THIS IS A COMPLETE ESCORT RS S1 THE CAR DOES RUN AND DRIVE IT HAS ALOT OF DECENT PARTS THAT WILL BE USE FULL APART FROM THE SHELL WHICH IS A SHAME BECAUSE ITS SOLID I HAVE ONLY OWNED THIS CAR ABOUT A MONTH AND IT WAS BOUGHT OF EBAY

There's no mention of tax or MOT, so it could be rotten and worth more in bit's, only way to find out is to ask the guy, maybe he'll flog the whole thing for the right price ?

Probably cause the seller has some morals and doesnt want a total shitbox ending up bodged up and flogged on as "mint"

Either that, or seller has no morals and needs the ID for a stolen car

Sounds like the most likely story, the car is worth far more in parts than as a whole.
