Billm Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 Hi, a mate has come across a Mk1 Escort rolling shell and sent me these photos. The guy started work on it but is now looking to sell it. All I know is it's a 2 door Mk1 rolling shell. He didn't say if there was an engine, if there is it'll probably just be an 1100 / 1300 anyway. As for anything else, assume if it's not in the photo it isn't there. The car is located overseas but he can arrange to get it back. Any ideas what it's worth back here in UK as a project car on eBay ? thanks
notenoughtime Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 Is there a V5 or paperwork what’s the rust like, no gearbox in it at the moment

I am prepared to pay for the shipping, Duty, VAT and the V55 registration to get it Registered with DVLA if it is worth selling in UK. I have no more info regarding condition, all I have are these 3 photos he sent me. It must have had a decent engine at some point looking at the diameter of the exhaust pipe, but I'll assume there is no engine or propshaft either
notenoughtime Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 That’s probably the risk you take might be worth 2k might be worth 5k only worth what someone is willing to pay at the end of the day! until you actually have proper pics or details it’s very difficult to value
Rich T Posted May 13, 2020 Report Posted May 13, 2020 You'll need the owners logbook when you go to register it in the uk. The original, not a copy.The dvla will ask for it.

Or a dating certificate from a V765 registered owner's club........but it will need to have the chassis plate still attached and the chassis number stamped in the strut top for that to be possible. RHD, Malta by any chance?
