there are lots of factors, i am looking hard into these at the moment but am still unsure

rareity - but there seem to be alot for sale at the moment
then again non that mileage, especially big turbo
colour - makes a difference ie white seem hard to sell but imperial and
auralis seem to command more
mods - some add to value some detere buyers
history - a must with any escort cosworth
condition - low mailes doesnt always mean good condition

so without more details its hard to say

15k what are you talking about
A big turbo with 21k in mint condition could see Ł20,000 to the right buyer-just look on the Automotive website but I would say at the very least 17k

You beat me to it lol
There are so many for sale at mo, but I bet most are shitters mate.
If its minty mint, lux trim. Big turbos dont come in Auralis. I reckon 19K at least.
Colur doesnt matter imo. never got the whole imperial blue commands more bollocks, there are enough racing pumas and focus RSs in that colour.

That was a ball park figure

I was going to say 18k but there are loads for sale at the mo, and that can bring the prices down.

personally I think you'd be waiting a LONG time to get Ł17K ++ but anything Ł15K - 17K for a quickish sale.

No one can say what they think its worth at all. How can anyone put a price on a car they havnt seen? It could be worth anything from around Ł10k-Ł20k+. Who knows.

21,000 miles? What are the chances that's genuine?

As against the chance that it's been either clocked or you can add 100000 to the total showing?

Think about it.

Firstly the car has only done 21k, every MOT backs this up also the HPI checks confirms the car has done only 2K in the last 5 years.
The car was originally owned by Mr Hendy (brian) Hendy Ford. The car has the oringal sales letter stating this . .

sorry not the best pics .

Id offering him Ł8k if that coachline and writting was still on it..


seriously though, its clean, but can never really tell how clean it is in a photo... Just as long as he has the documents to prove the low mileage, your looking at a worth while investment.


but if you buy, just get rid of that coachline and writting.

As above it's hard to tell without seeing in real life if it's a true minter, are you thinking he will take a low offer then or are you prepared to pay top dollar?

not bad money to be fair... if you look on automotiveunlimited.co.uk and some of the motors they have had and what they have gone for... for such a low mileage car, cant ask much less id say.
