Jesus - I know Escort shells go for a bit but that's just taking the piss. Not worth a wank in my book.

it wont be the shell - they will be bidding for the VIN's and the V5 to put on another shell likely. Not worth that to me either.

Bargain

And people are bidding for that!!!!?As said they must be wanting the reg no/V5/VIN plate as I don't think even my scrap man would take that way!

good grief, i might go and dig out my old mk 1 mexico bodyshell from the place where i dumped it. the roof was caved in but it might be worth a look.

Sadly yes or buy a ringer which was never a GT in the 1st place...just a yellow 1100L

Either that, or maybe its someone who already has an escort bidding, who just fancies the free road tax

It was up to £10,100 earlier then it was wiped clean and they've now started bidding again.
I wouldn't touch that ad even if i wanted the plates, something's very dodgy about the whole thing.

auction fever.....crazy fools

.....only thing you could do is swap the plates to another shell,wont be origanal and worthless at that price.....oh the magic of ebay .....

Change the oil, kick the tyres, ready to rrrrrroll - how does anyone fall for this shite; I mean, what's it really worth to anyone? What's a good Mexico worth? ('cept it's still a cage, so foc all in my book

). Like paying thousands for a personalised no. plate - gimme a break!

mickvp · « **Reply #16 on:** 27 April 2014, 07:09:34 pm »

I see that bids now been cancelled - back down to £410

BBROWN1664 · « **Reply #20 on:** 27 April 2014, 07:36:38 pm »

The bidding reached £720 about 3 minutes before it ended then dropped to zero before finishing up at £25,100

Someone is taking the piss.

I reckon the seller has sold it privately and has had someone stick a mega high bid in to outbid everyone else.

red98 · « **Reply #22 on:** 27 April 2014, 07:38:33 pm »

Foc, its ended........was going to bid on that

BBROWN1664 · « **Reply #23 on:** 27 April 2014, 07:38:49 pm »

Why? He will have to pay eBay commission.

I would just cancel the auction.

not if the buyer never pays him

it will likely be a "new" account that has bought it so nothing is lost. I didnt know you could cancel an auction mid-way?
