The best Fords are British
>>14030200
>Implying
>>14030230
Australia only has the Falcon though
>>14030200
I don't know if EuroFords are really just British; I'm sure I heard somewhere that ford Germany had more of a roll in some of the greats than people really credit them for.. Also the engines are frequently American.
The cars themselves, though? Yeah, fuckin' GOAT.
>>14030387
euroford is pretty much all based in the UK
>>14030200
nice maverick "saloon"
>>14030409
which part of germany or belgium counts as the UK?
>>14030200
Yeah, but being the best bit of shit in a pile of shit isn't much of an achievement.
>>14030387
>Also the engines are frequently American.
Uh... no?
>Essex
>Pinto
>Kent
>Cologne
>etc
British and German
>tfw you will never own a Mk2 Escort
why live
>>14030488
weak cunts like you don't deserve life
>>14030488
MK2s are cheap. Get on it.
>tfw no mk2 Focus ST
>>14030200
Nope, that distinction goes to the original Mustang GT, followed closely by the XB Falcon
>>14030200
Back in the old days, Finland had Fords from UK and Germany both. When considering regular Fords, the German ones were better by a country mile. Off course Britain had the AVO-cars and Cosworths, but outside of that, crap.
>>14030502
>Cheap
you can easily spend £20k on one
even mk3 RS Turbos are starting to get pricey
>>14030516
Because German manufacturing is god tier and British manufacturing is shit. A (west, obviously) German-manufactured Lada would be unstoppable.
>>14030516
German Fords had better rust proofing I admit.
>>14030521
20k pound that has to be the mintest RS2000 in existance or a fully prepped rally car.
My old man just had his MK1 finished, I'm sure he spend more than that on it
I don't know the British to American ratio of these bad boys, but posting anyway because I like it.
>>14030596
Fully prepped ones are like £70k mate.
>>14030653
I know i've been out of the loop for a while but for a MK2? Cossie twin cam?
A regular old sedan or 2 door still has to be a good sight cheaper than a MK1
>>14030610
Ford subcontracted the GT40 to another manufacturer. The design was done by Eric Broadley, and most of the cars were built in the UK. So, basically British.
>>14030200
That's a funny way to spell German
>>14030671
Cheaper thank MK1s sure, but still not 'cheap'
I've seen four door Ghia's getting five figures.
the engine is ford
the chassis is lola
so its 50/50 american and europoor
>>14030596
Just checked. In Finland, Ford Escort BDA 2.0 historic rally car with FIA passport: 85000€
245hp in about 900kg car should make it go rather nicely.
>>14030679
This hurts
>>14030653
>>14030521
stop pulling numbers out of your arse la

subtle

ayy my mate bought a cossie powered mk2 rs2000 for 16k last year

Thingken of getting a 106 Rallye
They're turning into a fun meme investment

If those BDAs sound familiar to the younger guys, there is a reason. Toyota´s 4AGE could be considered a "tribute"-engine to the BDA(to a degree of an lawsuit if I remember right). Yep, AE86 was the Escort of Japan about decade and a half after the real deal.
>>14030771
AE86s are cheaper. Thankfully
>>14030768
i think a 205 is better in that regard. 306s and RS clios have been rock bottom for ages and people keep saying they're about to rocket but they never do.
>>14030768
I'd be looking at a 205 Rallye instead, with the 1.9 liter engine. Dual Weber carbs is a recipe for collector status.

Selling my '84 2.0S
>>14030874
182 Trophy prices have taken off recently
>>14030876
That might be a bit hard, because Peugeot made only 1000, 1.9L 205 rallyes, all for the German market.
>>14030876
>not the 1.3 rallye
y tho?
