Default What's it worth???? Escort Cosworth

Been offered a K-reg 44k blue escort cosworth for 12500. It has cloth trim, no aircon, no sunroof. It has all mot's to prove mileage and is in reasonably good condition. It runs 375bhp and this was done by bbr as they used to own it.

Anyone's thoughts would be appreciated.

No sunroof and blue do not go hand in hand to be totally honest.

I'm just saying that an Esc Cos without a sunroof would be a Motorsport version and these were only available in white.
Or it is a reshelled car.
Do you have a VIN number perhaps? I could then check what car it originally was/is.

That car is:

RHD 4wd
Pacifica Blue
Raven interior
Luxury
originally for the UK
build date 07/92

Now, I do find it strange to NOT have a sunroof to be totally honest my friend.

Raven interior?? Does that mean it should have leather?? Do all Lux models have sunroofs? What do lux models come with above standard? It has elec windows, central locking, radio with seperate equaliser.

Raven interior is just a cloth interior m8.
All Lux models DO have a sunroof so far as I know it.
NEVER ever seen a lux without a sunroof. Only Motorsport version didn't have one.

Now, your car is a VERY early model so that MIGHT explain it.

My cossie is imperial blue, without sunroof.. There is leather interior and aircon. I think it has been an option, to get car with or without the sunroof

Hope you understand my bad english

Markki, LHD are often different from UK, but if your car was RHD it should DEFO have a sunroof, Speedy G is correct...


TBH, the car you mention sounds dirt cheap...

As far as I know, even LHD ones should ALL have a sunroof bar the Motorsport ones.

sorry mate but you are wrong

mine is a fully original Mallard Green lux version, with leather and air con, and it does not have the sunroof either.
In France, the ones that had the sunroof where the ones without air con. HTH.
