JonnyT Posted January 20, 2007 Report Posted January 20, 2007 After sleepless nights, endless lists, hours of garage hunting, and coming to the conclusion I just cannot afford to run 2 cars, I'm goping to have to sell my beloved 2 door, mk2 escort. Words cannot even come clsoe to how poo I'm feeling, but kids etc all gotta come first...so...can anyone tell me roughly what she's worth?? I don't wanna look like a div putting it up to high, but at the same time i don't wanna let her go way under value, especially after all the blood, sweat and tears to get her here. 6 months tax (From Feb) & 7 months MOT... Spec (As much as i can remember): Engine & Transmission: Dave Longhurst Competition 1660 Xflow (711m), Race Cam (Not much below 4k then revs upto 8/9k) twin 45's, Kenlowe fan, Lumenition ignition, Facet solid state fuel pump, all new leads, cap & rotor arm, Ashley 4-2-1 manifold and 2 1/4" Single box system, (I was told rolling roaded at 160bhp, but to be honest I have no idea on real figure), 5 speed box, Single peice prop, 3.89 dif.

Wheels & Tyres: Black Superlites 7x13, compomotive competition nuts (Non corrode), BF Goodrich 205/50x13 fronts, 215/60x13 rears (All legal) Brakes & Suspension: 9" rear drums, Hydraulic Handbrake, Brake Bias Lever, think fronts are RS2000 setup. Not sure what front suspension setup is, told by a "Know-it-all" it's anti-dive, very stiff tho. Rear has spax adjustable shocks, Gartrac -2" springs (New bushes). Interior: Fully stripped out, 6 Point chunky cage, Plumbed in extinguisher (T pull on scuttle and on dash), Sparco Ultra buckets (Blue), Drivers 4 point blue sparco harness, passenger blue 3 point (Red in pic has been changed), blue anodised & suede astrali steering wheel, battery Igntiton switch on dash & T pull on Scuttle, Toggles for pump, coil, fan, reverse spot. Fully programmable Omex rev limitier & start control (Limits wheel spin/revs on take off), alloy passenger foot rest, rear firewall. Exterior: Just resprayed in FORD SIGNAL GREEN (J77), Alloy group 4 arches, alloy group 4 front spoiler, RS2000 rear spoiler, new Halogen headlamps, New tailights, Reverse Spotlamp, Alloy Bonnet pins, Stainless boot hooks, F.O.R.D Grille, Lombard RAC Rally number boards + Other Authentic competition decals...I'm sure I've missed tons from the list, but you get the idea, and here's the pics: Any guidance would be much appreciated. Cheers all, Jon
