Tidy looking 400se on eBay

[Yatesy350i]

Sorry can't do links from poxy eBay mobile on iPad.

But it's item number 151289133601. Looks a belter. Rear spoiler isn't my taste but the rest of it looks great.

Hold the address bar for a few seconds, let go, then tap the address bar again for the cut|copy|paste etc.

No address bar on eBay mobile Jeff.

I can log into the normal eBay site via Safari but the Safari app itself dies all the time. It's the price of having a very old iPad I'm afraid. Wife's iPad mini works a treat. But I can't get it off her

Cheers Karl

Ah. Not using that myself, assumed it were a browser. Hangs head in shame.

I've seen this carb'd one before, but what is the perception of such a conversion? Being unfamiliar with the RV8 I'm guessing simpler to work on, as no each, but cruiser results in terms of economy and performance?

Hi all

The red 400se was mine. I sold it to Steve as I have a hankering to rekindle my youth and return to rear wheel drive escorts.
It's a good honest car and runs well. I also hated the spoiler to begin with, but once I removed it, I missed seeing it in the rear view mirror. So I put it back on and grew to love it. I have an unused TET 400se spoiler that I never I never used if anyone's interested? Make me an offer, Collection only. Boston Lincs or Milton Keynes.

What do people think of this motor at this price?

I spoke to the chap selling and he tells me it is in VCG and needs nothing (but he is a dealer!)

I did PM Woz (the last owner) but have not yet had a reply (Woz, did you get my PM?)

It is five hours away from me, so just about impossible to view before I buy......and do I want to buy unseen and undriven?

Ooooooooh, what to do what to do.

5 hours or not, there's no way I'd spend that kind of money without viewing and test drive!

I know what you are saying, but the thought of a 10+ hour drive just to view....and then to do it all again if I buy.

I have bought unseen before now off eBay. Never had a problem before. Never say never though......

This is why I was asking if there was anyone out there in the Nottinghamshire area who could go and have a look for me.

Anyone have any contact details for Woz at all?
