Probably one of the best ones available but at £40k it should be!! Funny how things change, years ago these were one of the least desirable Ford cars and you could pick them up for peanuts. Scrap yards were full of them.

I do not think this is an indication of the value of that car, just someone putting a silly price on for attention or to make it look like it is worth more for the auction...I doubt that would even break £15k IMO.

A 205 gti went through an auction recently at £38k....it was 5000 miles and mint but I doubt my grey one would be worth more than £12k

Am now waiting for eBay to be over run with escort cabs at a high premium
Why not put a silly reserve it won't make and see what it goes up to without running it
It's very nice but I'd rather spend 40k on something else

Ferrari 355 for £40k, can I have a go in your time machine and go back 8 years please? Surely £80k-£100k for a decent example? Even left hand drive cad d with big miles would be more than that?

Its a blue spider with 61k miles. Its up for £48k. Its its been there a while and Winter is coming so they may well take forty it you walk in with a briefcase full of folding.

Call 01423 500017 - use a telephone, not a time machine.

I had a good look around it when my Dad was buying his DBS from them. Its straight, not not insurance recorded, though is a left hooker. Perhaps you should stick to forty grand Escorts?

£40k

Fucking lol

More chance of me winning a passion ford popularity poll.

If it got more than £13-15k I’d be amazed.

Absolute dreamer

The irony is if this had a Bmw M badge or was a Lancia etc no one would really bat an eye lid at the ridiculous price lol.

The Range Rover has 100,000 miles on it! The Saff 4x4 is nice with very low mileage which if it sells for the £45k will just go into someones collection to never be used again. Be a nice base car to modify if you had loads of money!
