Very sad seeing that article 😪

Why the sadness ? Because you sold yours ?

Not only read it, I used to own that actual car! In the photos it's displaying a personal plate of the then owner ( who put the cat back exhaust on ). I know the original reg, but won't print it for privacy reasons. The car is well known on this forum. I managed to purchase a copy of the original magazine, and left it in the car when I part exchanged it.

I spent a lot of time either being pushed down the road or chasing this car down the road.

Mark who owned the car sold it to move on to a GSF. Since then he’s had some very shut luck. I’ll say no more 😢

Hi Flytvr. Yes, I have heard, hence my avoidance of details.

I remember that car well, Mark too and his GSF, lovely bloke and well wishes being sent.......I have also heard from a Japanese friend that they reckon the next five years will see the ISF gain in value, they estimate around 50 UK cars will become collectible......the future is likely to be the same as history (ie the mark I escort) not the best escort produced but the one everyone wishes they kept 😉......time will tell but prices don’t seem to budge much on a good example in the five years ownership I’ve had with mine.
