Its worth less than a normal one with that work done to it. Struggling for Ł1000 in my eyes and that would be broken for parts

Pretty sure it's an XR3i. I seem to remember it when it was in Max Power...

7k gotta be jokes surely.

TBH I think the paint might work for potential buyers. Bit of camouflage so people don't see you in it.

I swear this heap has been up for 7k for well over a year now. I've seen it pop up on here and on ebay a few times, in the same place, just with different weather.

Bot escorts look a mess.

A bit of tlc and they could look half decent.

The pink rs2000 is still about, its on the rs2000 forum, not the best colour admittedly but was running a fairly high spec mountune engine it alot of decent kit on it, anyone remember the huge arched corrado in orange I think it was and there was an Carlton or omega or something like that on trhee spoke alloys in yellow, those we're the days lol

The pink escort rs2k was a good one, few things I'd of done differently but still cool and also they built a wee f2 style maxi kit car saxo thing was pretty cool but the rest were pretty wank

The guy who won the yellow Vauxhall Carlton wrote it off by putting through a shop window! I'm sure Max Power ran a feature on what was left of it and the crushing of it!
