Nice little barn find

**Specialist RS** · 08-02-2010, 12:47 PM

well not quite a barn but stood in a garage for the past 5 years
1 owner from new 67K with full ford dealer service history
Series 1 Escort RS Turbo
all origonal paint,mint trim uncracked dash I was a little giddy when I puilled it out

story is the guy bought it when he was 17.5 years old,unfortunatley he blew the engine up 5 years ago and thats where its sat ever since
just got it back and on the lift to have as check around looks all good,does need a full under bonnet and underneath resto,but a cracking origonal car
will post photos when I have steam cleaned it off

the youth · 08-02-2010, 01:19 PM

nice , find, if you don't mind me asking how do you find about about these, presume it's your adverts or word of mouth from you being in the game 20 years..

bit like that barn find rs500 you found last year,what happened to that?

steve

kosman · 08-02-2010, 01:49 PM

with over 20 years in the game you get well known plus adverts in the major mags i get offered quite a few
as to the 500 I found that know has been fully restored and sitting alongside the other five 500s in a personal collection

no its RHD,the guy bought a brand new XR3i when he was 17 then 6 months later drove past his local Ford garage and saw this sat in the showroom so he went in and bought it
man i bet he was the dog gonads driving that around at such a young age

KSA-Cossie · 08-02-2010, 03:07 PM

darrenr1969 · 08-02-2010, 08:44 PM

I,ll tell you what makes a nice find,...when we find out how much it cost...if he shelled out 10k on it for example, it wouldn,t be such a find now would it !

darren what makes it a nice find is the fact that their is some of these cars still sitting about in peoples garages unrestored ,the cost is irrelevant really,its the excitment of finding them

cheers james

darrenr1969 · 08-02-2010, 09:18 PM

Thats your opinion James,in my opinion it would be a much nicer find if it was nice and cheap!

my opinion of "cheap" and your opinion of "cheap" will be a million miles away as I know the value of what I have found,
I think a mint uncracked 3 door cossie dash is worth a £1000 all day long BUT I guarantee you wont

~nomad~ · 08-02-2010, 10:13 PM

and i would agree with him, but if you can find someone moronic enough to buy it then fair play

Zetecfiesta · 08-02-2010, 10:25 PM

nice car!

STAFFY OWNER · 08-02-2010, 10:29 PM

Lovely car. Looks like it could be a minter with just a little bit of TLC.

Who bought the RS 500? Wouldn't be a certain RS 500 collector that sells RS spares from North Yorkshire would it

?

RSLUBBY · 08-02-2010, 10:38 PM

nice one

MikeR · 08-02-2010, 10:47 PM

Supply and demand guys, there aint many things like this left and if you want it then you pay what the market dictates, does it mean l would pay it? no but then it also doesnt mean it is not worth it.

I know where there is/was a 15k miles series 2 sat in a garage, the bloke would not sell a few years back though
