Not personally familiar with the car, but it's vastly over priced, also been advertised on eBay for a very long time.

I'm always wary of threads like this, i.e trader coming on here asking about a car that he in facts owns and wants a free plug

I'm speaking shxte,I think it was Facebook I seen it,if it was then it would definately get slated on there regardless.
Think the mods are quite dated,missing its splitter,interior isn't going to add value.
Maybe it's a nice car but I think you will spend a few k making it standard so if you like it go for a look,if you're looking for a standard 1 pass it by.

Get on to the escort Cosworth forum, that'll be where you'll find the most helpful info and probably the best place to track down a nice example.
As for current cars on the market, the blue one here is by far more a better buy and you'd struggle to find a better one for sale at the moment, it's also cheaper too!
