Worth £500 to strip to be honest. Not worth putting back on the road again. 

There is no point.

Gearbox is probably fine and only going into limp mode as the abs module is showing a fault. Most modern autos need to speak to the ECU and ABS to function properly. ECU to get engine load measurements, ABS for speed and steering angle. Without it, it trips itself into limp mode. 

You're probably better off putting this in the eBay thread than making a new thread.

Front end is like the style of the Phantom but doesn’t look quite right. Grill for example is a bit tall and more like an older generation Royce. Dash is also older style, maybe Silver Spirit, however 2013 registration would be consistent with a Phantom and too new for a rebodied Silver Spirit.

I can't believe they took the pics while actually in service at a funeral.....🥴

Powershift gearbox... of course it will just be the ABS sensor... 🤣

You can't say its the gearbox until the codes are scanned. Given the traction control/abs warning there is a good possibility its not the box, despite it being a Powershift.

The Ghia looks a bit strange without the rear wiper. When did they start fitting those? We had a D reg 1.4L in the family and that definitely had a rear wiper.

September 1983 as standard on GL and Ghia, but they were available as an option before then.

And 1000 cc Kadetts, 1300 Mk III Capris, the terrible Astra G 1.2 Eco...

We had 1300 Mk III Capris in the UK.

That could have been such a good car , better than an X3 and the VAG offerings. The beginning of the end for Subaru in the U.K.

I think the salient word you use is until. 

There's no point assuming the blood coming out of your arse is cancer, until, you've been seen by a specialist. Could be IBS, brought on by the stress of owning a powershift gearbox. 

(weird analogy I know, but hey)

Not wrong at all: Escorts should be base or be fast. 
“Escort” and “Ghia” together makes no sense.

It’s such a minor job they didn’t have time to replace the ABS sensor. 👍
