Ive decided I want to get an Escort Cabriolet!

 

Im just tryna get all the info first though, am I right in thinkin that the 130bhp version started on a 98-R plate?

 

Also, does anyone know the insurance group? Ive been told it is group 13 but my mates Parkersw guide says group 15?

 

Ive got a few sums to do but IDEALLY Id like to keep my Si AND get the cabby :suprise: Id drive the cabby for 6 months (summer) and the Si for 6 months (winter), has anyone got any info on special kinds of insurance policies that will allow me to do this?

dunno on insurance n that mate co i couldnt do it, but could have had another car on another policy real cheap, u can have limited mileage, and do it that way and knock the cover down to fire and theft only for the months it wont b on the road

Red ones are rare as rocking horse Shite mate!!!!

ive seen a red mk6 cabby for sale not far from me for about £4500 i think, i wish i had one for the summer.

Jordan; My mates got an M reg cab. Mk5b like mine. His is a 130bhp model, and i think it's group 13, not sure though...

cheaper to buy a chainsaw and some tarpaulin, make your own convertable.

 

simply reattach the roof on during the cold winter month, using nails and a glue gun.

cut the roof off yours mate n you have a red cabby, then in the winter, cellatape it back on....this crazy idea was brought to you by Astra Si Productions ©opyright Act 2003
