Default MINT imperial blue Escort Cosworth (photos added)

Well the time has come already as i want something i can use.

It has taken me some time to find the 'perfect' escort cosworth and after months of pestering the previous owner i bought the car.

The car is immaculate, mint and really is outstanding. I dont think i have ever seen one as good. I looked at so many for sale and at shows i looked at all the escort cosworths, especially imperial blues to see what everyone elses were like. And this is by far one of the best out there

The car has covered 32k, and is a late 1995 model on an N plate. The bodywork is amazing, the leather is amazing, the whole car is like new. Only a few sensible mods which include (all new parts) Blueflame exhaust system, Cobra springs, (only covered about 1000 miles), 18" Rondells, (like new), and twin headlights. It has FULL Brooklyn Ford service history, every receipt and bit of paper work from new. All original parts apart from the exhaust. The engine bay and boot are also like new, and untouched.

Im not going to put photos up, if you are genuinely looking for an immacualte, mint, near standard, concours escort cosworth you will be happy to contact me.

Since owning the car it has lived in the garage under the car cover. I entered it into Concours at Ford Fair, as the car is that good, and being my first attempt was not expecting to win, but i did come 2nd!

No time wasters and no silly offers! I dont need to sell the car, but if the right offer comes!!!! With regards to the price, it is not as high as some people have been told!

Thanks.

Nick.

do not sell this car pls

, just use it, i swear you will regret it,

yes, its a mint car, and 2nd in concourse, just keep the car, up the power and use it, just use when its dry, thats all i do, done 6k in 6 months in mine, and i dont regret it one bit

even if you start using the car, it will still be mint mate

I think if you put up the price you have in mind, it will help the sale mate. If its not as high as people think, then it may tempt more people and gain more interest.

I agree Max. Sold mine for 17.5k & 1st it was mint, but not a concourse example & 2 was not Imperial Blue ( most demanded colour )

This is a great price for a car in my opinion is an absoloute stunner..
Good luck with the sale Nick...
If you still got it in the new year, i will be ringing you
All the best Steve

Ditto......this car is a pure minter and would be hard to find another in this condition Ł20.5k is top money for a top car!

the 2nd hand sports model even for the cossie is in the pits..look on every forum and you will see mint examples advertised for months
there was a fantastic looking car from a guy in ireland looked a1 and he was struggling for ages\at 17k
you have to be very lucky these days to sell at the top end and dont get me wrong i love the esc cossy but 20grand buys a lot of exotic machinery these days thats a lot easier to live with
over on scoobynet there is a fantastic spec sti at 14k that will obliterate a hell of a lot of cars and looks the danglies

Oh dear another one
For a start everyone has a scooby For a lot of escos owners its not about being able to obliterate other cars Its about the car being rare and extremely nice, just the road presence is enough
You can buy evo 7's for 12k which are the same as scooby's, fast and common as muck
It all depends what your after, how many mint escort cosworths are left??
And with this sort of history and mileage?

i dont think people realise just how nice this car is, its 100% mint, very very low mileage and i believe is a fair price for one of the best cars out there! , goodluck mate with the sale

like i say clueless. It will sell but it will take time. Its the right money for the car but buyers are very scarce at this level....

I sold one last year no way near as mint for 17.5.....

Don't remember the M Reg mallard being on eBay, but that has cloth and is mallard- which doesnt command the price an imperial example does..

K100SSY sold for 20k- not less! And imo the reason for that was a poor advert

This car WILL sell for what Nick wants for it

I know this car very well and I doubt that there are too many better examples in the country.

Are you able to post the photos from the magazine shoot or are you prevented from doing so due to copywrite?

Also whatever price the car is for sale for is for the owner to decide, if you don't agree please keep it to yourself, after all this is a For Sale post not a discussion post!

Mallards dont command money like imperial...imperial is THE most sought after colour which in itself doesnt add value as such but enables buyers to name their price as people will pay it for the colour! It isnt my fave colour but there ya have it!

What if you dont no this car, nor its history or how mint it is, how can a general joe blogs want to buy it with no pics and no price, i no theres loads of feed back saying how good it is but how can you tell, id rather have a look on here and say well thats out my price rangeand leave it than phone the guy and say no mate thats far to much for me and waste his time i dont personlay value it at 20k, it would need to be something REALLY special for me ( but thats me) to spend 20k on an escort cos, but somehow i can see FORDRS2005`S point

Still i wish you every bit of luck with the sale
