Ford Cortina TC-TF/Escort 2.0 Litre

Prices pushing past $30,000 serve to confirm the popularity and also scarcity of XLE250 Cortinas. It is easier to grab a lower-spec 3.3-litre XL, but even these in TC-TD spec are nudging $20K.

Post-1976 TE-TF versions came with a more angular body but the same Falcon-sourced mechanical components. These generally are cheaper, with TE GLs in ordinary condition costing $10-12,000 and really good 4.1-litre Ghias reaching $20,000.

| Buyer's Guide: Ford Escort 2.0-litre

Locally built 2.0-litre Escorts rusted rapidly and are scarce, with vans seemingly more plentiful and affordable than sedans. Rust under the vinyl roof sent many an Escort Ghia to the crusher, so restored or excellent original survivors now exceed $20,000.

The uniquely Australian RS2000 four-door maintains strong demand and excellent cars make $30,000.
