Default Mk4 Escort Cabriolet £600

I'm selling my 1989 Escort Cabriolet 1600i MFi.

Tax- March 2013
MOT- October 2013

Good points

Immaculate red mohair roof (receipt for £550)
Set of 5 S1 RS turbo alloys (all but spare on Pirelli P6000 tyres)
New starter motor and battery (starts on the button hot or cold)
4-1 manifold and stainless exhaust (unknown make)
Overall tidy condition
Decent amount of tax and MOT

Bad points

Passenger door has rust at the bottom
Drivers rear arch has bubbled up
Door cards typical of Mk4 Escorts
Rev counter not working (will be looked into)
Passenger electric window doesn't work from drivers side switch
Window seals have cracked

It's a 23 year old car with marks typical of a car that age but it is still a very smart looking car and always gets positive comments (even from my non retro car loving friends).

I also have an RS turbo bottom end, head, manifolds, turbo, ECUs and fuel metering unit from an S2 that could be included for an extra £100.

Car is located just outside Norwich but could be delivered for petrol money and train ticket home, just ask.

£750 as is, £850 with RS turbo bits. Will accept a VERY near offer but don't insult me as I don't need to sell it

May PX or swap for something interesting, try me.

Call/text 07585660298

Pics.

Not my sort of car to be honest with you mate, ideally looking for something older or RWD.

Cheers for the offer though

Had to put on tax, MOT it which cost £150 with the little bit of work needed and I also bought a new battery. I'm not actually making any money at this price...
