    Hi number 7, welcome to the forum.
    These cars are gaining in popularity all the time, so if you find a good one grab it with both hands.

    Hi Number 7,
    Welcome to the forum. You may find getting a 2 door a bit hard, as they're very popular with the rally boys Lol. If not there is a reasonable looking 4 door on Gumtree for 4.5K in Bris /gold coast area. Good luck with your search.
    Cheers,
    Len

    If your looking for a mint MK2 coupe, you'd better have a very healthy bank balance.
    You're competition is cashed up UK buyers exporting them to the homeland. You'd be lucky to get a mint one for under 10K.
     
    Look below for an wanted ad in your neck of the woods for Escort Coupes for an idea of the price they're now fetching.

    thanks for the advice for a new member guys.
    have been looking for the right one for a few years now so am aware of prices, have looked at ones from $5k to $40k got a bit sidetracked collecting other cars I used to own/couldn't afford when I was a kid.
    its not the price its finding the right car that's been looked after and the owner wants it to go to a good home and kept original,to make it harder i'm equally happy for a mk1 or mk2,
    cant get past the escort bug
