I was at that rally we stayed in the same motel as the Masport team.
 

Just watched the youtube clip.
Amazing how English we all sounded 35 years ago.
These days we sound so American.
 
 

With all the hype on our Ford Escort,
every time I see a wanted to buy Ford Escort any condition advertisement
I look to see how long they have been a member of that forum
and most of the time its like 3 days or a week , I am very sceptical on these people,
These might be your exporters looking to fill their container UK bound.

Nukem
Just downloaded it from youtube yes it was just like that when I was down there, long hair tight pants body shirts and dust, loved it.

Hey... couldn't see even one four door Escort in that video! No wonder the two doors are the preferred Escort!  

Here is one of your W.A. cars on UK ebay selling from South Aust.
type this in to ebay search 231596068716
buy it now 6900 pounds or just $13903.00
4 UK bids at the moment sitting at 2100 pounds or $4231.00

Well, my RS is gonna end in WA later this year, so there is gonna be an addition to the scene there 
 
As for the age thing mentioned earlier, I do feel a little out of place being a younger guy compared to most Escort owners (I'm now 27), along with the fact I'm single without children, while at meets/shows everyone is usually married and well into theirs 30s. 

Jeez, judging by this website, the South Africans are losing all of their classic Fords at an alarming rate too!

Looks to be in very good nick. What would it be worth? Going on the pic's alone, I would say 15-17 G's.

Wow! really? What would you offer for mine then? 20K and it's yours lol.
