Looks clean enough to be a 9 mileage car, but the wheels are shocking.

Very much doubt its a factory built car far too much of a miss match of early and late parts on it, looks like a motorsport shell thats been built up from bits and bobs.

its not a factory car imho
" the shell was bourght brand new with doors bonnet boot wings and bumpers from ford then from the shell every item ie nuts bolts clips screws interior gearbox diffs axels were all bourght brand new from ford"

The Shell and some of the bits were brought from Ford that all...... its not the same as a Ford built car from my perspective, no idea how he has come to the conclusion that its the last Escos ever built.

only issue I can see as it is a new shell and not factory built may not be recognised by RS owners club, also if not registered you need all the receipts for new parts to prove it is new to be able to get it registered else it may end up on a Q plate which would knock the value a lot.
