Ford escort 15,000 miles

Z.thumb.jpg.cece2bf8f561db15396304b3654d62e8.jpg

"12 months MOT

Selling on behalf of my father in law who has had this in his barn. He is selling some of his cars and this is one of them that I think is amazing. It’s only done 15,000 miles and it feels like getting into a brand new car from the 90’s 

No rust at all and all the arches and sills are completely like new. I’m no expert on these cars but It seems as good as a new car to me."

Current bid: £920.00 Reserve not met

Buy it now Price: £3,500

I like it, but not enough to justify £3.5k on it.

"I purchased this in 2017 to add to my collection for the Mini museum that I am planning. Its been sat at my painters for the last 2 years well in that time its had a brand new front end and the roof smoothed, the sides have also begun to be filled and smoothed (this will need redoing) I do have all the doors also, which are all good."

"This needs painting and putting together, would of course make a wonderful business."

Oh my god, it might actually be a reasonably priced car!

Where's the catch???

The difference is that that would've been £500 based on age and general desirability until recently. It might be worth that now, but it's a weird one. Not many people want a 2001 Ford Focus even at low mileage. The target market is surely people like us

I've been on the lookout for a 2.0 petrol non-ST170 and they don't come up often, everyone bought 1.6s at the time I think.

I agree, I think seller knows they're rare and getting rarer, and could well have an Escort-style following before long.

It's a great colour, good spec and looks tidy enough, at least on top. Probably a few gremlins with that mileage though, but nothing that ForeSkin couldn't sort.

I agree, I think it looks like a decent car. I just meant that until recently, any X-reg Focus was a very hard sell at £1500

£460 S500, spares or repair but seller doesn't specify the things wrong with it.

The things wrong:
1. OSF does not exist 
2. Headlamp resembles B&W chicken breast in fog 
3. Suspension depressed
4. Space saver on NSR (new buyer can spend longer being shit) 
5. Yes

Does anyone need an upside down Corsa here? If so, you're in luck

Cheaper option is to buy one that's the right way up and just tilt your head a bit

So basically an Oz one, wouldn't that make it a Holden Barina? Haha.

That one's been on the bay for a while now. BDs are brilliant cars and massively underrated in general. However, the fella's deluded if he thinks he'll get anywhere near 2.3k for that particular example.

Perkins 4236 conversion? 
 

it may have been re-bodied at some point in its life but retained the original chassis 

That may be true, but if it has had a different body, a different interior and a different engine fitted, if memory serves it no longer has enough points on the DVLA score system to keep its original identity.

Also a 4.236 makes about 75 bhp and is flat out at about 3,000 rpm so that is going to be slow AF.  Although it'd probably drive up a vertical cliff in low range.

Ad states its a 300tdi which further suggests they've just stuck the three door's ID on a 90s five door.
