Looks like a very high-quality build.
It's Ł3k higher than I'd value it, but it looks to be from a fair-sized dealer, so price is around where you'd expect it to be I'd say.

Nice looking car but seems a bit steep to me, but then all early cars seem to have shot up a lot the last few years

With the rear seats in a I would assume it hasn't.
I agree, it's way over priced IMO.
If anything, Escort's have started to stabilise/drop a little in recent times. I've seen a couple of clean Escorts make less than I thought they would/have done previously.
