Looks amazing ! Nice price mind.

But it also hasn’t fitted power steering. Or ABS. Or traction control. Or a brake servo . . . Really ?

£300k puts the Escort in Ferrari, Maclaren, Lambo territory...
Should be able to get an original mk1 for £30-50k!

i can remember being able to get a tidy one for £300

If you want an amazing retro Escort with modern driving experience why wouldnt you go to MST. Saw this and thought that makes the MST Escorts look affordable.

People have too much money IMHO.
Back in the day, paying 200.000 for an Escort would be a joke.
Whats next in line? Max mods from the early 2000s with loudspeakers and screens all around?

Agree. RS 2000 was £1586.00 new in 1973, inflate that and it's about 18k A lot of money in 1973 but......

I kinda like it.

Can't afford it - but if I was a multi-squillionaire and that 300k was "down the back of the sofa" money then I'd buy one.
