Mk2 Escort 4 door 1600 Ghia Auto will be at CF Show


Recommended Posts

Im loking at the possibilty of selling my Mk2 Escort Ghia.

 

Ive not used this myself for at least 2 years, however my brother has done some shows and kept it running for the last year, he has booked in on the club stand and anyone wishing to have a look is welcome.

 

Its a low miles (54,000 approx) local car to Oxfordshire, bought by a friends family then passed down until I purchased some years ago, I have original service and handbooks, all panels original, its never been welded (doesn't need any) or painted (although does have some age related marks in places) its totally original apart from the Compo wheels I fitted, I have the originals & electronic ignition.

 

This car really stands out and I will be sad to see it gone, however I'm just not using it and now my brother has a new show car of his own I'm worried this will just be back in dry storage, ive moved on into the Vw scene and if this sells then ill be looking at buying a Bay camper.

 

Prices are all over the place, I have this agreed value at £10,000 and would like to get as close to that as possible, I'm not in a major rush to sell so although open to a offer I'm not selling silly cheap, this is a hard decision for me as you don't see them like this very often.

 

I'm located in Oxfordshire my number is 07770978154 if anyone would like to discuss.

I've not advertised it anywhere and only put this up on Friday, I know it won't be to everyone's tastes or price but as said I'm not in a rush to sell, just seems a shame to leave it stored unused for the next foreseeable.

I personally would pay more for an Auto but 10k for a 4 door.. Sorry no. If this had come up a month ago for 5k, I would now own it. Sorry Colin but you might be 5yrs too early on this.

I was offered £7k nearly 2 years ago and again last year, tbh a month ago I wouldn't even of thought of selling, but life changes.

If I was still into Fords I would keep this, I haven't seen many as original as this, when ever I've seen one advertised or at a show they have all had paintwork of some sorts done. It's never going to go down in value, I love the auto as I have a dodgy back which effects my left leg, however I can't see me using it, I was quite happy letting my brother take it to shows and keep it running but as he's purchased something of his own it looks like it will be back with me soon.

I had a look at it today

I don't think it's for sale no longer as it had no sign in the window

And if you wanted to sell ,what better place and day than today !!

Yes it's for sale, I asked my brother to put a sign in it, but he keeps on about buying it, not spoke to him but obviously he didn't. As said I didnt take it as I was in Plymouth all weekend.

Based on auction data and other sales then£10k doesn't sound that unreasonable, Hagerty say £7.5k fair to £11.6k good.

 

But as ever, it is really worth what somebody will pay :)

 

S

Thanks it's Insured with Hagerty and they picked the value based on seeing the car at a show and market value, but I totally agree anything is only worth what someone will pay

Well feel free to let me know if a 300hp+ Forester Auto floats ya boat. Valued at 6.5-7k

A vw Bay window is calling, it's more inline with the shows I'm now attending and into these days. Spent last winter welding up my girlfriends and got a little hooked

I'm selling a late bay that I've restored if you're interested

Thanks, it all depends on price and if I sell the Mk2.

The market for them is similar to the Escorts and they just seem to be going up and up, but that's also the reason I'm thinking of moving over. I figure that they are both good investments for my pension fund, although at a ouch I could live in a bay

What sort of price are you looking for ? I don't think I can afford a nice one even if I get what I'd like for my escort.

I was offered a good price while it was at the Avo day & took a deposit.

Thanks for all the comments and advice.

It seems some people value them more then others and as we all said people will pay what they think it's worth.

Apparently hes a collector and it will be in his own personal collection along most of the other models he has.

 

I just hope he keeps it how it stands, although I realise it will be his to do what he pleases.
