Well this can't be right, that's practically giving it away.

Lockwood coloured dials! :laughing:
The 90's at it's best/worst, tbh I wish I had a spare grand, bit of a tidy up and you could make a few quid off that.
At Ford Fair 2015, great stand in the Paddock and lots of interest.
Will be at Seighford (nr Stafford) tomorrow (16 Aug.), will take the RS 2000 and trying to persuade the missus to bring the Clio.
If anyone is going - look us up.

It was only a 1.3 but even so, the retro scene kids pay silly money for them now.
It pretty much looked like this, just tattier.

Did you see xr2 in my above link ?
Yep, if we knew then what we know now we'd have been buying as many old Fords for peanuts as we could and sitting on them, be f*cking minted by now.
As long you had somewhere dry to store them, otherwise they'd just be piles of rust by now, but it was only 10 years ago they being flogged for £300 quid as no f*cker wanted them.

Dude i sold my MK2 Mex for £400, would be worth £20k now.
Im still selling bits off of my MK2 XR2 that i broke up 4 years ago.
That's life.
F*cking hell i'd be crying if I let a Mexico go for peanuts, but if we knew what cars were going to be future classics we'd be physics, rich f*cking physics!
For some reason I haven't looked in this thread until now... Here is my old car I sold last year
Nice, what did it fetch if you don't mind me asking?

Whichever has fuel
My father in law scrapped (for 25 quid iirc) a lotus Cortina.
I'll get a picture of it next time im up his house. Silly old sod.
It wouldn't start one morning so he towed it to the scrapper. Went out and bought a brand new 1892 XR3.
Not bad for a man with zero interest in cars.
I bet the scrapper put a for sale sign on it and was laughing his arse off counting his money at the end of the week.

I'm not sure they were worth anything back then were they?
I think even back then people knew the Lotus Cortina was the desirable model, well you'd hope so, I couldn't bare the thought of it going in the crusher, the MK1's go for £50k these days.

Exhaust on the xr2 looks w**k. It's all about the outward rolled tips!

Was out walking past with the dog yesterday and it was sitting there as clean as a whistle.
Looks brand new, he's spent some money on bodywork and paint to get it looking like that.
Saw an ST in this colour today, looks so good in the flesh.

I can have a go at this too. These are the Fords that I currently own...
First off is this MIGHTY 1.4 Ford Escort Equipe (no it's not an Orion, they changed the naming convention in 1993). Was in the same family all it's life and has done about 70k. I had one of these as my first car and had to have another. One day I will get round to restoring it and fitting a naughty engine.
I am also currently rebuilding this MK5 RS2000 stage rally car. I've owned it about three years. It looked like this when I bought it:
I didn't like the wheel arch extensions, and it is getting some upgrades, so it currently looks like this:
I also own all this:
Which used to be this; an Escort F2 Kit Car. I have a lot of work ahead of me:
