Black
56,000miles
Full service History including MOTs
1 previous owner
Cambelt changed less than 1000miles ago at Graham Goode (+full service plugs/oil and fuel filter.....)
Lots of receipts including Safety recal from Ford (when they carried out a wirring check )
Total standard engine and car bar a change of head unit and steering wheel (original wheel is included with sale, looks like it has never been touched).
The paint work is absolutely outstanding, the photos don't do it justice. Will take some more next time the sun is out.
The spare wheel still has the original Dunlope tyre and looks as though its has never been fitted.
The car was bought from Polar Ford and is registered on an E plate. The car still retains its original polar ford number plates. That impressed me when I bought the car anyway 
I would like about £9500 for the car. If you are after an original unmolested example then I don't think you will find one better.
Only done a short add, but if anyone is genuinly interested PM me and I will give you my contact details.
Thanks
Stewart

its a k plate lux model, which has been reshelled into a newer shape (brand new) shell due to a crash. it was bought as a rolling shell from Paul at north yorks. he also fitted my engine etc which was from a late shaff bought from doug off here.
its radient red
full leather which is mint
electric sunroof
c/l
electric mirrors
electric windows.
the engine is very very good, and extrememly quiet, it is standard except a cone filter.
18" dark chrome alloys with as good as new tyres
rs500 style cooler
clear indicators
the body work is in extremely good condition with only 3 minor scratches which i will get photos off.
this is a very good escort cosworth, the body is near mint, the engine is sweet as, the trim is mint.
despite being a reshell it is NOT on the hit list and completely hpi clear
im asking £8k as one side will need painting due 2 key marks. if i dont get that then il keep it and continue with my mods as i had planned

It's a reshell, so V. scary - shell could be of any origin and wouldn't touch with a barge pole. Also fitted with most disgusting wheels this side of Southend on a Saturday night so not realy worth a wank.
If your gonna buy a Cosworth, you buy the best you can, that means no re-shells, all original, mint, and plenty of history.
That thing's probably only fit for a bit of grass track racing/rallycross. Possibly not even that (could be a ringer, or a 1.6L 2 door shell with dodgy paperwork)
