they are popular trackday weapons now, so good ones sell easily

quite how a 1.3 Escort can be worth more nowadays is quite beyond me

That's the "you can't go wrong with Fords" mantra of the ignorant motorist.

I thought my 'Lude was a steal for five large a couple or three years ago. My, how times have moved on!

With the squirt hysteria going down, I can see there being some tearfully cheap heavy metal for those who can deal with the running costs.

I mean, new Kiaundai or a tidyish (not so) old M-car for the same money as a smoker/runabout. Silly not to, really.
