    Who in their right mind?....

    ...would give £800 for this?! Even with the way Escort prices are this is true optimism. Just look at the pictures.

    I know this car, it has sat for as long as I can remember (with about 4 cars on top) in a scrapyard a few miles away from me.

    Even 10-15 years ago when I asked about it, I was told it wasn't for sale as it was going to be used for a kit car.

    The bloke who ran the place was always a knob and hated young lads like me and my mates going anywhere near his yard.

    Wouldn't give him the satisfaction of paying that for it!!

    Even before looking at the pic's, I would be put off, simply by the dreadful English/Grammar. Now don't get me wrong, i am far from a 'snob' but apart from the punctuation, I got the impression that he was lying as well?

    Rear bumper and running gear would be about it.

    Everything else is rusted, dented or broken.

    Was a nail 15 years ago
