Hi guys!

Just wanted a bit of help. I've been a ford man all my life after trying the French (Clio 1.8 16v) but have come back to the trusty blue oval. My everyday cars an escort Td in red in immaculate condition but i fancy a little something for the weekend. I would like a cosworth but my £ won't strech that far so I've decided on an Escort RS Turbo. Ive been offered an S1 1986 custom model. Its had a bigger turbo fitted and is apperently (having not seen the car) in general good all round condition with 94K on the clock and lots of history and MOTs. Bad points are: the front scuttle panels a bit rusty as is the bottom of the passenger door and a few small scratches in the dash. A friend of a friend is selling the car and its quite a way from where i live. It also has no MOT or tax. It was bought as a restoration project but the guys run out of time and money so is selling it.

Basically what im asking if if u guys think it worth the asking price? I've read that S1 RST go for between £1500 all the way up to £7000 if an original minter so i thought its a reasonable price. Also does anyone like to hazard a guess at how much it would be worth with all the problems sorted and a full ticket on it?!

Thanks for all your help and ill keep u posted
