That blue saff looks nice. It just needs the standard lights fitting and the head light wipers sorting out.

After a ride in a stage I 3 door, that's what I bought!

Then I bought a 2wd Saph...and another one.

Then I bought another 2wd Saph...and another 3 door.

Then I bought a 4x4 Saph.

It felt like the Escos was the next logical step so bought a small turbo Escos.

Somewhere in between I started a 909 3 door build and converted a group N Escos to 2wd.

Long story short:

Should've kept both 3 doors as I loved those the most out of them all.

Also should have have kept all three 2wd's as they cost me next to nothing in those days and they would have fetched big money now...one of them was a black one, ex Ford company director.

Looks pretty good but I would want to find out the correct mileage, surely the owner could have found out through dvla?

I would also be questioning why it's on a G plate

Could have sat around unregistered for I while I guess, never seen a Crystal blue on a G before

cossynut2

My 2wd is a 1990 and its a G reg. 1988 on a G reg does seem a bit odd?

timster

I was under the impression that crystal blue saffs were all '88 cars? Thus being on an E registration?

It's Czech Mate

Build year has nowt to do with reg plate....apart from the reg cannot be earlier than the build year


Cars can sit around unregistered for years, we had a brand new d plate mk3 xr3i when I was a kid

Been messed with hence lack of detailed pics. 7.5k plus all the bits to put back to std. Lights etc.
also running std suspension and lack of engine and interior pics says it all.
Oh and the roof aerial.....😞

I guess that is why near standard cars are going for good money.

This was mine last year.

Had it advertised on here, I bought it cheap & sold it cheap as it had been written off TWICE & was originally RED!!

I sold it for Ł4000 with a new Mot needing some TLC.

Never a Ł7750 car more like Ł5000 IMO.

Thing is the interior is MINT!

A good usable cat but that's it.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

So is it a cat d cat c?

costina

iTrader: (1)

did i miss the interior pics James?

James Porter

iTrader: (1)

No mate he's not put any up.

Maybe it's not the same trim, not sure.

Haven't read the whole thread but Daniel Betty is selling a 2wd saff, top top spec with all the best bits on it for Ł12k Ono which is a steal imo

It's Czech Mate

That car is a fucking beauty

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Cheers for that info mate, although it looks nice, something didn't seem quite right about it.

Question - Do the rough ones actually sell for the money they are advertised for?

james kiely

iTrader: (5)

why are you thinking of seling paul

cossynut2

Excuse my ignorance but how can a car be written off twice and still be road legal ?

James Porter

iTrader: (1)

If I remember correctly it's had 2 total loss claims against it.

I believe cat C is regarded as a total loss but doesn't mean it can't go back on the road.

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

dear god I wouldnt pay scrap value for it

cossynut2

If its been written off twice it should have been scrapped!!

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

Well dont know about that but it should be declared on the advert at least

Here's the ad from when I had it for sale.

iTrader: (1)

The price is a bit different to when you sold it James.

James Porter

iTrader: (1)

That's all I see it worth, even now Ł5k tops.

It'd be a great doner car or daily driver but that's it.

gjh

Be good to put the running gear in this, but not at over 7k

Zetec_mk4_XR3i

Wonder if the seller knows the history?!

James Porter

iTrader: (1)

He does mate.

If I'm honest I bought it as a doner car, decided not to use it & put it back up for sale.

As it was a cheapy I didn't bother doing a HPI check until someone pointed out to me that it was on the hit list.

Hence why I lowered the price.

Sold it for Ł4k last year but the minute it went I wished I'd kept it as a daily!

Cos500

E and early F plate only, pretty sure only 400 or so were made in that colour.
Might find a genuine G if late registration.

chris cdti

That's looks more like Tasman Blue than crystal blue, prob been shelled into a 2000e

jaiscossie

To think I struggled to get Ł7500 for this three and a bit years back, was a stunning car and so genuine,

Investment wise the Escort *could* prove a better buy (?) but for me ?

Aston please !

gcfcos

Driven quite a few now, handle much better than the saph but strangely even the 380bhp one I drove the powers real progressive and u don't seem to get the kick in the back like u do in a saph. Look awesome though and everyone stares at u lol

jc2000e

WOW stunninnnng surely 12k motor these days

Mike1

Handle better or grip better?

Jay,

iTrader: (4)

I would say the escoz handles worse than a saff and the 3 door worse than the escoz and many have said before but they all handle like a sack of shite free falling down a sky slope
