Less desirable than a used septic tank?

@simon_g I love that that has only one seat.

Where else would the chemical toilet go (or would you not have one and just dig your own hole?)?
The seller's name
The roof box converted to an elevating roof is a nice idea.
I wonder if you can fit Carver tech under one?

[John]

At least you'd only need to carry one levelling ramp.

That would be shit company.

If I rolled over in my sleep I think I’d take the whole thing with me!

Fvck me
Or spend that money on an actual decent car which isn't a horrific parody.

Who buys/makes these turds?!

[Beany]

Ford freaks are weird. >£1800 for a car that'll end up with a chassis like the ship of theseus/triggers broom once all the welding has been done.

Rotten shed clicky


Panels


Sills


...and Why yes, that is the ground you can see right next to the suspension turret.

And that's before even starting on the biohazard that is the interior, never mind an engine that'll likely need a full rebuild.

[ZedLeg]

Probably just buying for the vin?

[Beany]

I can see that for a Mk2 Escort or a Cossie, but for an XR2? Are they that desirable now?

(You know, to Ford Freaks, not to sane people)

[Sundayjumper]

So I take it XR2s are now at the same point as Mk1 & 2 Escorts, that the value is entirely in obtaining a clean V5, to <ahem> "reshell" it using a good condition stolen one ?

[Sundayjumper]

Are they that desirable now?

You just posted a link to an auction that (probably) proves they are !!

[Beany]

Apparently so.

I remember them being rusty bags of shit twenty five years ago....

[Rich B]

I imagine the body kit is worth a bit these days?

[Sundayjumper]

TBF, it still is a rusty bag of shit. But is Ford Fanboi.

[Rich B]

Buy this:

Swap paperwork and make a few grand.

[ZedLeg]

It's the RS turbos that are making big money now but I'd imagine XRs aren't far behind.

What Rich posted is probably what's going to happen.

[DeskJockey]

Even if it was mintier than a bottle of creme de menthe in a field of mint surrounded by toothpaste I still can't see why it would be an exciting car.
