I always wanted an escort cosworth when I was at school, they were one of my 'school boy mush have cars' I could have bought a decent one instead of the vee, but tbh I just couldn't justify shelling out that much money on a car which at best will be 11 years old (the last ones are 1996)
I think that nowadays with an escort cos you'd always be worrying if it was going to be reliable, or start rusting away (as they do) plus so so many have been thrashed to death it's un true.
I'm not saying i'd never have an escort cos - I would do, as I am a massive fan, I just wouldn't have one now. I'd have one in the future say 10 years time or so (if there were any good examples left) and I could wrap it in cotton wool (you know the sort of cars I mean) i'd have one then.
Once i'd seen the press pics etc of the vee I knew I wanted one:approve: Tbh I don't care that it's not as fast as it should be (well, as some say) If I want to make it faster I can, it just costs a bit that's all.
At the end of the day, go for a drive of both & then go from there
