Default Ford Escort On Ebay, Why Is Nobody Interested?

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1988-Ford-Esco...item19b4ca6c92
I have seen this Escort Mk4 on ebay a few times now by the same seller. The car looks in stunning condition and I'm tempted to buy. But I am wondering is this too good to be true because nobody seems to be interested in it. Surely this would be snapped up for more than the £1000 asking price? Or is it quite simply because it has an automatic gear box?

At the end of the day it's still a 20 year old escort with too many doors and the wrong 'box. Hardly desirable for any reason.

I like the way the seller compares it to an Mk2 Escort lol.

They got it right that it's a future classic but the time is now and it isn't a classic
