2.5 sport any good ones left around the 3k mark?

[pony]

They go right up to mega mega money, even a nice mk1 Mexico replica fully restored etc from a base model costs fortunes, search ford escort on eBay then click price highest 1st ..

So about £20k then ?

[polsta]

Highest price on eBay is 65k !

[pony]

That's the odd special edition

Most struggle to get above £20k unless I am looking at the wrong search ?

whats the only modification were the lines down on a original e30 ? i personally like the scorpion exhaust with the factory mtec 2 kits on the sports and think thats the only thing i would like done on a sport beside that everything need to be original no big alloys tints lights brows etc

[joeadams1979]

Guys do you know of any half desent e30 at 3200 i dont mind the odd rust patch and scratch but it needs to be as original as possible a desent 325 sport facelift

The old escort is an interesting scene, the more modified they are the more in demand and higher they are priced.

Be interesting to see if e30s go the same, M30 conversions for example could command a premuim over a standard M20. It's like this in the escort scene so why not with old BMs??

We shall see......

That's not quite right, however a 'modified' mk1 or 2 might be running an engine such as a millington diamond (Pony just google it) opposed to say a two a penny m52 (not that I'm knocking them as that is probably what I'll drop into my e30 eventually) in a 'modified' e30.

I could sell my bog standard 20,000 mile mk2 and pick up one running a YB for similar money...with the same amount of doors too

For instance - I have no idea when/who, but who or when was the last zoner to purchase a mint low milage original sport ???

dbel on here bought a white tech 2 with circa 30 odd thousand miles 6-9 months ago.

£13k i think.

It's definitely not right! Again, unmolested mint originals are what command the higher prices with old escorts, mk 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The FACT is that old Escorts are rather horrible nasty turds and with the exception of the handful of 'better' variants, are really nasty and decrepit to drive. If you want to use one, you don't really have much choice but to modify it and attempt to make it a more usable car.

All E30s (with the exception of 316 carb turds!) are pleasant usable cars if in good original condition. I would have no reservations about embarking on a 500 mile trek in a 316i. Faced with the same Journey in most Escorts would have me checking out train ticket prices

I drove to Plymouth and back in my mk2. Once with no heating in December, my wife was in a sleeping bag , it was freezing. Never again did that
