    All depends on the sort of spec the car has been built too really. But at the end of the day it's only worth as much as someone will pay for it.

    But I'll guess anything between 15 and 40k all dependant on spec and build quality of course.

    Get some photo's of the car up.

    The shell looks like its had too much work towards fitting the cossy to bother removing it (it can be but doesnt make much sense)

    Value depends on whos looking at the moment for a turbo'd wide arched mk1, then the parts its been built with and the attention to detail - it looks lovely, you must have an idea of what you would like just put it up for that- circa 30-35k id imagine? It will either sell or it wont, escorts tend to move hands quickly if theyre priced competitively, but then again its an odd time to sell at the moment
