TBH mate the condition doesn't look bad to me, the inside could do with seeing a hoover though.

I sold one fubar'd for £800 a few years ago, they have a cult following do the bonnet bulge model. Great seats, very under rated cars and a cheap reliable entry into RS ownership.

Looks clean, nothing major wrong.
RS scene tax is getting heavy now, in fact all older fords are getting strong money.
The parts haven't escaped either, saw a lad selling escos wheels painted white for £1100 on ebay t'other day.
Now that is taking the piss.

I suppose really they are worth what somebody is going to pay. They are good cars I had an L plate smiley face one before I got the escort cossie.

Agreed, skip the lights, tints and wheels and seriously clean the inside up and it could be a nice motor.

It's not like it's advertised for £10 000

I don't really see an issue with it being £1000?
