egg Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Let's expand on that - maybe put it up for £1995 and try and 'achieve' at least £1750 in estate agent speak. But I may be way off beam.... Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egg Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Get ya wallet out Just gotta find the right Ford licker! Here we have a rare example in xxx yellow including the much sought after rear spoiler. Car was exhibited at Stowe House in July 2018 and has been subject to a thorough restoration but could be improved further blah blah blah alf892 and Christine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrumpiusMaximus Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 More probably with Ford Scene Tax. But I know the square root of fuck all about Ford prices. EDIT: Egg said £2,000. That’s the price I had in my head. Suspect with strategic advert you could get more... They do have a proper following. Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coalnotdole Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Oooh! If I wasn't totally oversubscribed with cars at the moment and had actually finished the Capri I would be very tempted. Seemed a tidy little motor from the brief fling around the field I had in it at the sussex meet. GLWTPS Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UltraWomble Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Pretty lovely. If my mother in law dies quite soon I'll be knocking on your door with some grubby £20's in a roll.She is however in very rude health so I expect that this will not happen before someone else has beaten me to it.

SmokinWaffle Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 It's from the 1980's and has a Ford badge on it, therefore I value it (based on what I've seen) at somewhere around eleventy billion pounds. In all seriousness, 2k or so is probably a good shout. LightBulbFun 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BorniteIdentity Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I would love to own this. It’d mean denying my kids Christmas and the Vatman his Christmas bonus - but nonetheless a very tempting prospect. egg, Christine and alf892 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiC Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I would love to own this too. No idea why but I'd love to buzz around Bristol in it. Unfortunately two problems. One is that it'll probably get nicked around Bristol. Two is that my neighbour gets shirty when I have too many cars. As we're wanting to move, probably best I don't agrivate him further.

barmatt Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 Not sure where you are but I'd be tempted to put it in ACA, their first classic auction is the 26th of Jan. 2-3K seems to be the going rate recently for a mk1. https://angliacarauctions.co.uk/classic/saturday-26th-january-2019/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D Spares & Tyres Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 I am toying with the idea of selling this Fiesta... I don't use it ,and it's taking up valuable space in my workshop . It does need the lower half and bonnet painting properly , it has wads of history from basically one previous owner. It's up and running , presentable , and I wouldn't hesitate driving it anywhere . ( Well I would ,as its a noisy little shitbox) What do you think I would get for it ? Old Fiesta? Worth nothing really. I would give you £300 if you can deliver. That's a good price mate.

Zelandeth Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 It's got to be worth at least a couple of grand. It's not an XR2, it's in a good colour, it's mechanically and structurally sound, and early Fiestas have been desirable for a few years now, Ford tax nonwithstanding. Don't suppose you'd like to swap it for a Lada... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlabamaShrimp Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Can't I just borrow this very very long term I'll never understand the strangeness that is scene tax on Ford and VW. I suppose it can be a good thing as at least it means you can get the bits. I'm sure it'll be easy to sell even at around £2000. Shame the fate of so many lately hasn't been rust but the stupid engine change lowering lot. Christine 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fordperv Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Shame the fate of so many lately hasn't been rust but the stupid engine change lowering lot.I also am confused by scene tax. I can appreciate doing it to a car that requires quite a bit of work to put back on road so by the modifying route it gets saved, but I couldn't do it to a decent motor, I've seen quite a few mint low mileage cars destroyed by new owners "improving" them and subsequently smashing them up AlabamaShrimp 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second hand original parts are shit cheap.Currently someone on the forum is selling 4x standard 17" wheels with tyres for £50. Unfortunately they're over near Blackpool or I'd have them.
