If it was £12000-£13000 I consider it, but £16000 for a 70K plus miler? I just think it's too much money!

One tip .. Anyone taking a look at the car .. When you meet the guy ... Briefly check out his hands ... If he is a genuine, affluent sort .. with a posh house and a snooty mother ... they will look like your dentists!
If they are manked up with paint .. Isopon .. dirt .. then you'll know a bit more

Hmmm Not entirely mate... the Guy selling it is supposed to be an MD of Cosworth, so i'd imagine he'd be more likley to have a manicure than then filler in his nails...

wont he have hobbies? Might be a keen gardener and his hands are fooked. Or he might have an old car hes restoring. Not buying that tip at all

i had the same problem was promised the car was stunning
i travelled 6 hrs to see it but it was a pile of shite.
this one has been for sale for almost a year now which
isn,t right there must be sumthin dodgy about it.
older guys rip the ass out of cars aswell so u cant rely
on someone telling u that it is a mature owner and its not been abused
and if he worked for cosworth he could well be a bit of a petrol head.

Maybe it is mint to him,,,,,not to others 
Like Sarah said to me,,,,,he just don't care about it, was given to him,,,got shed loads of money,,,,so its just a motor to him, run about!! Shame!!
Although by the sounds of things he's run the wheels into everything

Bloke said he wouldn't take no lower then £14,500 for it
However is says on E-Bay reserve met,,,and it was only at £13,600,,,work that out
Geezer just sounds like a complete nob-jockey to me
Who was the other chappy on here that was going to see it?? As sarah said that someone else that was going to see it today phoned the guy as he'd got a puncture,,,,hope it wasn't anyone on here

14.5k pmsl. thats minter money. Think hes relying on dropping on someone who knows feck all. If it was 12k id say its would be ok to buy and tidy

Has this been posted on the RSBB, as matey (Ben is it?) has posted on there saying that other guy that went to look at it was lying... it would appear he was telling the truth.

People like this really piss me off, you think you're going to see a decent motor and you turn up and it's nothing like it was described! So frustrating!
You end up wasting a day and your petrol etc for nothing!
Hope the ebay buyer is a messer!

Well i guess that i'd better give my bit now eh??
Not been a good day really...... badly hung over and then got a bloody nail in the rear tyre as i was going to set off!!
I was told by Ben ( the son ) that no matter what i could be the 1st to view it! I called his dad last night and kept saying it was standard and mint etc but could i call after 2pm has he already had 3 people looking at it AM!!???......
With how i was feeling this morning and the tyre thing i was ''on one'' to start with, so i called the guy and basically just got out of him what he should of said at the start! He said that the car has had a wing due to a slight bump in a supermarket and paint to the door for colour match!He said the car has been used and stressed used, said noway a concours car!
After hearing this and the way he was saying it , i just didnt even bother looking, as i dont want a car which has had a panel! plus it took several calls to get that out of him.Youve just to feel sorry for the person on ebay who is winning the car with reserve met! Theyve stated on there that the car is original panels??
Anyway i'm having no more to do with this bloody car, just caused aload of grief!
WANTED..........MINT LOW MILE ESCORT COSWORTH LUX!!!
cash reward for any info leading to a sale!!

Hello Everyone....It's Sarah...yet another PF user who wasted there time on the car today!!!
Firstly, thankyou to Bigpower for the puncture...i was well late and you were after me...result!!!
To be fair guys, the engine in this car was really nice...it had without a doubt only done 37k but the shell was in a real mess. If someone could get this for 13.5k and spend a grand on it it really would be a nice car...
Although saying that, after a 2hour drive the car had NO TAX so he wouldn't let me drive it...
Ahmed took some photos of some of the dodgy bits whilst i was there so i'll post them tomorrow mornin for you all.
I did give him a rollocking about every wheel being kerbed though, asked him who taught him to park...fpmsl...
SOOO... CLEAN LOW MILEAGE ESC COS LUX WANTED ... DESPERATELY.!!!
Bigpower...i'll keep me eyes peeled for any up your way
P.S. does anyone know the two other people that went to see it this morning as he told me that one of them had offered him 14.5k already??? ouch!
