Sheepy Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 Hi all, sorry if this is'nt in correct section, i've been offered from a friend who is escort mad, he has lots, a mk2 escort van, 1300, in good condition, paint faided slighty, but nothing some good old elbow grease wont fix, he knew i was after a van or estate, and as he does'nt use it alot, offered it to me, for €2000 (£1769, at todays rate) i will ask him for more details, year ect, (but its a mk 2) and will take some pictures when i look at it, (he works shifts and lives an hour away) i have to go look at it but i know he wouldnt try to con me, he's a decent bloke! so do you think its a fair price? thanks all
Admin Vista Posted January 16, 2010 Admin Report Posted January 16, 2010 Yes, if it's as good as you say it is.
over_head_cam Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 Sounds about right if all it needs is a bit of a polish up
Jiffer Posted January 16, 2010 Report Posted January 16, 2010 sounds a good price if not swiss cheese

Sheepy Posted January 16, 2010 Author Report Posted January 16, 2010 thanks, just wanted other opinions. didnt think it was a bad price, plans are to mabey put in a 1600 lump for now, and just tidy it up, but i want to keep it looking as standard as possible, just maybe some superlights!
Andrade Posted January 17, 2010 Report Posted January 17, 2010 oops slap memisspelt your name, sorry Andrade! you're welcome! the van looks like its in a very good shape too. They're not common vehicles so its not easy to come across a decent one.

Sheepy Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Posted January 20, 2010 Well as promised, im back with some more photos. (everybody likes pictures!) anyway, went over today, had a good look round it, it had been sat for a couple of months, motor stone cold, started with a little flick, no problem, then once warm, purred real nice. generally its in good state, although the wings are just starting to go, and it will need repairs to both inner sills, i found one previous repair, a plate of about 6x2 inches, but the rest seems to be original, its also low mileage, he is unsure if its genuine, but thinks it could be, as it used to be owned and used by a textile company, so no bricks or concrete! the rear doors are mint, as is the interior panels and floor! (unfortunately it has to sit outside now, as my friend has so many escorts, and not enough garage space, which he needs as he has been building up a rally mk1 for the "bucles de spa" next month) its a good event to see the oldies being used as they used to be, screaming round the rally tracks. anyway i'll stop waffling now and show you! oh, i forgot, yes i did buy it, and got it cheaper! result!

Sheepy Posted January 20, 2010 Author Report Posted January 20, 2010 its february 1980, 1300cc his wife used to use it to go to the shops or here and there, but he now has a mk2 estate for that duty, as its better suited as they have a kid, so the van was no longer used, he was not advertising it for sale, but when he new i was looking for one he offered me it! (knew it would be in good hands) what do ya all think!
Admin Vista Posted January 21, 2010 Admin Report Posted January 21, 2010 looks very good, see link under my sig for what potential a van has
