I think he's a decade or two too early to be taking a stab at that money. Down the line it's originality may mean it could demand big (£) numbers.

That is horrendous. I especially like that the spoiler is clearly collapsing.

Most cars are overpriced at the moment eh.

Market is nuts, and some people paying some stupid prices.

I am struggling to see any Mk5 Escort as a classic, they were and always will be dog shxte.

The MK3/4 weren't really any good either but at least they had the XR3i/RS1600i/RS Turbo to give them some kudos, even the hot MK5's were garbage, especially when you remember what Peugeot were offering at the time.

I was saying similar to a mate the other day. Anything remotely ‘interesting’ is mega money now. I also used the mk5 escort example. Who would pay more than £350 for one now? Cosworths I can understand, but a 1.4 LX that’s failed four MOTs for rotten sills over the years? vomit

Well, that's nasty. I thought I'd click the link and see if it looked any better from the other angles. It does not.

You would have to REALLY want to drive a 30 year old Escort to buy that...

Or be a tele production company producing something set in 1992...

”Outstanding condition” yet the last MOT has a very telling advisory for “Questionable repairs to OS & NS rear chassis”, although apparently it’s been fixed…
