The only reason its for sale is to buy vicky something a bit better for her own insurance, she uses the ST but has to start somewhere to gain her own no claims discount, the little ka i bought her has been ok for the past 8 month, but i only paid £500 for it and the bodywork is not the best, the RS is a no no for insurance for someone with no no claims, i mean if her insurance company wont insure a sport ka for her what chance the escort.
If i had to the st could be sold, i could keep the RS and buy vicky something and pocket some cash, I have had a lot of people wanting to swap and px for the RS but they have been cars that i can not insure for vicky.
Ideally a mk6 1.4 fiesta or newer ford ka would be her choice, the insurance for the 1.4 fez was about £340 tpft, not to bad.

I would say the ST is better at handling, but standard the cars have similar performance 0-60, 8.3 secs. max speed 133 mph. 0-100, 22.2 secs.
You have to remember that the escort is 15 years old. The gearbox is stronger than the STs, MTX75 box is good. Chain driven cams, discs alround, I bought a 4x4 version before the 2 wheel drive and sold it with 129,000 miles on the clock and all it cost me was new diff bearings, I bought a 2 wheel drive car because my cousin used to rally one in grp n, and apart from bottom arms the car never broke. He still rallies an escort, today i popped over the garage to see our ian and the car was there for a service,
Proper rally car, 200bhp through the rear wheels, 2.0 16 valve on throttle boddies and cams, any one want to sponsor it. Pics aint to good only had my phone.

Adam can't you insure the RS under classic policy now?
That's a nice car. Apart from the wheels. Where's the originals gone Tez?
The photo Micky put up is the Sport yes.

Theres lots of things with classic insurance though...some general rules...
Not your primary car
Up to 6000miles
Kept locked up
Own another car that is insured in your name (motobike and public tranport for commuting dont count)
And loads of other weird and wonderful things lik £15K+
Obviously these are just general and companies will have their own policies
