MK 2 Escort Harrier ..... worth

[DAP1]

I am contemplating putting My Escort Harrier up for sale ..... i haven't seen any trade for ages anywhere ... if i said it was 38k 9/10 car with every bit of history going back to 1981 what do you think that should fetch in the current climate ...

Any ideas ? i still have the bill of sale original tyres etc etc

[Tyre Smoke]

Please tell me it's not still on the original tyres?

[Gompo]

..About the same as last time you asked, I'd reckon.

They arent in demand so much, just rare - I'd say for a mint standard one upto £10-12k but more likely around £8k.

[mollytherocker]

I used to love these when I was a kid.

Got any pics you could post?

[rsstman]

i`ll give you £40 for it. deal or no deal?

[PATTERNPART]

Probably rarer than the Mk 2 Mexico and RS2000 by now. I would have thought £5K region. It was really a dressed up 1600 Sport with RS wheels and some other nice additions but any decent Mark 2 with two doors and a solid shell is good news financially.

Thx chaps i dip dip my toe in last year to find out a bit about value looks like they may of dropped a bit but seen some RS,s go for quite a bit of late .. heres a pic of mine

[Gompo]

Dont expect a few miles to have changed it too much?

[DAP1]

HAHA Gompo im flattered you have kept some piccys you seem a fan of these old cars ?? ..... she now resides at my parents to make way for my new toy, I have had the wheels stripped and she has had the bumpers/ petrol tank repainted satin black ( not gloss !!!) as some people do ..... and i had to replace the tyres the 27 year old ZX Michelins were about to turn to dust but i still have them !!

...To be honest, I hosted these pictures for you in your last thread here about 18 months ago. I didnt want your old thread to mess up so kept them on my account - good that they've come to good use again!

I've owned 3 Mk2 Escorts (sold my last 3 years ago, I think), and deep down would like another but it probably wont happen for a while if at all. They're a good laugh and I love their looks.

There's so many cars out there I'd like to own so really I should experience some other things before I get another.

that looks lovely. i really like mk2 escorts but refuse to pay the prices for them. i had one as my second car for £200 so £5k seems wrong.

[1602 driver]

id almost take out a loan to buy that, i love harriers.

[rallycross]

Harrier was just a 1600 sport so it has no huge value unlike an RS but a mint shell it worth a lot and for somoene who fancies a mint RS2000 butcant afford the going rate (£6k to £10k) then a Harrier at £5k maybe bit more might sell... depends how much its worth to you to keep, it not going to go down in value if you can keep the rust away

[1602 driver]

true, but the harrier is rarer than the rs2000, but was a sales success, the mk2 mexico is rarer than both, i think 800 or so produced and was a sales failure, if the harrier was in strato silver it would be worth nearer £7-8k, its just hard to beleive the value of these now, mk2 rs 2000s especially, but i would settle for the harrier, but id pay near the same for a mint 77 1600 sport in calypso green with matching cadiz interior, it the colour that denotes value a lot as well as condition.
