I'm glad I've never seen an Escort with a rotor in it, I think I would cry if I did! :

SR's and CA's are a fairly common conversion done on Escorts, I just met a bloke the other day with a 400rwhp (approx.) SR in his MK2.

Not sure if I've seen a rotary Escort but they are in everything, I've seen Mk1 Cortina & Austin Healey Sprite with rotary engines
