So, a Mk1. Two door. Very low mileage. Tax free. Has the larger auto transmission tunnel. You'll be saying it has no sunroof next just to make
it tick all the boxes!!

It wouldn't surprise me either. To think ive turned my nose up at paying £200 to £300 for 1600 mexico,s be cause it was to dear when I was 17.
And the scrap yards was full of them. If only you could see in to the future.

Heres a little story. When I was 17. Im now 54. My dad took me to look at a 1300s Mk1 Escort that was up for sale. £400 was the asking price. It was a
bit battered, and I was humming and areing. The bloke said to me if you don't fancy the Escort you can have this for the same price. It was a
Mk1 Lotus Cortina. White/green stripe. I said no it is to old fashioned. Came home in the Escort. When I look back now I could cry (and sometimes I
do).

But if you had bought the car at 17, what are the odds you would still have it 37 years later? You would have sold it on or put it in a tree.

Quick look on Autotrader shows 3 1.3s being advertised at £8K
So maybe ~£5k for an auto is not an unreasonable offer.
probably worth more in bits though

My father used to run an auto leasing company, they got a load of base MKI escorts in for stock, had to send them back after two months of standing
outside as rust holes started appearing at the rear of the front wings 
I could have purchased a silver DB6 when 21, it was at fell bridge garage, east Grinstead for £2,650 so I got a cortina instead as it was modern.
Since then I must have driven around 750,000 miles in my own cars, as above you would have moved on like most stuff.
My now valuable if kept unwanted cars at one point:
Granda mkI 3.0litre ghia
Capri 3.0 litre s with fish nets, one of the last ones
Classic 2 door range rover, again one of the last with very rare electric windows and overdrive
I've learnt my lesson now and run an old car everyday with a hopefully climbing in value nice one for weddings and funerals 19 year old DB7....
Maybe one day it will make stupid money
Escorts make silly money...... Cannot really understand it myself but the market sets the price.

Between 7 & 8k would be my guess if its nice.
A mate has 2 Mk1's and an original Mk2 RS2000 Custom with the original fishnet Recarro interior, He also collects spares for them and as he says
it better that money in the bank

An auto is worth more for the rally boys due to the tunnel. As to actual value I have no idea!

Yikes! Those care amazing Valuations.
Simple curiosity: Why are some willing to pay large for such an excreable/rubbish pile.
Good condition or not..Oddity value? or yet more of the Museum Britain mindset?

its only worth what someone will pay...................
looks like your best offer is by Mr Slingshot??? You could advertise it for £20k and be waiting years, or someone could kick your door in with the
money within hours.
There's garages and sheds up and down the country rammed with auto exotica with "what's it worth" tags attached to them. I
know for a Mk1, fully rebuilt years ago, just languishing in the corner of a dusty barn. the owner thinks its worth £10's of thousands, it might
be? sadly only his widow/kids will find out cos he aint selling !!!!!
your escort, your gamble, your choice.......hope it goes to a good home and gets used

A prime example of only worth what someone will pay;
http://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C422336
While it looks to be in exceptional condition, and ridiculously low mileage, I don't think it's nearly 10k's worth of car.

Ditto! Those things are getting more and more popular and going for BIG bucks! Good luck with the sale, and don't let anyone flannel you with
rubbish to get it cheap
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......

You have to have been there, and had one It's definitely an 'era' thing

I wouldn't go with that description of them but I had a few Mk1 and Mk2 Escorts and I don't see the fascination in them.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.
