Very nice GTE


Recommended Posts

Your car is stunning danny and i dont think you'd ever sell it. But £14 grand for that other one is still a big ask in my opinion. Ive said this before and I'll say it again.... prices may go up, but the reason im not a fan of mk1/mk2 escorts and cortinas is because of the price. It becomes a rich mans game then. I love my red hatch, its was £200 when I bought it and it probably owes me about £3000 now with everything ive spent in the last 9 years Ive owned it. If it had been a 10 grand car at the time I wouldnt be here.... would have probably bought a vauxhall corsa instead :ph34r: The 14 grand car in question is a lovely example, and its the choice of the owner to price it at what they want...... but if this is a sign of things to come, and a way of upping the values then i'll never be able to afford an exclusive coupe.....

No idea to be honest never thought about selling and to be honest I won't unless I really had too. I will be taking it to Spain when we go this year and was toying with fitting quads and englemanns. I don't know yet.

Sutty the seller has already stated that he will not achieve the the top line asking price that's why he's open to offers. to weed out the tyre kickers.

And as for the ford escort prices they don,t even come into it ,they do nothing for me.:blink: wash your mouth out and show some respect for MANTAMAN.:lol:

ps..might get to meet you at Weston park all going well.:thumbup

I remember that one gary,and it was a good un..and I'm pretty sure it sold for les than 3.5k....tbh I think its the renewed outside the club interest which has helped with the value's of manta's,for to long there was a buy for bugger all and break mentality on a what would now be a car worth saving...er and I guess that's me putting my cards on the table.:lol:

Where does this valuation come from? Well  you and I both know if this was yours, that's the price you'd be selling it for. :)

True!

Its low mileage cars in the ebay advert that will always be top of the manta pyramid, if run of the mill hatches are sitting at 4k, coupes 6,7 or 8k,  low mileage cars have got to worth alot more. 

The higher prices for the run of the mill cars go, of course that car with something extra, be it a low mileage, or i200, or 400 is going to rocket! Facebooks got nothing (positive) to do with it, 

Good luck to everyone buying selling cars at the minute! Choose wisely,

Picking the car up Sunday just done the deal over the phone been looking for an exclusive for about 5 years now by the time i have finished with it it will be concours i collect eighties classic cars albiet ford sorry guys a capri 1600GL that has won the nationals two years running a series 1 rs turbo that has won numerous awards and a Capri 280 that won the nationals twice and car of the year in 2009 in retro ford magazine. 

Had a long chat with Dan on the phone and the car is one of the best i have seen hence the purchase.

i will start to post some pics of the work undertaken in the near future.

I will let Dan tell you the purchase price if he wants to.

anything that the car needs it will get starting with a new dash.

Watch out for the updates. 

The car is a credit to Dan.

Wow, well done and welcome to the club:thumbup

Good to see the best cars making the best money and as they aren't making any more of them the value can only go up,

It would be nice to see you as a proper member so you can share the pics and history with us all.
