Ebay Tat Volume 2 - Sadly deceased.

That escort estate seems odd.Forget the illegal black numberplates,it's registered and taxed as a 1.3 and date of manufacture is 1982...very odd.

 

I think it's a Y reg, it possibly sat in a dealer showroom? Unless it's on the logbook and VIN of a MK3 Escort....

 

My guess is that the Mk3 estate was a bit late arriving so the Mk2 soldiered on alongside the newfangled FWD hatchbacks

Which is probably why he's bunged it on eBay rather than going through the insurance co. re undeclared mods :wink:

I dunno, my mum had a W plate MKIII Estate.

With a Vinyl roof.

And a 1.1 engine.

No they definately came out with the hatchbacks, I nearly bought a W reg Mark III Escort Estate as a first car. I think the 5 door may have been a few year later though, as I can't recall seeing one (a five door) older than an A reg.

Oh that's sad! But you know what's really sad? I've put it on my watch list, even though I'm 2000 miles away and wouldn't have anywhere to put it if I was still in Southport! (Think it's a pretty safe bet that Mrs Ramrod would veto it on the front drive where we lived, she wasn't happy about the Plymouth police car.)

Oh she adjusted to the copcar, Norm... eventually. I could feel the weight dropping off her when it went though, she was obviously relieved. Anyway, she's fairly safe from scabby old Bentleys where we are now. I can foresee a scabby old Cortina in the near future though... :wink:
