THERE IS NO LOG BOOK OR NUMBER PLATES ON THIS CAR ... I CANT READ THE REST OF THE NUMBERS ... THE CHASIS NUMBER MAY BE READABLE IF THE PAINT IS SCRAPED AWAY, WHICH IM NOT GOING TO DO

IT WILL BE DOWN TO THE WINNING BIDDER TO APPLY FOR THE V5

Ha, ha, you couldn't make it up!

Except he did. Old Escort 1300 tarted up as RS 2000.

It does seem a bit strange how so much straw is laying about (like a bale exploded) but there is nowhere to actually store any bales?
There's some interesting stuff lurking in there though!

Surely there is a vehicle crime unit that would take an interest in this - any contacts one here?

I love the comical placing of the boxes on the roof.

There appears to be a minty Sprite and a Healey in the background too.

The same guy found a load of new trainers and mountain bikes (and basmati rice...) in the same barn just after the 2010 riots! Arf Arf !!

there is no way that a mark 1 escort in that condition is a barn find - that car has been recently restored otherwise it would be a rust old wreck.

Can someone local not arrange a viewing PDQ, just to get the location, for forward enquiries?

Maybe also their selling history - they are not a new ebayer, and will be easily traced.
