im not the greatest cossy expert in the world but just wondered about this one as im interested in it is the engine a small turbo ? and were there small turbo's as early as l reg ?

It has a small turbo engine, big turbo wing mirrors and the badges the wrong way round, weird.

steano

i didnt think the early reg ones had the late type engine as like ryan said it got early type mirrors is a bit funny get it hpi

11 previous owners means he is the 12th one,so its changed hands every yr basically,makes you think why?

that is wierd as said before about mirrors

but it has the late spec fuel cap which was only on small turbos cars aswell

Good job it's cheap though, because, let's face it, who wants an Escort Cossie that's had 11 previous owners?

And saying there's no reserve is a load of bollocks, because he's said at the end that he has the right to withdraw it. People do this so they don't have to pay so much to list them in the first place, and then right at the end when it doesn't make as much as they want they just pull the auction and list it again. This has happened to me before.

just had a look at mine and the ford badge on the back is in the totally wrong place. it should be inbetween the number plate and lights. are they not motorsport seats as there is no recaro badges on them

Some of the very early small turbo cars had the petrol flap and early mirrors.....

Rob@SCC's old car was the exact same spec as that 1...... hex cloth, large turbo mirrors, petrol flap and badges in early spec positioning, until he changed it all to late spec

One way to tell if its a real one or a dodgey one is to check the VIN number!

If its :-

SABTVR**************

Then its a fake one,

If its,

WFOBXX***********

then its real and just a very early one

unless the vin has been falsified and welded in, and new tags made up

Whats wrong with having lots of owners,as long as the car is right then there should be no problem.

as far as the badges go, mine is an N reg with the full L reg spec as in wipac immobiliser, big mirrors, big turbo badges and the non airbag wheel, the wheel is the shonky late one they did before going to the airbag.
It has the petrol flap and is a small turbo model.
mine is a wierd spec but I do know why nothing dodgy BTW!
so yes I could see how this is on an L reg as my build date is in June 94.
