Just browsing thru ebay as I'm going to be selling off some stuff over the next month or so, came across this ad...

 

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-mk1-2-door-/161168136448?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25865e9900

 

 

 

 

Are they really fetching that sort of price ?

 

Just I got a pair as good or maybe slightly better that has the old type card door trim which I believe is from a van or estate ?

 

I thought the prices had dropped slightly ............ maybe im wrong !!!

i certainly wouldnt pay that!

 

i reckon they are worth £200 for the pair, but thats just my opinion

There not even worth that.they need skins for a start.Although i did get offered £600 for my pair the begining of the year but there mint and could of sold them for more but they stay under wraps just in case i decide to put them back on.

agreed, they do look a little bit scabby underneath and will need work

 

as soon as people list anything escort related they seem to just lose all sense of reality and see $$$$$ signs

You ain't kidding - saw a pair of NOS Mk2 RS2 wings up for £1200! Alright you'll probably never find another pair but come on!

I sell these for £300 the pair when i have them in stock.after market but no difference fitting wise.

Its just Ebay syndrome . Its just someone hoping someone with more money than sense will buy them . Its the same as with houses , someone with want £200.000 for there gaff , so the next person thinks well if someone pays that there might pay £210,000 etc . Just greed really .

im after a pair for a mk1 escort, not fussed about the style of wheel arch as they will be converted to bubbles

 

.... hmmm i wonder if you can buy all steel bubbled wings?

i brought two gen ford complete door skins an fitted them to good frames for that sort of money i know what i would rather have

As said earlier i 've kept mine but fitted fibre glass ones.what a nightmare to fit they were.

Anything is only worth what someone is prepared to pay

that is pure greed....and if some mug pays that for them

then that will only encourage another greedy bastard to

do the same when they list their stuff....its a shame

but unfortunatly there are people out there who are trying

there hardest to rip off the classic car community.nuff sed

If anyone can Jam escort mk1 In the title the price seems bonkers....I am shocked at what I have seen some people pay for parts tbh the cheese wedge washer bottle Is the crazy one saw one sell for £200 couple of months ago unbelievable Its Just £200 so Its the correct type and looks right you can get a universal Jobbie for pennies compared to that!!

Posted

I had a cheese wedge washer bottle which i decided not to use, stuck it on fleebay for a tenner hoping somebody could use it and it went for about £80, to say i was shocked was an understatement, i considered throwing it in the bin before listing it

Posted

I never throw anything away anymore, most things are useful to someone

I was amazed I sold the std front struts (they were disk tho) and Servo tbh a few year ago I would have weighed em In..

Posted

I have a pair here, need work but solid, will take some pics in the week if anyone interested was thinking more £250 ono.

 

 

They are early twin cam type, door lock in the handle.
