Smile Anyone with imperial blue Escos

Anyone out there with an imperial blue big turbo escort cossie that might be thinking of selling it if made an offer or know anyone please get in touch as i am thinking of looking for one in good condition with about 50k on the clock or lower.

NO RUSTY ONES PLEASE

would be perfect if it was stage 3 (330bhp roughly)

Cheers Guys

I'm sure homologation models were the first couple of hundred or so, where they didnt have colour coded door handles, and had a seperate water injection bag,,, maybe wrong though

sorry i didnt know that? only going by the advert and the pics, it aint my car, just saw it on pistonheads

still, if its been repaired properly and its not recorded against it, seems a good car for the price as most cossies have had a bump, dent, scratch etc and something replaced!!!

however if its not hpi clear then fuck it

no worries fella. appreciate the help!

Its HPI clear as ive checked but the guy hasnt got any repair bills etc and i dont want to buy one and be doing the speeds that these cars are capable of if there is no proof its been repaired properly.

Is a stunning car just lacking one thing!

Just emailed this guy as saw the car on ebay.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...:X:RTQ:GB:1123

I asked in a nice way that i would like some pictures of the rust and the underside of the car as i was interested and would like to know a little more about the car.

The reply i get is basically" cosworths are too low to get a picture underneath as you would know if you owned one and i work all week so cant take any pictures for you. Its been advertised on here three times and no one has come to look at the car, i wont take anyone serious unless they come to look at the car"

I just replied its no wonder that no one has come to see it if that the atttude you been taking with everyone when they ask you something. I explained i was interested and has been looking on passionford for a while for a good one but was a long way away from where he lives so wanted a little more info to make sure the trip was worth while!

Am i being unreasonable or over reacting????
