Don't know who's it is but he has been trying to sell it since febuary on ebay first by auction now this is the 2nd / 3rd classified ad but it is not selling although if a real mexico the price is good . there was a post on here a week or two ago about this car which had numerous comments may be worth going through some old threads

Thanks, I had noticed it had been listed a few times

[Tracey]

The missus wants a Mk1, trouble is she will end up with a mint one and put mine to shame

I actually messaged the bloke because I couldnt see the strengthening plate om top of the engine strut tops. Turns out it has been reshelled but with an attitude like his: he will be holding on to this car for a while yet i reckon!!

 

Actual email response from seller below:

 

`i cant see any extra plates under the strut brace im afriad mate, im had a few emails regarding the "genuine shell lingo" surely at £7000 its worth that in bits? a 1.3L no sunroof shell in a rough state is worth £2000 so i would have thought a mint shell on the road with a puka engine and paintwork you can eat your dinner off inside and out would easily be worth £7k? sorry to sound harsh but i cant understand what people want for the money i sold 3 mk1 escorts last year for the same money and they were 1.1L models with some extras bolted on'

 

 

Dont think it was so much the fact that it wasnt a genuine shell, personally I think it is quite good money for the work done on it!! It just annoyed me that he is selling it as a genuine AVO car even though it is the shell that makes it a genuine car, surely?? He didnt seem to see it that way

That's when being in the trade I am in comes in handy

 

I agree he should change the listing to not read Genuine Mexico, false advertising, I wouldn't pay that price for it

 

 

Rick, your car is mate but a bit out of my price range
