This car would have to absolutely immaculate for that money, because thats the kind of price it would cost to restore one to a high standard.

MAD MAD MAD .. GUY LIVING IN  A DIFFERENT WORLD........

Maby he is is in a different world but if the car is rust free then ?? & if it came to Ireland or Britain & was to be converted to Rhd that would cost a lot also, but Mark williams has mentioned the black sport in we seek them up for ?15k so would it be a better buy if its a clean 131 & Rhd? & in my experience there is always hidden rust, so how could you value this car without stripping at least some of it so see whats there?? maby the owner knows its good & can prove it, if so 20k you could spend  restoring a 131 sport no problem & if not doing the work your self much more.

the car may be a bit expensive for me anyway, but think what mark 2 escorts were/are making and in comparrison to the 131 sport are pretty common so if the car is truly as clean and genuine as the add says it will be worth it to somebody,also it can only help to increase the value of all the other 131 sports out there, after all it is practically impossible to build a fake sport unlike the  escorts,

crazy money, if you dont mint a bit of work buy my car and save 18,000euro

[curt]

For that money you have press tools made and build a new shell 

[sid131]

sorry curt i wish that was true, do you have any idea what it takes to restore one of these beauties?

[hector]

Well if I knew I could have bought a good one for that money I would have as 25k into my one and it is only starting to look good enough, sure spent nearly 1500 on cutting disc and grinding discs but look forward to giving a good hard run 

[mirafioriman]

Not many Escorts sell for 20,000. Just as not many people have 20,000 to spend on an old car (or a new one for that matter.)

I certainly (if I had the money, which I don't) would not be buying it without going to see it and giving it a thorough inspection!

Always nice to see a really good example of a particular car.

Hector I hope 1500 on cutting discs is a joke, otherwise I recommend buying a Plasma cutter it will work out cheaper.

Has the car got any specail history with it but as Sid says how much would it cost to restore one of these cars but if love a car you will pay the money as in the last few years too many people have been treating classic cars as investments and not as peices of pleasure. If people want to invest in metal try the comodity markets, if you love cars try the classics for sales in the paper....
