Am collecting it at the weekend. It was left to me over 2 yrs ago and i have to collect and im strapped for cash so i need to sell it.
Its a 5dr, it hast been started in like 10 yrs so id say theres a bit of engine work to check it over before someone starts it

It can't be a 5 door. 1st Escort 5 door was the MkIII - c.1981

corktina

a two door would be worth big bucks....four door a good bit less.....

riggsi

not worth much :oi'll give yea 500 for it:D

245

Anywhere near me on the Curragh?

Should be worth a bit, especially if original but depending on the extent of rust. Pics would definitely help.

S.I.R

hmm, if its a 2door, its worht silly to crazy money, even the 5 door is worth a bit,


but fords rust bad so a fully inspection is needed. to me shes worth upto 2k, mint around double... but tbh, i wouldnt give a shade over 1500...


plenty aroudn to choose from, im not age picky...

hardly a 5dr. The first 5 dr ford made was probably the sierra.

corktina

first Sierra late 82.....first mk3 escort (ie 5 door) 1981ish (W reg in UK)

my money is on it being a typo for 4 door....

galwaytt

bag of popcorn says it's a MkIII - first gen fwd, at best.

carchaeologist

Is it a wind up.....:P

I know you're in Kildare, but would the Escort be in the Clontarf area by any chance?

corktina

Aye,that they were,and the mk2 was the same as the mk1,bar the very front,even the doors were mk1 items,wings for a mk2 estate are hard to come by!

carchaeologist

The difference between the two cars..

Ask a Moderator to delete this and start a new thread of your own would be a good first move.

mk1esc

so what escort have you got then? would be interested in it to buy if its a mk1...ive got 2 escorts (vans 1 mk1 n 1 mk2) n a mk1 fiesta.....as for value, how long is a piece of string, without viewing a car nobody can put a price on it....

@mk1esc, please don't drag up old threads. Feel free to start a new one though.
