Interior looks strange/wrong (might not be as I'm no expert) but looks like later normal escort door cards? and wrong steering wheel?

Maybe the full bare metal respray means something else... or maybe not

its because its all wrong. there has already been a thread on it.

its an L plate big turbo times but has the small turbo bits.

Wheels look good IMO.

I was looking at it myself but puts me off with such low mileage and so many wrong bits.

and with being built up from ground up after only 27K. Why would you need to do that?
