I am so upset over this you would not believe. Im even crying while im typing this cos i am so gutted. But due to me getting divorced i simply cannot afford to run her anymore.

Her bodywork is in pretty good nik.... and as all of you are aware she has had a top to bottom rebuild all done by Broms fair hands! And she runs like a dream now. She does need mapping and set up tho!

Er... i really dont know what else to say im sorry if im a bit vague guys... she will have 6 months tax on her and im pretty sure shes got around 9 months MoT left too.

She has two huge folders full of history! and what you have to bear in mind is that ive spent 11k on her in the past year alone! and i know ill be lucky if i even get that for her now.

er.... dont know what to ask for her really.... she means more to me than money.

If you have any questions ill make sure i pick up my pm's at least once a day. Cant believe im giving out my mobile number on an internet forum.... especially not to you vulchers! pmsl but it is 07871 588816. so if ya dont wanna pm me give me a call.

And i just wanna say thankyou to everyone who helped me get her back on the road... and sorry to you guys who ive had to let down by selling her.

cheers sassy! i know shes not the best example of an Esc Cos.. but she certainly aint the worst!

shes had so much love and care since ive had her.. and her condition has only improved.

I just want someone to give her a good home and take her onto bigger and better things.

 

Stop right there, dont say anymore, I would love to have this car, if only i could sell my car and the saff i would consider, bloody hell i'd be taking on lily and clive

 

my offer was no good then lmao

 

i do like your three door loads too! but i can only afford to spend 4/5k max on another car at the minute... otherwise i soooooooo would have wanted it as a part ex!

 

Yeah its a good car, and TBH if it dont sell soon im prob gonna keep her , shes de-spect now aswell so we have dropped the price, but we'll see!

Its hard when you have been through so much with him hey even if it just a car as most would say, it still hurts.

Just some extra info!

Well ill be honest staright from the start and i am looking for around the 15k mark... as she ahs had over 11k spent on her in the past year alone! i have all receipts to prove this.
But... i am open to offers if i know she will go to a decent loving home that will take car of her.

She has had a top to bottom stage 3 rebuild by Brom at Zoo Motorsport and i have only just finished running her in! (1500 miles) she is set at standard boost at the minute, but is more than capable of being set up over 350bhp.... (gearbox permitting!) She runs absolutely perfect at the minute but is set at run in mode... so she does need mapping at setting up properly... but she will run like a dream i know she will... i am just so gutted that i wont be able to drive her once she is all finally finished!

Ok... ill basically list everything i can:

1996 Petrol Blue
1500 on rebuilt engine.
T34 Turbo
Samcos Hoses all through
3 bar map sensor
-31 actuator
All new sensors
L8 ECU
L8 Stage 3 chip
Uprated Pistons
Weber Conversion
New oil pump
New water pump
New uprated fuel pump
18'' Oz Super T's (2 wheels have slight scuffs!)
Koni Adjustables Shocks, PI Lowering Springs.
Alcom 6 plate paddle clutch
Morrette Head Lights
Magnex full System
Private Plate
Bailey Water tank
Bailey Mirror image oil breather
Bailey Swirl Pot
Chrome plated inlet manifold, throttle elbow, throttle bracket, polished trumpets.
Chrome Map sensor bracket
Chrome ignition module Bracket
Chrome suspension tops
Chrome bonnet stay
EBC Grooved discs
Red stuff pads on front
Green Stuff pads on rear
Practically brand new tyres! (Yokohama AVS Sport 225/40/18)

Er.. she has 7 owners, but ive been the last 2 owners if that makes sense! ( i had her changed from my husbands name to mine when we started the divorce!)

The interior is in really good condition, full leather, all the electrics work.. the only think that is a bit tatty is the gear gaitor.

The rear spoiler has been resprayed but never got flatted or buffed, so just needs a good buff up!

there is a very slight very thin rust bubble on top of the windowscreen on the passenger side.

Im being completely honest with you as i dont want you to waste your time if youre not interested.

I am based in Ipswich.

 

24!!! And there was me presuming you were older!
Nice spec you have there tho, i think 15k is a good price. Get some pics of the engine and interior......... (people always seem to ask for those)
Will you still be going to RS days?(even without Clive)

 

Yup, im only a baby and had clive for 2 years!

I havent got a camera at the minute, but ill see if i can nab someones to take some pics of inside and the engine bay!

Ill still be floating about no doubt... i might even still have an RS... im liking the idea of a nice S1 if i can find one!

 

sorry to hear that, it seems a good motor 2.

but a cossie driving girl whos thinking of buying a S1 youve got taste good luck

 

selling my s2! .....216bhp an 222ft/lb...

 

spammer! nah dont want an S2 anyway... would have to be an S1 or might even go for an old skool capri....... actually.... no... i wont... lol

 

Ive always wanted a Mk 1 Escort series 1's are cool but old skool rocks

 

yeah an old skool escort woudl be cool!

 

what you call me?!

well bugger ya then ill sell it to someone who is nice and kind and sexy and got great personality and meets people they never met before....dam im gunna be selling it to meself again!


bump for this pukka car seen it in the flesh and its nearly as luuuurrrrrvvvly as the owner.....smelly

 

Maria, go drive a few Series 1s first. They are not as friendly as a Series 2 to use as an every day car but I find I enjoy the S1 more than the S2....

Bear in mind the S1 doesn't have PAS or decent brakes unless it's been uprated. They don't drive as nice as a newer car but are enjoyable to drive.....

 

Car is mint hun, Any chance of a pic of you. Well they say you are wot you drive...

 

sorry to hear it maria .ive gone through 2 divorces .my 2nd one i had to get rid of my beloved 996 turbo.to be honest that hurtmore than the divorce

 

Chin up Maria, Things always work themselves out. Seem`s you got plenty of help & support of the guys on this forum, which is great to see. Take it to National day, have a good chance there to sell. Good luck.....

 

my spanners are ready.
