	Reading the thread about what makes a car 'Retro' or 'Classic', has got me thinking. I love Fords from the 1980s and 1990s - probably largely due to running a fair few back in the day and many of my family also ran them. I consider them to be more 'Retro' than classic. What do you think? Here are a few which have caught my eye for sale at the moment, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Eclipse-special-edition-OFFERS-WILL-BE-CONSIDERD-/140816938987?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item20c957f7eb#ht_1107wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1985-Ford-Escort-RS-TURBO-SERIES-1-1600-CVH-CONCOURSE-2-1-2dr-/160774353175?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item256ee5f117 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-1-3L-Mk3-3-Door-/160862734127?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25742a872f www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-FORD-ESCORT-GL-PLUS-SILVER-MK4-Nice-Classic-Ford-/110931509358?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item19d408806e#ht_500wt_1205 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1990-Ford-Escort-1-4-GL-/160858513047?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2573ea1e97#ht_1041wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-FORD-SIERRA-GHIA-I-AUTO-SILVER-LOW-MILES-NEW-MOT-NO-RESERVE-/261079484847?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item3cc98cc9af#ht_1683wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1982-Ford-Cortina-MK5-1-6-L-GENUINE-34K-4dr-/370622756721?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item564ad67771 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-Ghia-5dr-19-000-miles-garaged-as-new-PETROL-MANUAL-1991-H-/290757876999?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item43b2851d07#ht_1086wt_1188 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1988-FORD-FIESTA-XR2-WHITE-LOW-LOW-MILEAGE-/280939935620?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4169533784#ht_500wt_1205 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/fiesta-xr2i-/170891142843?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item27c9e7e6bb#ht_500wt_1205 www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1984-FORD-ORION-GHIA-AUTO-WHITE-ONLY-20K-FROM-NEW-VERY-RARE-OPPORTUNITY-/190713131411?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item2c67637193#ht_26421wt_1188 www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C260841 www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C311208 www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C304909 www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C323285 www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C322685 I'd best stop there.......but I do love a Ford from this period.......

	I've had pretty much all those cars, and they were cool 10 years ago (especially the rear wheel drive ones). That said, i bought stuff like that because you got a lot of car for the money (sierra) or a car with a lot potential to put your own stamp on for pocket money (escorts/orions). That cortina seven down on the list is going for at least double what it's worth though.
