Hi just after opinions please as looking to trim down some of my cars due too lack of space and having too many cars and not enough time with doing other ppls cars
Car is a s1 escort rs turbo non custom ,which in the rs turbo world are rare ,no sunroof elect windows or central locking basically like a motorsport option from fords when new , most people opted for the custom pack which was surprisingly cheaper than the non ccustom obviously everyone bought the custom ones ,meaning non customs were always rare anyway
anyway enough background
live owned the car for around 4 years and before that the chap I got it from had had it stored in a farmers lean too for around 8 years
The car is original and complete and all there 100% , 34k genuine miles (probably as been off road so long)
things like kit having never been removed and as near mint as can be with no screw holes ,splits etc etc still has genuine tow eye cover too ...
Its hpi clear and has a fairly low amount of owners for the type of car think its 12 but bear in mind car is from 1985 and from new these were passed around like hot potatoes due to hot hatch insurance prices and thefts etc
Also worth noting there are less than 30 non customs left and currently registered on the database and only ever around 10 roadworthy at any one point to give an idea of rarity over the custom models
around 600 customs still registered maybe more
sadly even in such a time warp condition its suffered at the hands of tin worm !!!! Make no mistake it needs a lot doing but I've personally done worse so don't see it as a problem myself ,but would just take up soo much of my time doing it to the standard it needs
low mileage examples of these cars change hands for silly money and done correctly feel it should be a solid 6-8k car all day long (reserved estimate as still rising in value )
not really sure what to advertise car @ but am thinking around £3.5k Ono
am I far off on price do you guys think ?
i was offered 3k more than once a couple of years back hence my thinking and already have one finished and done hence contemplating sale of this one ??
opinions please
And car below
Comments and opinions welcome and realise it may cause some controversy as some people just won understand the rarity but please no silly derogatory comments please thx
