I know it...don`t get your hopes up too high. A friend of mine knocked it back about 18 months ago..was priced under £4k then.
Its had a fair amount of welding to the chassis and floor to get it through MOT`s in previous years. Dont know what work the latest owner has had done, as it was over a year ago i last saw it.
Its a chance you take buying a car without viewing.

I bought one without viewing recently. If it was not as described it would have stayed there.

Good luck with yours.

did ask questions about it on here before auction ended but no replys, no worries, just want it to go to events in and join the croud and mingle, not looking to show car , just bring back my youth, i have a ferrari as well but will boot it out of garage to put rs in, ha ha

[bigjohnie]

as i said good luck with the car i know the guy who bought it did do work on it since i last saw it ,so hopefully it will better.sorry if it sounded negative but you did ask for good or bad.

[Aled]

Look forward to seeing it...... you got some piccies?

[CAR3Y]

no dont worry about that, need to start somewhere, at least i have one, chap has some history and previous mots, trying to find out if mileage is correct, hpi checked it and it never bought up any mileage discrepensies, but didnt know if any one knew different, imy maye should be here with it soon, have not seen one up close in a long time, is there any clubs or meets near me in southampton ??

[bigjohnie]

theres a guy with a red escort popular in southhampton he will keep you right.dave robinsons the name comes on here

it has polished wider rs alloys, capri i think, am i better off trying to source original ones or stick with them, is it better to keep it 4 speed ??

[CAR3Y]

will look out for him thanks

[bigjohnie]

if its seven inch keep them. how often are you going to use it.i fitted a five speed to mine but it done quite a few trips down south,if its just for a sunday thrash then stick to the four gears

Don't try and keep up with the Jones's etc.

Do what you think you will like and enjoy. 4 speed for me is fine, but loads like 5 speed. Depends on your circumstances, mileage etc.
