This really is an absolute bargain and needs to be bought ASAP. The car is the most perfect retro daily driver that I know. I think the problem is Chris (EscortGeezer) is a bit of a perfectionist ;D! The ding is nothing major, and could easily be sorted cheaply. Feel free to e-mail me and ask and questions as Chris doesn't get on here too often. I'll be more than happy to pass them on.  |

Now that is nice! If only it were a 2-door. Mind you, then it'd be triple the price! If I had sold the O-Mega, maybe... I'm |

Whats the advantage of having a 1300 running gear. (Sorry, Newbie)

1300 running gear, gives the car better bottom end acceleration, but hinders the top speed. thats the downside.

Whats the advantage of having a 1300 running gear. (Sorry, Newbie) Mostly the running gear is the same between the 1.3 and 1.6 - brakes, suspension etc but the 1.3 has a 3.9 ratio diff in the back axle which will give better acceleration than the 3.54 diff in a 1.6. So this should surprise a few boy racers away from the lights  Escortgeezer - you beat me to it  |

Is there a way to change the cubic capacity on the insurance quote, cos it registers as a 1300? I need to find how much thats going to be before I get involved  |

the car is still on the lo book as a1300 and i have never changed it, and i owned if for two years. the conversion was done before i purchased the car. The 1300 and 1600 blocks are identical, apart from the engine number. best way is to get a quote for the car as a 1300, then get one for a mk2 escort 4 dr 1600, popular or popular plus and that'll give u the info u need.
