Surely seriously over priced?

What are you buying? A donor car? A Reg number & sprint engine?

Indeed a bit pricey, but what would you pay for an Escort with competition history

1980 TR7 DHC (a.k.a. Kermette, my first car bought in 1988 )

Certainly double what this 7 is going for, even without a donor shell. Does seem like a lot of money, and in my eyes, re-shelling a competition car is no longer the same car.

A shame to let a car with period history deteriorate to such a state though. Still, I hope someone saves it. But at £12,500 it won't be me!
