Escos vs P1
Not another one of those threads....
Getting itchy car feet again and cant decide what to go for next.
Escort Cossie or a P1 / Sti V ltd 555
Trying to weigh up the pros and cons of both got this far...
Escos Pros:
Rare
Highly Tuneable
Look Fantastic
Lots of nice examples about
Cons:
Expensive to buy
Old
Thieves/Jelous Tw@ts favourite target
P1 Pros:
Rare ( in a specials sense)
Fast from standard
Better prices than Escos
Newer
Cons:
Expensive to run
As above
The misses likes the Escos more I like the P1 more :|
Anyone had both? Lucky b`stards

Had a P1 for 4 years never had a escosth although i always wanted one when i was younger. If youre after the P1 you can pick up full history standard with subaru warranty still. The cosworths will be around 10 years old plus by now and wont have a manufacture warranty. Standard the P1 would win hands down IMHO

I would prefer the Escort Cosworth - the standard Cosworth looks a peach i think. The P1 has not done it for me like the 22B did - which would be my choice out of the 2. Or a STI 5 Type R i would have over a P1 ????
Personal preferance though - all great cars in there own right, but in 10-15 years time, picture the scene in the Pub chatting away talking about legendary cars - i think the Escort ownership would be a more memorable claim than the P1 ???

Or, to really tip the scales, how about a SKYLINE GTR??? If your looking at mint condition escos and P1's your budget must be £15k-20k. That should get you a tidy GTR with stupid performance and equally as rare as the escos

Thanks for the replies.
Skyline would be a push to fit in my garage
It wont be used everyday as I get a lift to work.
Budget 12k ish
Im swaying towards the P1 or similar the more I think about it.
