Realistic rather than cheap I'd say. It is due a belts service and water pump change, and at that age it has either had a recent head gasket and general top-end overhaul not mentioned in the history, or is due one. The chain between the two camshafts, its tensioner, and the camshaft sprockets, also need inspection and regular replacement on the S2, as when that lot wear out you need to replace both camshafts, which is pricey.I would want to see pictures of the inside of the sills before going a long way to view. The advert saying they've been rubbed down and repainted is all well and good if they had external stone chips where surface rust had started, but the sills very often rot from the inside out.

This may be more suited to the Barges 1-5 thread, but this seems like an utter bargain

The Mk3 Escort really, to most people I would say, has none of these things. Particularly the boggo spec one quoted pages back.
It was a 1.6 Ghia, which would make it a top of the range model would it not? With similar performance to the XR, just less sportily focused.So with a 25 bhp deficiet to the XR3i I very much doubt it had similar performance.

very interesting car, prefer the crinklier S1.That example is a condition-basket-case though.

Probably needs a lot spending on it but I do quite like the look of these old 450 SLC's £4,500

Fantastic. I love the SLC, and I love 70s brown and velour. I'm glad it's a long way from me because otherwise I might have taken a punt on it, and these can be very expensive follies. http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C746510
