I have driven those, as used by Russell Brookes of 'Andrews Heat For Hire' fame.  Driven all his spare cars fro Mk 1 Escort up to Manta.... :)

There's a few quid to be made in Malta. Escorts were 2 a penny the last time I was over there and there were plenty of them, anyone fancy a working holiday ::)

Mixed bag of responses. No i would'nt give that money for it but many of you are missing the point. I don't think the buyer will strip it for the 2 door shell & turn it into a 2.1 caged up track car. This is in no way a bad thing to do with a restored shell & the resulting car would be a riot to drive but there are cheaper projects availiable. This is a one off of a very popular car & if genuine then probably unique. Does everything have to be a Mexico/RS2000 to be worth saving?
   As for killerwanks comments i won't dignify them with a reply. ::)
    Despite the outlandish price i hope some one really enjoys this car. The fact it's a bog standard 1300L makes it worth more as most were unloved so never survived.
Quite ironic that you were one of the first to have a pop at me for using expletives as part of a normal conversation  ::)

Much to much money for a kart spring based live axle boat!

Not a bad car in its day but, over priced and not a pleasent thing to use on the modern roads.

There aren't many vehicles that are pleasant to use on modern roads, but that is only because the roads are f***ed.

I would argue that Mike (dare I! :D) as my brand new 1972 Escort was much better to drive than one of my then boy friends Anglia.  It was more refined, punchier, but yes I still had to fit a radio although at least it had a heater!! ;D ;D ;D ;) ;)
