Just seen an r reg escos for sale i did not think they made them this late.

 

There's an x reg one up here.

 

Its the right colour and mileage just a little worried about the R reg suppose it could have been registered late.

 

Ive seen a R plate one before

 

I know the car you're looking at!!! Not know it know it, but I've seen it for sale on the internet.

Best to check all the paperwork thoroughly.

 

it will be a late registered 1996 car that would have been ordered later.....would have been a P plate but obviously a dealer must have kept hold of it a little bit longer to make a bit rarer

 

R reg escos with a big turbo engine???? and the dealer did'nt even know its also has greens and a full stainless exhaust early dino print outs are 300+bhp and one just been done is only 240bhp???lots of little problems its built with parts from an earlier car ie. steering wheel wing mirrors and the fit and finish was not good enough for me.I am looking at one at automotive unlimited at the weekend its more money but you get what you pay for.

 

Duncan at Automotive sells some nice cars,I've bought 2 from him in the past
not cheap though
Mat

 

Ive learnt one thing about buying an escos if its cheap there's a reason its hard to find a nice one without a story.If Duncan has a nice car it will be worth the extra cash.

 

Was it the Motorsport one at a garage in Farnborough?

 

Esc cos production ended 1996 jan or feb.Must be a late registered one or has an iffy history? Seen this one on Auto trader and it's a motorsport with leather????

 

And Air con and electric mirrors and windows.

Dodgy?

 

Check very carefully when buying P or R plates, some are good, some are not. Some were built by ford and then late registered, others were built from a kit of new(ish) parts but not by ford. They don't all have regular vin numbers either. They are a nightmare to fix if anything goes wrong, which it will, since they used a kind of mix and match approach for parts.

I got a P with a big turbo, leather, aircon etc... cost a fortune to get things sorted though, unknown cams, dodgy electrics, things like that. Can be hard to trace it's history as well, vin search gives some very strange results.

 

It was the one in Farnborough not a motorsport though as it had opening rear quaters.It had an aircon switch but no compressor or rad a big turbo engine no leather a kreg steering wheel and fibre glass bumpers.The dealer did not know a thing about it he did not even notice it did'nt really have aircon.And the dash was held together with black screws i dont even think it was a proper cossy dash.He was not best pleased when i told him why i did'nt want it.

 

A real minter then!!! Thought it was a bit strange, had a real mis-match of specs. of a Lux and a Motorsport.

 

Yea i missed a good car there
had a look at one at automotive unlimited its a lot of money but its the first good one i have looked at.

 

Just shows you, there are some really dodgys escort cossies out there!

 

Automotive Unlimited do sell some really nice cars, I suppose it's an example of you get what you pay for!

 

my thoughts exactly.

Ive looked at some dodgy cars before but this one took the biscuit.
i feel sorry for the person that buys it.

 

Some poor mug will though.

I'd never buy a Cosworth without having someone with me who knows what they're looking at!

 

Is there a website? How can i get hold of him?

Thanks.
