Found this on ebay http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FORD-ESCORT-MK...QQcmdZViewItem

Now, I always thought Harriers only ever came in white or silver, not blue. For the money he wants for it, and given their rarity and the money its had spent on it, why change the colour?

 

because it was done in 1994, 13years ago, when they were less rare and far less expensive.

remember how cheap a nice RS2000 was back then? look at the prices now!

 

Still looks shit though.

 

i remember my cousin had one in lime green with furry wheel and a graphic EQ that looked like it was nailed to the dash

he paied 150 quid for it and scrapped it

i actually PREFER the harrier to the 2000

 

I was offered a really nice Mk2 2.1 in 1996 for 2 grand....


It was an MSA logbooked ex-rally car too.... I couldn't insure it so I bought an Orion instead...






Stupid boy!

 

I had a Harrier until 2004, had it for 5yrs, kept it in the garage, needed slight restoration but hadn't been on the road for 12yrs. Sold it when money got v short and was in danger of repossession, and regretted it straight away. Would love another but with the way prices are going I'll be waiting a long time.

 

my worst one was being offere a toyota celica GT4 import in 1999 on a M reg for 2k as the person needed cash and i turned it down as i didnt think ill be able to sell a left hand drive car

if only i knew japan drive on the right side of the road then

theres another thing i fucked up with too but cant remember it right now but was just as thick

 

ROFL clkassic

 

hey steve i was 20 years old then,,, driving with no licence in a ford orion with a shite slow ERST engine in it with more rust on the floor than the titanic

i knew FUCK ALL ABOUT CARS then,,,, well i still dont now but i learned

seriously trying to remember the other one

the thing i ever regret in life though has to be either snorting a line of something that i recon was ajax ( not the cream might i add ) or nout buying a 1 bedroom flat when i was 18 in sutton for 23k,,,, not that i didnt wanna buy it but it was my old man who conviced me to stay at home a little longer and enjoy life and then when im older worry about morgages

comming from a bloke who bought a 3 bedroom house 1/2 a mile from kings cross in 1988 for 11k now worth around 450k

 

its a good shell, thats all its worth.


it has not even got the orginal wheels

 

What a load of bollox...harriers have got a good following and have never been cheap due to rarity and having the right bits...my first was a white one and i sold it in 1991 for £1800 and my second,a silver one sold for £4000 3 years ago...the colour change is not ideal,but should not harm his chances of selling as long as he has reciepts or photo evidence...if you want original wheels,they are cheap and easy to source...mk1 and 2's prices are rocketing,which is why i have my mk1 mexico in bits for a full restoration

regards mark

 

Ginge, I did something similar. In 99 I was offered the flat I was renting (I was single in them days) for 35k. Bank said no bother for a mortgage etc....

Decided not to and spent the money on my RS fucking Turbo

3 years later the flat was worth 140k


And to make things worse, the RST was crap

 

I do too!

 

a great car,i think it will go for around the 9k mark

 

Its just a piece of metal, A lovely one at that

 

me too,love them in silver.

there really aint that many about though and theres alot that are said to be harriers that actually arent so theres no telling this is really one of the genuine ones.

 

It is a shame its not a gen colour , BUT , a totaly stunning car that i would love to have sat in my garage

will do big money , 9 / 10k i would say

 

nice

 

 

Mk2 escorts are fetching some money now

 

15mins left and JUST under the 10k mark, stupidly close, but just below reserve, which i bet is 10k!

 

i once turned down a tax and tested rs2000 for £1200 back in 2000 (before i got into RS's), was really tidy too

kicking myself now
