Default Ringer ?? You decide...

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1986-FORD-ESCO...QQcmdZViewItem

Reshelled using mk4 shell. Mk3 front end, but original ID and chassis plates.
Yes or no ??

I quote: "and floor pan ID professionally welded into place"
Apparently that's a "Good Point" on the car !!

He says the V5 is'nt in his name as he has'nt got round to changing it over yet. When you buy a car, you keep the slip given to you by the PREVIOUS owner until you get a V5 in your name. This is sent by the DVLA after they get the other part from the PREVIOUS owner to say he/she has sold it. You don't have to do anything to get the V5 in your name, apart from actually buying the car ! Or am i being a fooking retard !
