Default 4x4 Series 2 Escort Shell For Sale

Nearly sold this a couple of years ago but bottled it. The time has come to test the waters again......

Pictures speak for themselves. Situated in Cornwall, anyone welcome to view

It stands me at approx. £25k and although i hate to say it, its not worth nowhere near that! Offers will be considered but will not let go for silly money. Professionally restored at Central Blast Cleaning (what was back 6-7yrs ago). Took 2 years prior to this of driving all over the UK sourcing as many genuine Ford parts as possible!! Never built up. Dry stored since resto.

Full weld in cage, triangulated, dash bar etc.

Front beam has being freshly powdercoated, compression struts, adjustable tca's. Old beam and running gear apart from this. I have many other parts (genuine front spots, headlights, indicators and more) that wont be sold with the shell but open to deals. I have a freshly flocked dash that will go with the shell as it has been cut specific to fit around the cage.
Few pics......

















I also have a YB engine as pic below that will drop in here very nicely (subject to cams and a few ancillary components)! Will not sell this unless shell goes first or with it.
  • 200 block
  • 6 long studded
  • WRC gasket
  • Freshly powder coated rocker cover
  • Swedish Plenum powder coated
  • 'WRC' pocketed pistons
  • New genuine Ford turbo (unsure T34?)
  • New front diff
  • H section rods






Cheers, Chris

It was a company near the chap i bought the engine off (Leeds). Didnt recognise the name and cannot remember tbh. It has been put together with tlc, that is evident.

Cheers Beefy. Yours was one that always inspired me, amongst others. If it doesn't sell, i shall sit on it until various things pass over and hopefully regain interest. I would rather cut me right arm off than sell it on for peanuts! So much work and £££.
