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.

Comes with a free Haynes BOL.

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.

May have been rebodied years ago before the rules were tightened up, Back in the 90s my dad built a “coiler” which was a cut down Range Rover chassis and running gear but with a heavily modified a series 1 body but it was retained the series 1 ID 
 

Even with those power figures ( which for the time were pretty reasonable) A 4236 was a popular conversion back in the day and quite sort after, I even remember people converting Range Rovers to the Perkins 4203 which my dad had fitted in his series 2a and is the only vehicle I have ever snapped a half shaft in and yes that was slow and you needed arms like Popeye to turn the steering wheel

My bad, it was mentioned earlier that it was registered as a 3.8 diesel which threw me a off
