enough as it is. I'd far rather have a replica that's not seen much attention than a "Trigger's broom" original just because of what it says on the log book.

Chris I'm with you all the way on that, it's a Mk1 escort you can use

1973 isn't exempt though, 31.12.1972 and before are all tax exempt

Just out of interest, whats the rough guide price? I'm assuming the ebay price currently is to spark interest.....

Hi,

I started it at 99p as I knew it would go up naturally and it did, its got 201 watchers and 8 questions so far of which 2 are lame PX's

I'm probably going to let the auction run, but the price would be £6500-7000 and the £6500 would be an absolute minimum too

Thanks for the info.

Also out of my range I've always had a soft spot for Mk1's, and thats a lovely example.

Good luck!

Indeed a lovely example. I'll have one one day, but finances don't permit at the moment.

EDIT: ...unless you're interested in a straight swap for this? Unlikely I know, but have a look anyway.

Hi Chris,

Thanks mate but it's not for me, luckily my mum has an Audi A3 2.0 turbo convert, that I have my own key for and she travels 6 months of the year at least so the odd day I fancy roof down I can lol
