Ford Escort MK3 - Unwanted rally car

[majic79]

At RoadRally HQ, we have a MK3 Escort Ghia that's been sat in the sun for a few years, unwanted and unloved. There's a lot of good bits there, including a bolt in safety devices roll cage. There's also some spares (new panels, including a new bonnet, too many to mention, but if there's any enquiries, I'll dig out a full list) and when Rally HQ boss's brother used to rally it, it did have a fair bit of money spent on the engine, sadly I can't confirm what work's been done to it (I'm told that the cylinder head has been ported and gas-flowed) but these parts are fitted:

4-2-1 exhaust manifold
Kent CVH-23 camshaft
K&N Pancake airfilter
RS2000 modified carb
bored out XR2 inlet manifold

Also has a quick rack, polybushed suspension all round and bilstein shocks. Most of the car is in good condition and won't take long to bring up to a useable standard. We know the cage is worth a minimum of £350, so we're after £500 for the full car with all the spares.

Some pics to whet your appetite....

Pity it's not in Ireland...

You could ship it....

True, but add transport and horrendous import duty, duty could be more than cost of car and its not cheap anymore...
