I saw this on Ebay, you might have seen it but just incase you hadn't;

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1994-FORD-ESCO...QQcmdZViewItem

Seems a good car, at first I thought something was dodgy but seems genuine enough.

what sort of money is that car worth in that condition? how much do you think it would have to be brought for for it to actually be an investment?

so tempting, could sell the mrs's car

I keep watching the Cosworths for sale on Auto trader and Ebay, and I reckon this would realistically be worth about £11-12k maximum.

Most of the Escorts on Auto Trader that are £14k+ have been on there for at least 6 months or more...

Nice car though, a number 2 would be a nice collectors edition but its still a well used model, not a low mileage jobby.

Paul.

guys ,i saved it, got it for what i think a good £, yeah it needs a few bits and bobs done, what 75k car does not? but its all orignal, what with being a one owner & all the fsh with it, it was worth saving.

the guy was no picasso with a paint can, thats for sure, and dent masters will be gettin a few beers out of me, but hey ho it will be useable car very soon, never goan be a concourse queen

heard that 001 has been written off so going to do my best to do the monte owners proud, and no doubt will be seeking your expert advice guys

They are Group-A OZ magnesium wheels in 8x18 which are basically bigger versions of the original Monte wheels and are hidously expensive and a fooker to maintain

But worth it IMO

they are the biz those wheels, lucky i have a spare set of montes from yonks ago that nobody wanted, 066, did not work out, and in the end it would have been too good to use on a regular basis, sum lucky bugger will get it though!
