Escort Cosworth Itch That needs scratched!!

[seanyboy]

Yeah around 12k- 15k, i reckon i will get a nice one for that, there was a nice mallard green on ph, ex concourse car for 15k im sure, had sensible mods, there was an imperial blue one on here aswell, few month ago i think, had alot done to it but for me it was to much.

big power off here brought the ex concourse..[think its petrol blue?] car & he was re selling it a couple of weeks ago so send him a pm...ya never know it could be yours!

Don't get hung up on ex concours as it doesn't mean a great deal, it might as well say ex mint.

My car is ex concours, as in I used to show it in concours class. I no longer show it and haven't cleaned the underside since 2009, the tca's, hubs & rack are covered in rusty bits but it can still be classed as ex concours!

A 20k car will always be a 20k car, the engine bay is easy to clean up with minimal outlay, just time.

[Mark-C]

Is that a 20K car? engine bay looks a mess!!

In my opinion .... no

Dont get me wrong im not looking for necessary a concourse car but have seen a few nice looking clean ones lately, i suppose if something catches my eye i will know thats the one, im sure you've all been there??

I might be wrong but I think there was a discussion about this car

Your right

I looked into buying this one a few weeks ago . I was told it was an import plus the seller is a cockhead buy all accounts there was other problems ( for me anyway ) that put me off the car so I decided to leave it alone !

Thing is iv never even been in one but i just love the look of them and im not looking for a money pit on cars thats had to many mods on it, if i see the right car at the right money thats when i'll go for it, i do think some prices people put on there cars are a bit unrealistic but thats just my opinion, at the end of the day its only worth what someones willing to pay for it.

what are you willing to pay

do you want modded or not because that i an other subject one i know little about in my humble standard is good

[Tonypastie]

I paid £8500 L reg big turbo in mallard green standard apart from 18 wheels for mine I reckon I need to spend about a grand on it
To sort abs issues
Mot and tax it as been stood up for a while
Get it tunned and set up
Some small bits of tidying up etc

But I new it was bottom of the barrel at that money but I am more than happy I think I got a bargain
I have always wanted one and if I love it as much as I think I will buy a better one one day but I looked at it as if it was bad I could break it for around 8k

Cheers tony
