Let's be honest, this is not a £10k-£11k car, it's one of the best around, but I think 19k is just a touch too much to get people hooked, but it looks like there is a bit of room for manouvre as it's ono.
Looking at the condition, the mileage and that it's a well known car in the club, and the fact that if James bought it you know it must be spotless to say the least because he would no way have bought it if it hadn't been, I would say high 17s to £18k is where it should be to get a sale. I think it was around that sort of money N300 BHP went for a while ago and it was a minter too. I really think just a touch off it will get it sold.
I won't pay over the odds for anything but I reckon that's what this is worth looking at the market and the fact it's got to be one of the top 10 best Escort Cosworths around. And the fact that it's well known in the club counts for something I think, rather than punting out on something through Autotrader.
You've made some very good points there mate but as Karl said the car is Imperial Blue and it's got a few things that N300 BHP hasn't got.

At the end of the day I can only price my car at what I think it's worth, if a potential buyer thinks it's priced too highly then I can always come down a tocuh, but if I price it too low I can never go up.

In my opinion my car is about the money it should be and I'm sure the first genuine person to view the car will buy it.
