I contemplated buying 1 about 15miles from me eariler in the year.
It went within 12 hours but £10000 for a mk1 mexico no wonder it went that quickly.

A genuine Mexico could be worth £20K if done properly and it won't cost much more to restore that shell than one which looks half decent so why
not? Probably worth a bit more yet

It's nuts - they're fetching crazy money ATM.... I've been looking at them for a while now... There's one on PH which is done
in Eddie Stowbart team colours which is bonkers expensive (clearly due to it's history).
I've got my eye on this : eBay Item - only thing thats troubling me is how I'm going to sneak it past SWIMBO ????

Thats fer nowt! ! !
Ok, some one is going to have to spend a LOT of money to put that back on the road!
However, the fact that the shell has a
"BFAT" number stamped into means it is the real deal, and not just any Old Ford that someone could make to look like a "nice"
Old Ford.
Any way, thanks for the heads up ! I will be having a bid . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Given what pops up at the bottom as simillar I'd say it looks to be going for fair money and sounds like someone might have a good christmas.
