I love that!  I had a blue 2000E at the end of 1982.  Gorgeous car.  I think it's safe to assume this one will need a heap of welding though.

Got any photos? The Corsair 2000E seems like a forgotten example of Ford's Executive series from the late 60's/early 70's, the most familiar ones being the Cortina 1600E and the Escort 1300E.

There's one poor photo of it in my Life of Shite thread.  You're right, it is very much a forgotten model.  Shame, because even the cheap old shed I had was lovely to drive.  I absolutely would have a go at that red one if I  any money.

Cheap Polo auto anyone? Looks like a Harlequin rep. Over on the blue.

200 notes and MOT until mid October. Scrap if not sold by tomorrow. Cheap little motor and looks quite solid for a 6N Polo.

Something funny going on there. It's been for sale in Bournemouth for a while at £2500, on the green site and ebay. Last time I saw it the listing had been altered to say CAR NOW NOT FOR SALE AS HAD SUFFERED MAJOR ENGINE FAILURE. WILL NEED NEW ENGINE OR REBUILD, or words to that effect. Either this guy definitely didn't just do '140 miles with no problems' and is telling fibs, or the previous owner didn't want to pay the ebay fees and cancelled the sale for spurious reasons when he got a cash offer.

Either way, I'd buy with caution, and bear in mind the current vendor probably bought it for £2k or less last week

It's also had some pretty crude welding done- I got some pics of it when it appeared a while back, happy to send them on to any interested parties.

We had this? Relisted due to last winner not showing up, I searched the thread for the item number but didn't find anything. If it's a repeat, sue me. :P

The way his advert says "as with everything i have its always up for sale at the right price" makes me think he keeps taking the ad down every time someone wins the auction and it doesn't make a figure he's happy with. Would be nice if he just put a reserve price on it. 🙃

Maybe the joke should go round the bidding community so that each time the car is relisted, the winning bid gets steadily lower!

Would be cheaper for me to buy that, swap the interiors between that and mine, and punt it on again. With a better advert I could probably make a profit...
