In comparison to the UR, which is a proper pain in the arse.

yeah i have a 77 mk 2 escort with a 2.0 zetec fitted and rebuilding a mk 1 1300 GT..... parts availability is good and you can get pretty much anything... provided your willing to pay... but like everything else ultra rare items are silly money but a lot of stuff is starting to be reproduced.... as far as living with and using them theyre uncomfortable draughty noisy things but once you get it sideways on full opposite lock you forget all that... mines a bit ill at the moment... low oil pressure.. but id take a UR over it any day....
