Really, given the price of 2-door Escorts now, that's probably worth repairing, if you can get/fabricate the panels.InitialDave said:

Hold up, was there ever a Dutton that'd take a Jag straight six? Smells doubly fishy to me.Cliftonite said:
Fifth time that one has been up. eBay remove it and it's relisted the same day. It makes you wonder what kind of recruitment process they have.

Q plated so could be a Dutton & that capacity could be over sized Rover V8. But naughty that it is just a V5C
Mmm, it just happens to be precisely the same size as a Jag straight six, which makes me more inclined to believe it's that than something else.Steffan said:
Without any reference, description or any detail whatsoever, relating to an actual vehicle, this suggests to me that itus simply an attempt to sell a V5 to be used on another vehicle entirely. Bad news! Well spotted!
Oh, it's dodgy alright.More I was thinking that the engine seems very likely to be a Jag 4.2, and I can't think of a Dutton that would be fitted with one, so perhaps this is its second go on the "using a Dutton reg to legitamise a non-IVA'd kit" merry go round.
Are these worth stealing if they cost £150 to ring?

Vague description. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/201695980705?ul_noapp=tr...
A good 70's Honda Monkey bike can be worth as much as £5,000
On that's a few years old up to £2,000

Caveat Emptor was never more essential in buying cars and motorcycles.
Extreme Care and thorough Investigation is essential.

I find somewhat surprising that such clearly misleading adverts attract the unwary.
They obviously do! Avoid like the plague!!

£1400 seems a bit pricey, are people really prepared to pay that? His other item is the rolling chassis.

If I were a police officer investigating car theft it would not be difficult to find stolen cars!
Just scour previous ebay ads for V5's & Chassis plates, check what has since had a recent MOT turn up to the latest registered address & find yourself a ringer.
It would not be difficult would it?

You'd catch a lot of rung motors for sure but not all stolen, most are just a way of easy reging a kit car, another large lump of regs are used to avoid road fund payments, then there are the upping the spec, 1300L 2 door escorts becoming an RS2000 ect ect, i would say a miinoraty are to ring stolen vehicals nowdays, still too many but not as many as people think.Just scour previous ebay ads for V5's & Chassis plates, check what has since had a recent MOT turn up to the latest registered address & find yourself a ringer.
