They would delete it all before they even thought if it,unfortunately Franky boy it’s frowned upon to have a bit of a laugh and a bit of banter in case someone gets upset and starts to winge or cry as a lot of people on here haven’t a soh,yes it did get out of hand sometimes and get off topic a bit but then most of us don’t come on here much because of it hence it’s quite a boring place sometimes but it still has it’s good points,that’s wot my missus says about me
my mate who got his dosh for the lotus got a 57 k pay out on his mk1 lotus cortina two years back when it was nicked
He now has a MK 11 lotus which was always the better car of the two which was rebuilt ten years or so ago but still needed a bit of fettling here and there to make it mint,he is probably spending another 10 k to make it how it should be,we took it up to Bolton back in Feb to have a power steering kit put in as he had a serious cancer op last year and it will make it easier to park,they do them for Zeds cost is about £700 then we took it to a car trimmers in Wolverhampton for a new roof lining and new carpet,I think I might’ve matched the 260 original carpet so if anyone is interested I’ll put a separate thread up later.Going back to the car value bit I think sometimes people are jumping on the bandwagon asking stupid money for a pile of junk and ripping someone off that doesn’t really know bugger all about cars,if you’ve had the usual suspect fords back in the day from the 70s then like me and a few others you’d probably know every nut and bolt and the different welds in place although it might be the same model ie twin cam MK 1 Escort but it has welds in different places compared to a normal escort,useless bit of info there but unless you know the little details like that you can get stung,They we’re going for about 47 K 10 years ago,
Wots one worth now,my other mate has two of them,oh how we wish we kept some of the fords we had back in the 70 s
But saying that none of them get near a 240/260 for looks,driveability,reliability and class do they and like any 70 s car they are all rot boxes
