I think this may qualify. A superb example of a Jago Jeep, finished in puke yellow. Based on a perfectly good Ford, then someone spent a significant amount of money making it much, much worse. I think the highlights of this particular example are the colour-coded rocker cover, the rally seating (for four with harnesses), the Momo steering wheel and the bitumen inspired dash.
The best part is that it hasn't reached it's reserve yet and the bidding is up to £1900 on the bay. I seriously think I am living on the wrong planet :o

I remember my brother getting one of these back in the 80's. His mate came to our house and said, wait until you see what he's brought.
You could hear this thing about 1/4 of a mile away, it had a Essex V6 fitted and was so loud.

Would not be my choice of colors for a car but to each their own. Maybe bat woman is visiting and it is her car as I see a Bat sign on the gate?

Purple and lime green car with "batman" gates. Obviously a lot of money but you have to ask the question, WHY?

An 80’s ‘scort’ with an understandably long gone Rattlesnake body kit…the description says….I kid you not…The escort is believed to be the missing Rattlesnake escort’…. :lol: Missing according to whom…? Somehow I don’t think it’s in the same ball park as Del Boys missing mariner timepiece fetching £6.2mill as this piece of 80’s junk along with rust is yours for around £10k….mugs line up…. :P

See now we're talking! £95 and I might be interested. Actually no; a Mk4 escort cabriolet was never on my aspirational list, especially that one.
A "missing car"? The only thing that's missing is taste. :thumbsup:

Another peachy little number…a once cracking car turned into, as so many are, a boy racer utter s**t box…complete with oooohhhhhh bad boy bonnet as they’re called, half roll cage bolted to absolutely nothing, chequer plate subs box, no back seats and ‘Racing car’ fronts to complete the look of this Dagenham bag of shite dustbin….I can only imagine the rust and hidden horrors this lump of crap is hiding….yours for a start bid of £5,500….line up either the very drunken brave or the rose tinted specced 10yr old chavs for this one…

Depends totally on miles and condition Boris. Under 20k miles and a garage queen for a late model as this is you’re looking at minimum £25k +. A 10k mile black early MK4 recently went for £40k. Say it’s on 90k miles and good to excellent with none of the usual rust issues then yes 15-£20k as you say.

I despair of the human race, if that is anything to go by. My only hope is the 'enhancements' were done when Mk4 RS Escorts were ten a penny. There will be members of the RS Owner's Club standing on bridge safety rails when they cop an eyeful of that :o
