Apologies for the lack of posts from my end lately – been quite busy with other things, though I have been hammering out a few articles in the back of my mind for eventual submission to the blog, and today’s mini-update somewhat relates to one of them.

here we have a tidy little “Series 2″ (or Mk4) Escort RS turbo, nice car ‘n all, but upon closer inspection the price is enough to give anyone a heart attack. And that’s pretty much it; I’ve never really understood what makes ’80s “European” Fords any more desirable than their Aussie or Japanese counterparts, but I can tell you now if I tried selling my TX3 for a similar amount I’d probably get laughed off the face of the earth.
Silliness and bullshit aside, stay tuned for a new ’80s turbo talk article in the coming week(s). By now you’ve most likely guessed what it’ll be about!

these are nice cars, many many yrs ago i missed a chance to owning a mk3 escort, that was tidy like you wouldnt beleave, but even back then said person wanted abit to much ( it was only a n/a version but meh ) dont see very many of them kicking around in NZ
yup, but stuff paying $12k for what is essentially an English BD Familia. it’s weird how some people have this mentality that “just because it’s European that means it’s worth heaps more”…
I’d far prefer the XR3i over this, those CVH engines really aren’t the best and the exposed cambelt really leads to a short lifespan. It’s cool to have though, much like having a Sierra Cosworth, even though some of the Japanese cars could be considered better.
