Default £16K Mk1 Escort on Ebay ?

Is it me or do the rear wheels look not right?

Totally mint car and probably worth every penny but it looks odd for some reason

I think its more of a case of group 4 spec shell, not running gear.

Very nice though, had no idea he had one and why the fook is he selling it

Had an Escort years ago which went round right-handers like on rails yet on left-handers was a real pig and very reluctant to turn! Later found out it had had a side swipe and a new quarter panel and chassis rail where the rail had been 'cut-n-shut' in the wrong place and moved the front spring eye out - just a fraction but looked just like this Mexico! Could be wrong but three pictures from different angles all look the same regarding that rear offside wheel! If I was contemplating that much investment would have it checked out very thoroughly first!!
Have changed my mind after checking CBC web page and with all the preparations that went into this project it would seem very unlikely that they would have missed or 'cocked-up' the chassis and one shot of the o/s/r looks straight so have tom assume that the picture deceives the eyes! Funny that all the eBay pictures are the same ones on the CBC page - why not show it as is now??? Strange
