Wanted Mk2 Escort Overrider

They might be 80s chic, but desirable on the specific cars they certainly are when you see the price of them!

When the first one split several decades ago I did remove them all because I liked the European Mexico look without them but as I reinstated the stripes and other unique things about the car I got more nostalgic and often impressed by the small originality details on Ray's and other members cars here that I decided to reinstate them. I may have left my search a bit late though as finding even one has proven very elusive.

Thanks for keeping an eye out for me. Unfortunately that's a different shaped one up top and also has a protector strip cutout. You would be surprised how many types  there are out there all with subtle differences!

Look at ebay Germany on a regular basis.   www.ebay.de   and in the search field enter   "Stoßstangenhorn Escort mk2"  then press the blue "Finden" button. Report back here if you see something you like.

Thanks so much for that! Never would I have known the German word for Overriders. The three that came up aren't the one I am looking for but you have given me a whole new way to keep searching thats never been open to me before. Its brilliant!

Oh they nice! All new with boxes. They aren't a set though like the seller claims, you can see the two different types one with angled sides and the others not. The type that came on my car are the more rounded sided ones but with one extra face on the top. Most like those in that auction seem to be flat on top then angled 90 degrees down to the front whereas my one has two faces to stem to the front instead. Also without the protector strip cutout. Its amazing how many different types there are!

God damn got sniped in the last 2 seconds, went to 175 pounds and got done at 180 pounds! Its now getting ridiculous, maybe I should sell the three I have just to get some money back for a change! Ive been years at this and still cant get one laying down some heavy cash. Im really getting p*ssed now! Stayed awake till 3am just to get these!

Oh that's a bugger.

Its always a gamble to put in you best /highest bid.

I always think of what I want to pay, and then ad some extra money , that I don't want to pay, just so I get the item.

I guess you are thinking, I wish Id put on a higher bid ,now

Perhaps you could email the seller and see if he will pass on your details to the new buyer, with maybe a little bit ontop he might onsell them?

Ive done that before, everyones motives are different and cash is king for some.

He's probably still swearing at me though for driving the price up! LOL As Miniliteman will attest they were at 26 pounds with 60 seconds to go and finished at 180. I bet the seller got a huge shock checking one minute to the next LOL It would be funny if he just wanted one also we could have split it!
