Default Escort Cosworth on fleabay

Isn't this the car that KTC had up for sale? Am I right in thinking this was Rob's From SCC? I thought it was in Fast Ford at some point in 2000-2001, but I can't find it in any of my old issues

This car id advertised at 2 different car forecourts, Its on autotrader at Keiley trade center(sp) and also at a little garage in digbeth in birmingham. Weather the 2 garages are linked i dont know but both look dodgy as.

Basicaly if you value you wallet stay away

Not sure about them seats, and I'm a bit dubious (to say the least) as to why it's been passed on (Digbeth always seem to end up with KTC's Escort Cossies)

Still, looks the dog's danglies!

The car is still at KTC, the garage in Digbeth is linked to KTC.

The pictures for the advert on the auto trader are the same as the ebay ad too.

Steer Clear if you value your hard earned wonga!

I remember that one! It was Aubergine and had been on Ebay for weeks, but was removed 'cos it was basically a ringer on an XR3i logbook. Shame 'cos it looked stunning!

How many times have I seen this when going to look at a car, surely you'd think they'd get it ready before your viewing. I always get 'they all do this mate' whenther it takes 10 minutes to start the car you are now not going to buy because it's shit.

If KTC have been anywhere near it, steer clear!

It's probably got a false floor so there's a place to hide guns and drugs and other gangster shit

What I thought, and after meeting the guy I bet it must tear him up inside to think where it's been since his ownership
