Could this be the worst advert on PH?

http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1860276.htm

Seriously, how stupid must you actually be to think this will make someone part with £10k of their hard earned? It's also got to be one of the shabbiest Escort Cosworths I have ever seen, missing sideskirt, poor fitting front bumper and wing, cheap looking quad headlights, not even cleaned or polished!

Even the spelling and punctuation is sh*te.

An iconic legend of a car like this deserves a decent, well written advert.

Apologies, rant over, just people like this do my head in.

I'd hope that even a scammer would pick a better condition 'bait' car!

I especially like the following..

"..do not email as my email is knackered and i cant reply dont know wotz up wi it "

Terrible Advert, for what looks like a terrible example of the breed. I bet it is an utter dog of a car.

Anyone live close enough to go and have a look?

I can't stand poor adverts, especially when a good 15 minutes writing one and doing a spell check could be the difference between a sale or not!

Poor poor vehicle.

Don't you just feel sorry for these vehicles in the hands of such cretins.

Iconic car? Yes. Would I like one? Yes.

But they were mostly driven by the 80s equivalent of the chavvy thicko that wrote the advert though, so if anything the advert is in keeping with the car.
