Amazingly for a car that's for sale in Thurnscoe they haven't used the pictures from Crimestoppers!!

£12k in Cornwall. But my fave colour/interior spec. Even with the original fuel cap.

Daihatsu Person of Short Stature II, £3k.

This one's an auto so you get half a passenger seat, as opposed to none at all in the manual version.

Did the UK ever have a 1.1 GL?
I had a 1978 1.3GL and thought that was as smol as GLs came here.

Mind you - that one is in much better condition than mine when I sold it (in 1983)

I don't think so, but sure @adw1977 or someone else will confirm!

(don't think our GL's got interior mirror control either?)

Mine didn't. It did have a push button radio (that French one has a blank plate) and the analogue clock. My mate had the Ghia from the same year (whoooo) and he had a cassette tape (double whooo) and chrome wheel trims. Both had that beige seat cloth and both had the top of the back seat rot out where the sun was on it through the back windscreen.
They were OK cars tbh. Mine needed sills welding at four years old but, other than that, never spent much on it.

Glad he binned the 'BBS Rims' as they (imho) really look shite on that car.
Other than that - is this a realistic price for a semi-borked VW? (Honest question as I have no idea myself)

Wasn't there another name for the 307E?

[sheffcortinacentre]

The vans were Thames never ford (utilibreak you might be thinking of ) was i think one of this type conversion. The number varied for rhd/LHD & eng/weight spec too.

Interior controlled mirror was never standard on GL but was a factory fitted option, even on a lowly Popular Plus. 

There was never a 1.1 GL in the UK.

Markets like Greece and Italy with tax advantages for small engines probably got higher spec 1.1s, in fact there were 1.0 Escorts in some places.

Yup, Thames 5 cwt or 7 cwt vans. I knew Anglia wasn't right for them.

HFM?  I thought the only reason people bought 4 doors and LHD was because they can’t afford what they really want. £12000 is mental for what will always be not quite the car of your dreams.  And no, we didn’t get 1100 GL’s in the civilised World. But then Jonny Foreigners could get 1100 Cortina's too, in some markets due to punitive tax systems.

I get why people want Ford RS and Cosworth models but I just don’t understand why anyone would pay silly money for a bog standard Escort. I’ve seen rhd ones for around £20k. Ridiculous.

Escorts go down well in the rally world so they are silly money - esp. Mark 1 stuff. I don't get why people want to pay loads for the RS/XR2/XR3 types though - I guess there's an 'investment' perception there or, maybe, the 'retro' ponzi schemes?

That's a time warp version of mine (1994) only difference is I had full vinyl seats (oooh luvverly in the heat).
He's got it listed with a BIN of £2,500 too?

Good luck!

That one's got the 1.6HDi in it which is (imho) the best engine for the R55 Clubman (Euro 4 Clubman Diesel should be the 1560cc DV6, Euro 5 is the 1598cc BMW Diesel)
The autobox I have no clue about other that it bumps the car tax up from £20 to £225 and pulls the mpg down a bit.

£4,500 is also flying a bit of a kite. Ours is the same age as that one with more miles and I reckon I'd be pushed to get £1,500 if I was selling it.
