If it were mine I would have to mint it up, I guess that would be 3-4k on top of the price.

A truely stunning car all round. Imagine what 400bhp with less than 1000kg is like.

Its not alot of money at all. In fact saving over Ł3k if you was to try and build it again, not including any labour price which took weeks of building which would cost a fortune on its own.

If you price up a Mk3 Escort with S1 Kit in Stratos silver. Then add the cost of Ł2.5k for the floor work. 4k engine then plus all the bespoke components and aftermarket uprated items you would see a list of parts that add up to over Ł12k.

If anyone would like the list just email me and ill send it over.

To be fair the owner of the car is not computer literate like all of us expect everyone else to be lol. I agree it would of been better if one of us who read similar adverts every day to do it and make it an advert that would sell the car for what it is.

However anyone that would seriously want it should go see it and take a drive in it.

You will drive away with it.

7 hours to go and no bids.

Even though with the stuff thats been done to it, I really doubt that it will shift at 9k.
