Really nice.

I wish Ford had the Cosworth pack here at the time. 4X4 and that engine would be really killer.

I drove one of those Escorts for six months, it was my company car at the time, but it was a regular 1.8 liter 16V Zetec, that was a great engine already. It was because of the Escort's influence that I bought my 2001 Ford Focus, with the very same engine. Still have the Focus. Ford for sure knows how to make a great car in small size.

Very crisp!

I saw a few 1:1's of this car when they were new

(The Marquis of Blandford had one and found infamy in it, when he was found slumped across the passenger seat, whacked outa his gourd on several substances..)

The insurance premiums were mile-high, too, as thieves targeted the cars for their ability to out-run the law. That kinda sounded the death-knell for them.

Lovely build. I really like it.
