2x Ford Escorts, $2500 - Not the one you're thinking of! NMNA

In my usual List of Craig perusing (200-2500, pre 1975, cars by owner) I came across this piece of challenge fodder.

You'd be the first to bring one!

Well thats a neat starter pack of cool old cars.

I think those are Anglias. Not sure where the seller got 'Escort' out of that.

I'm wondering if I can ask to be banned from the for sale forums.  Way too many things I want to buy.

In reply to Stampie (FS) :

Buy an Anglia and then start watching Urchfab's "Mongrel" videos on Youtube.

According to good ol' Wikipedia, they're basically Anglia estates - so short front door, plus a horizontally split rear door. They're definitely weird.

One of those needs an ecoboost motor

Never heard of or seen one before, but i love it! Very cool. 

That is the first car Ford used the Escort name on. They were never marketed as Anglias. An Anglia is a 2 door sedan, a Prefect is a 4 door sedan, and an Escort is a 2 door wagon. All the same mechanicals.

Very cool. I learned something today.
