A stripped cossie in a barn with no paperwork, i ain't no columbo but that just shouts stoler to me, ha ha ha.
Probably someones pride and joy back in the 90's till it dissapeared.

Going by the brake master cylinder and the position of the washer bottle, looks to me like a base model with cosworth bits on it????

I'd buy it just for the seamless blending in of the paintwork under the bonnet.

Like they say, a fool and his money are easily parted. However, look at how many ropey early escort shells sell for daft money nowadays...? With or without v5's, vin numbers or anything of identity.

But i agree, it is a turd of ringpiece stretching magnitude.

Some mongaloid will come on the thread later trying to convince us its actually worth more than scrap value "oh its a 3 door shell, worth xxx minimum due to rarity" while we all choke on our sandwich reading it.

i wonder why they just park them up for years and go and buy something else
