Completely overpriced but looks like the seller is open for offers.

 

 

Question is how much effort vs electric wizardry is needed to make it a daily. 
 

I suspect seller was paid to remove it or paid a lowball scrap price for it. 
 

Depending on how “desperate “ he is to move it on the price could be interesting. 
 

I like its modern ugly shape, especially the rear glass. 
Interior looks both comfortable and clean.

Yeah, 500 quid might be more appropriate. There is nothing special about an Acclaim, just lower end everyday transportation. At least parts should be fairly easy to get still.

& Still the most unsort after spec, not even a good shell in it's favour.

But it is "soiled in the right places" according to the seller's description!

Trouble is, it's not original either.  1.3 engine but interior from a 2.8i.  What's the point of that?  The small number of people who would actually want a 1.3 Capri (probably all on here!) would surely want it original.

Thing is, is it defiantly soiled and is this sort after? Where they soiled when knew?

The number of these bastards that flaked under warranty was crazy. In the end the buyers were offered refunds of the uplift to chrome plus brand new painted ones with new tyres to make it go away.

yes, it's in a horrible no-mans land now, it's hard to know who would want to buy this, but 'because Ford', someone might!

I looked it up on wiki, and that 3 litre V6 Mitsubishi engine, assuming it is the 12v version, produces.....140bhp!

Looks a bit like leaky hydragas.

Potentially more than a waft.

Have we had this yet?

The level of bullshit in the description is fantastic.  I've had a diesel Fourtrak and the idea that a 2.8 Daihatsu engine "purrs like a Lamborghini" is hysterical.

Yeah, I remembered seeing it somewhere before. Guess my 500 quid estimate was spot on!
