My old A plate Escort didn't have that type of strut top it had the more comon type as found in the later S2.

Something jumps up and says something isn't quite right

Q: how come its got the pre 1983 strut tops on it,i thought the series 1 had the single type


A: TO ALL BIDDERS, IM DOING THIS TO COVER MYSELF AS I HAVE HAD 2 QUESTIONS THROUGH SAYING THAT IT'S NOT AN RS SHELL, SOMETHING ABOUT THE SUSPENSION STRUTS AND DIFFERENT, THE PERSON THAT IM SELLING THIS FOR HAS HAD THIS FOR 2 YRS AND BEEN THROUGH MOT'S WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL, I CAN'T BELIVE THAT I HAVE JUST BEEN TOLD THIS NOW EVEN THOUGH OVER 1000 PEOPLE HAVE LOOKED AT THE LISTING. IT UP TO YOU NOW IF YOU BID, WINNING BIDDER WILL BE ASKED IF HE READ THIS MESSAGE AND WANTED IT STILL. THE OWNER HAD A HPI CHECKED ON IT BUT COME BACK WITH NO PROBLEMS, CAN'T SEE WEATHER THIS IS TRUE ABOUT THE RS HAVING DIFFERENT STRUTS OR NOT. AGAIN ITS UP TO YOU WHOEVER TO BID OR NOT.
