I come across a mint Series 1 escort rs turbo today by accident.I was looking for directions and came across this for sale.I spoke to the guy who owns the garage and he said every single nut and bolt has been changed on it.I think it had 72 or 79 thou on the clock.Interior is mint under neath was showroom condition.I could open the bonnet or doors as they were locked.The price must be £2999 it carnt be 29 thousand pounds lol

tonysierra4x4

if that is £2,999 i'll have it but realy doubt that.

Mk4 Rick

That's what I thought lol.There is no way on this earth its 29 thousand lol.He had loads of focus rs cars, and Bentleys, range rovers,the works

Mk4 Rick

Does anyone recognise it or know any info on it .

I dunno if its show room finish It may be worth 29k in a few yrs time

matts1

Bit odd, clearly not a £3k car unless it is not a genuine S1, but surely isn't 30k!!

Reg seems familiar but nothing on google.

was that in Wigan?

Mk4 Rick

Spot on lad lol.The place is called Phantom motor company unit 2 and 3 coupland road on an industrial estate Tel 01942-502288

He looks like he knows his stuff he has some nice ferrairs in there.Anyone interested give them a bell it doesn't deserve to be tucked up in there

Mk4 Rick

Carnt you check the reg for history?It might be genuine and he is not in to his rs turbos or he doesn't know enough about them.He has cars there worth way more than that.

Mk4 Rick

If it was £29,99 I would have ripped his arm off for it lol

Gonna ring them 2moro for this

Mk4 Rick

Even if it was a copy surely its worth that in parts.Its A1 condition.Also do any Series 1 Escorts even fetch any where near £29k type of money?

iTrader: (1)

Even if it is a rep I will still buy it defo going to ring them in the morning and have a chat

matts1

maxest

iTrader: (1)

Wanna bet.. it wouldn't surprise me gets people talking

rsminter

GVK.

Should be an interesting telephone conversation.


"Good morning, this is Phantom motor company how may I help?"

cossie891 "Hello my luvvverrr [Bristolian accent] Just calling about your Series 1 for £2990"

"Ah, slight problem there sir, it's actually Twenty nine THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED and 90 pounds we're asking for this mint example of the early RS Turbo Escort"

cossie891 "Oh"

Brrrrrrr [phone goes dead]

that would be the place in Burscough,near Ormskirk.

that car has gone now iirc, was in the middle of the floor lol.

you can have mine for 20k mate ,


i think it could be a long time before theses reach 30k even with the 30th anniversary coming up next year

Jimbo.

LOL at people thinking its actually £3k. It clearly states in the window that they want £30k. Just look at the other cars in the place!

Also wrong driving lamps. No radio aerial on drivers wing. Showroom condition would not be white inside the wheel arches either. That much from just one photo and with that mileage - Certainly not worth £30k.

Most I valued one at last year was £20K -Single figure thousand mileage and just one owner.

Thats the one i was thinking of, couldnt quite recall exactly where track was.

Looks like a nice enough car, can't comment on the price being right though, but from looking at the website everything he has looks optimistically priced, and most are all mid-high miles. Gotta make a living I suppose.
