That is the most hideous vehicle on the UK's roads today, no doubt about it. I would advise the new owner to drive it through a hole the same shape and size as a standard corvette.

Who was it looking for a Suzuki WhizzkidOnly thing that worries me is the buy now price considering how rare they are (they normally disolve) and " IT REQUIRES A NEW FRONT TO REAR COOLANT HOSE (THE CAR IS A REAR ENGINED COUPE WITH THE RAD IN THE FRONT AND THE HOSE HAS BLOWN IN THE MIDDLE SOMEWHERE)-A FAIRLY STRAIGHTFORWARD JOB
THE STEERING RACK GAITERS REQUIRE REPLACEMENT.
THE SHOCK ABSORBERS AND BRAKES MAY REQUIRE ATTENTION.
" That blown hose is probably either out of production and rare as a curse word or requires removing either 20 rusted screws from an undershield, or have to remove the whole coolant soaked interior to get it. Also " THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN FOR SOME TIME PRIOR TO THE MOT EXPIRING AND HAD NO SERIOUS FAULTS.
So it had a blown hidden coolant hose of unknown location and they managed to drive it without trouble? Must be a strong engine.

...With regards to the Mk2 Cos.
I am not saying that it's not been put back together wrong, or there is anything else wrong with it. I've not seen the car or anything.
Basically it was in an accident (went backwards into a lampost or something) only a short time after most of the work was done. It has 'supposedly' had a whole new back end from the bottom of the rear window back. It's also been up for sale quite a few times, and the person selling on E-bay hasnt had it long. There's various threads on Ford forums talking about it.
It could have been repaired perfectly or whatever, but imo anyone looking to spend this much on an Escort (particularly an RS) will want a perfect car.
..If it is a genuine Mex and there is nothing wrong with it (ie. what I've posted above is un true) then it is worth atleast £10-12k to the right person... There was the Orange YB powered Mex (Darran Moss') that went for £20k a while back.
Cheers, Greg.

That looks great! The clock in the dash is massive. Looks very standard/original too. Would fit in with your current fleet very well.. How much roughly do you think it will go for? Cheers, Greg.

Fully prepped rally cars by Prepfab and the like can be costing £50,000+ without engines now Thats why I am liking the look of this endurance rallying malarkey its the only way I am gonna be able to afford to rally myself rather than co-drive.
