Wheeler Dealer ESCOS on Northwest Euro

[VADreamer]

The Wheeler Dealers Escort with the (horrible IMHO) double wing is up for sale on Northwest Euro. https://www.nweuro.com/inventory

[The Radman]

it looks a reasonably tidy car,lots of little bits to do/replace but nothing major looking,have the horns been replaced with those weird looking red things? and totally agree about the wing thing,looks awful

[CHRISP]

possibly the going rate for a car with that mileage

[Darrenaf]

looks a nice car tbf, but the first thing i'd do would rag that monstrosity off the tailgate.

[Potter]

The spoiler is hideous in my opinion..

[Wing Commander]

I thought another chap designed the car?

[Dave]

Holy shit balls, that's ugly


It's the first-time I've seen it as I don't watch WD

Also what's going on with the VIN number? Are they assigned new numbers when they're imported into the states?

[VADreamer]

Dave,
not always. That is one of the cars imported by Sun International Racing circa 1994-1995. Back then, Ford required them to remove all Ford badging so people wouldn't show up at a dealer expecting warranty work. Sun sold them as a Cosworth RS with their own VIN. When I imported my car before the 25-year waiver, it was assigned a "replacement VIN" that matches the original VIN.

[Dave]

Good info mate thanks for that

[cossiedan]

Nice car, bloody awful double wing, glad Ford rejected that double wing.

[Cochyn]

You can see the guy "who designed it" on the programme wasn't pretty bitter that Ford didn't go for the 3rd wing. Thankfully they didn't, looks like a total dumpster fire.

Wow. That Sainz WRC tribute he just posted up is a serious piece.
