GJUK Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I've been made aware of a mk2 escort, its a 2 door in red with MOT. FSH from new, last owner has had it 22 years. Shes had an offer of £1200 for the car and she wants the 'best' offer so appears to be playing a bit of an auction. The seller and myself have no idea what its worth these days. £3k? Thanks, Jon
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted January 3, 2011 Report Posted January 3, 2011 I would say if it was a mint unwelded straight car then 3500-4500k easy. I sold a bare shell only 2 months ago that need a new roof skin and a few other bits for almost 2k!
GJUK Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Posted January 3, 2011 I've not seen it yet but it has had 'some welding'. Sounds like its cheap then, I'm going to see it tomorrow. Jon
4DOOR-SHERWOOD Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 nice one mate!! Get some pics up when u can!
mk3cokebottle Posted January 4, 2011 Report Posted January 4, 2011 im geussing your offer was £1700 come on what did ya get it for ?
GJUK Posted January 4, 2011 Author Report Posted January 4, 2011 I'll post back when I get the car back here over the weekend.

Chris! Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 I'm sure I've seen that around West Bridgford
Davewrc Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Did u leave her crying, surrounded by tire smoke with only a number 11 on the drive way to remember it by? Very nice anyway dude.
GJUK Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 I'm sure I've seen that around West Bridgford It was in Edwalton
mk3cokebottle Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 come on then how much i see that at about 4-5k on ebay
gjh Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Looks like you had a bargain. Keep it, lower it, get the steels banded, and stick a hot xflow under the bonnet.
GJUK Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 Did u leave her crying, surrounded by tire smoke with only a number 11 on the drive way to remember it by? Very nice anyway dude. haha no mate, very nice lady (last owner of 22 years). Everythings mint in it, even the seats are as new as shes used covers on them. Needs a little welding on the arches and a bit of general tlc but it drives true.
GJUK Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 come on then how much i see that at about 4-5k on ebay It was less than 4-5k!
GJUK Posted January 8, 2011 Author Report Posted January 8, 2011 Looks like you had a bargain. Keep it, lower it, get the steels banded, and stick a hot xflow under the bonnet. yeah, tempting. It's got 9 months MOT and tax and I've insured it for the year now so... we'll see.
Mick The Cabbie Posted January 8, 2011 Report Posted January 8, 2011 Looks like you landed on ya feet with that one Jon!! Looks a peach I'll ave to pop over for a nosey at some point
In The Pit Posted January 11, 2011 Report Posted January 11, 2011 The only thing i'd be changing on that is the number plates i'd get some pre 2001 font ones and use it just as it is, its perfect and very few standard 2 doors about anywhere these days.
