If its real then why does it have fibreglass 1/4s

Less.

Maybe being an ex rally car its been pranged and repaired with fiberglass panels?

Barry R

Much better if they used gen panels

Dan1281

Barry R

Hmmm Dodgy

24vcossiemat

i dont think it is real.. the rear quarters on this one are different than standard escos quarters, they aren't lifted to blend in with the rear whale tale. they should be

Barry R

iTrader: (3)

Thats because they are fibreglass

24vcossiemat

Good lad

Kevin Sharp

ex rally shell you mongchilds

Barry R

iTrader: (3)

We know that but surely it should have proper rear 1/4s

24vcossiemat

well in my opinion it could be a standard shell that has had fibre 1/4's put on, i cant see as the rally team would pay for a escos shell then ruin it by cutting the 1/4's off. however if you remember a week ago that lad on ebay trying to sell his astra gls as a gsi cus the logbook said so, its easy to change the model variant by sending ya logbook off with a change of detail on it. so if ya thinkin of buying it as genuine then i wouldn't bother. depends what ya want it for.

Mark V8

Looks like a Mk5 shell with some Sierra bits underneath.

Ringer alert then

iTrader: (5)

mk5 shell

escorts have vents on both inner wings at bulkhead, and a crossmember that looks like a sierra almost, that has a normal mk5 crossmember

Does not have to be a ringer though!!!
My mate has a xr3i with a rst engine,
Logbook says its a Escort XR3i Turbo

Barry R

iTrader: (3)

But how can this say cosworth

Mike C

iTrader: (1)

Yeah, but apparently that says it's a "Cosworth" on the V5

Elvis

iTrader: (1)

the only way you will know is to check the chasis number.
if it has a Escos chasis number its a ringer-
if it has a mk5 escort one its now.

Kevin Sharp

oh dear....are you thinking of concoursing it?

ex rally, prob smacked to fuck fitted with aftemarket chav replica fibreglass 1/4 panels for cheapness, yes the 1/4s dont line up with sspoler buut at that price the who gives a fuck

Paul_RS

iTrader: (4)

That is 110% not a mk5/5a/6 FWD escort shell, the FWD inner wing are completly different than that. It looks to have sierra inner wings? But as Kevin says, its cheap and its acompetion car, so who cares?

dave cos4x4

iTrader: (5)

inner wings are not mk.5 escort and the transmission tunnel sort of gives the game away too.

Dome used to sell converted standard escort shells to accept rwd running gear, they also came with their own version of the wrc back end and if I remember correctly used a grp kit

Could well be one of those, and if registered as new you could call them whatever you like back then in the 90s, that changed when Ford and the DVLA cracked down due to a ringing racket going on that was unearthed

Muddysport the seller is also the breaker based in the West Country so will know his stuff, and I would say has priced it accordingly - they want 28k for an engine less wrc so doubt they would be selling this cheap for no reason

TurboShed

So, a bargain of sorts for someone.

PAUL S

iTrader: (8)

If it is one of the Dome converted cars then yes, as its just the same as people do to the focus these days so that a YB will fit

Fair shout then
