Can you tell me if this car is too much money as i am going to take alook at it today.. bearing in mind it has had 25k spent on it 2 years ago.. plus the dealership where s is being sold is willing to do a deal with a swap with my Escort Cosworth..
Dont want to be stung if it is too much money.??
It is a Genuine 1300 Super shell which had a £25K restoration 2 years ago.
Includes new quarters/doors/mexico wings/inner bays/bulk head etc. original floors and chassis runs Vauxhall 2.0 D.O.H.C Red Top Engine XE MBE throttle bodies SBD cams/exhaust manifold racing pistons and steel flywheel paddle clutch 220 BHP tran x 5 speed gearbox. Single piece prop with Salisbury LSD. Anti tramp bars penard rod. Vented disc all round, bias pedal box 7x13 super lites, 4x cibie super oscars, stainless exhaust.
The Dealership originaly wanted £18000k
But now it has been reduced down to £16k to do a deal straight swap with me for my Escort Cosworth..
Do you think its worth the deal.??

£16k for a 1.3 with a vauxhall engine, wtf? That's mad IMO.
I know feck all about MK1 prices but originality must be key, ie a FORD engine!
Other than original cars, the only conversion that holds any interest for me is cosworth MK1

without specs its difficult..
Prob more of a case of will be able to shift an escos at 14-16k easier than a Mk1 without too many of the right bits for the same price.

The prices for mk1's are rocketing though and the car above will be worth £25k in 4 or 5 years if kept like that.The beauty with mk1's is that even mex's and rs2000's dont really lose money if they have different engines,gearboxs or axles in them,as long as done properly,and that vauxhall engine in the car above sounds the dogs bollocks.
