Default Escort Cosworth on Ebay

Does anyone know this car? Im very interested in it, as its exactly what im looking for! Would anyone else be put off slighly with ithavin 6 owners?? Or am i being picky?? Just a bit worried that ive only been looking a couple of weeks and may have found one so soon!! Also noticed its got a 3rd brake light in the tail, is this normal??

Cheers for any info/feedback!!

6 owners is probably about the average for these cars......look at overall condition, not how many owners they have...its an expensive car to maintain, thats prob y its had so many

In its standard original condition apart from a forge dump valve, strutt brace and a sensible stainless steel exhaust which is an exact replica of the original.

Where the fook did ford put that optional extra whaletail in it's book's then.

Kev, the owners never put me off mine.

So much of a car to look after,scared of theft,insurance etc....many people only have them for a bit too just to say they have had one.

looks a decent car, but i would go and see it before you bid etc....

make him an offer too off ebay.

Spoiler is a bit weird though,not had the genuine one stolen or had the back smashed etc......



Good luck Kev.

Steve, late cars had the option of an areo pack, extra money.

this is probably one of then, the owner has then bought a rear spoiler and put it on it.

Maybe so BUT he could of at least tracked down a n original one not a one with high level brake light. And then advertise it as a standard car.
