Awesome. You've gotta' wonder where it's been for the past 10 years though?? :confused:

HEADRAT · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:04

30K for an old Ford, for that kinda money you could have a proper car

Balls, someone's been at that with an electric drill.

Nice in it's day but looking very dated now. I can think of much better ways of blowing £30k.

HEADRAT · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:15

Also the statement:-

"JUST TO CONFIRM THE EXACT RECORDED MILEAGE OF THIS VEHICLE IS 192 MILES ONLY"

bothers me, its probably been around the clock

Not sure spending 10 years doing nothing at all in a garage is the best thing you can do to a car.

HEADRAT · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:19

Also what about service history, you still have to have a car serviced every year or so many 1000's of miles right?

I would rather have a second hand NSX.

ElRazur · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:24

That price just dosent seem right for that kinda of car, i could bring in 2scooby and possibly 2 dc5 from japan with that price. Oh well, whatever rocked the buyers boat.

I would say its genuine, bearing in mind that its from a specialised dealer that has some other nice cars looking at their other items.

Considering that it is likely to be the lowest mileage escorth cosworth available I would say it was worth the money.

Can't look at the listing as eBay is blocked at work but if it's genuinely the last cossie and has done that little mileage then it's maybe worth the money if you're going to stick it a museum. If you prefer to drive your cars then there's absolutely no point in buying it.

Yeah, for real. Better price, better performance, infact better everything.

Left hooker, yuk!

Word!

But, the escort has real character, is unmolested and a more renowned car than ageing sports car with the steering wheel on the wrong side.

The price will be so high because it is an escort cosworth, part of motorsport history. It will only increase in value.

I would take it over that NSX

nice seats

Zip · 30 Mar 2006 at 16:52

If i had 30k i know i what i would do with it.
I would buuy an MY00 Impreza sti and then turn it into a rally car

yer, thats really a little bit dodgey "L@@K 100 MILEZ COZZIE!!!!###!!"
(nb actually has pretty much 200, infact once you've test driven it it will!)

thats double the origenally stated mileage!

Bet you could make a load of money taking a car once round then doing it up to look new and selling it as having been garaged /show car all its life...
although i guess an hpi would show it up as being 9999 miles out!

lmfy2k · 30 Mar 2006 at 17:59

how can one tell if its the last cosworth to be made?

how would it be verified?
