As said, what are the plans with the livery?

End of an era, but I guess people move on!

I think I've lost you there Martin?

As I've NO idea how much a car like yours costs to build and what premium you'd add out of 'sentimental' reasons (for lack of a better word).

Your comment made me curious, that's all.

Ok let me help you ... An offer over 75k would be considered but probably not accepted, I do like my Escort and would only waste the money if I sold it.

Fair enough, was thinking along those lines.

That's the thing: if you don't NEED to sell it and don't really WANT to sell it it's hard to put a price on things.

When I sold my last Harley it wasn't actually for sale but some bloke offered me a lot of money for it and kept pestering me for it lol
Sold it in the end and wasted the money lol

cant believe the length of time you have had it!,i remember it sitting in the corner of martins workshop when we were down with kev,it looked very sorry for itself at that time.

i cant believe its been ten years since we were down brum getting geared up to go to our first topspeed day at brunters!


getting back to the 3door lee,i know how hard it was for me getting rid of my car but i cant imagine having to make the decision to get rid of an icon

i tell you what tho you can take comfort from the fact that YOUR car(and it doesnt matter who owns it ,it will always be porkies 3door)will be popping up on the net for probably decades to come.

Lee, your nuts for getting rid of it, such a nice car

Martin: Just out of interest mate, lets say Mr Rich walks into your garage and says "Build me an Escort identical to yours", how much would it cost him roughly?

Difficult one is that... But my car cost me lot's without adding labour so Mr Rich's suitcase would need to be bulging to the tune of 120k +
