morcheen Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 worth buying and selling it on at least ,for someone else to restore . nice find
Mick The Cabbie Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 Exactly the same thing happened to me about 18 months ago! I was burning about in the Escort and an old boy stopped me & told me that his son had parked a Mk2 Escort in the garage many many years ago. I wasnt a minter. Was quite a snotter really. Still was worth havin tho. It would of been a mahooosive resto project, so i sold it on to the oval hotrod boys. Cant wait to see pics of the Capri. I have a real soft spot for Mk2 3.0S's
Guest cortinamad-gonetoo Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 all i ever get offered is shit
tina2 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 I missed out on a one owner Mk1 Escort 2 door automatic with 13000 miles on it. Knew about it for long enough but never did anything about it. Car is still local but I doubt it could be got now
Yeomans22 Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 if its dry in the garage, you should be in luck, wish this sort of thing would happen to me, i come across osf's in peoples drives but they wont sell.
stevepeanut Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 I got offered a free MG, I did the guys loft and it was sat on his drive for years. I got chatting cos I love most old cars, he was proper pissed off and sick of it sitting there, so says I could have it and he'd give me a ring, but never called me in the end
