MK1 Escort RS2000 AVO replica like Mexico, Twin Cam, RS1600. 2.0 ZETEC injection

Hello and welcome to my listing for my pride and joy that I'm very reluctant to sell but a new venture for my family and I means that some capital is needed. consequently I'm putting them first.
I hate to have to write "rules" out at the start of an auction but I've been burned on ebay enough times to see the worst in humanity so here goes.
1. Only bid IF YOU HAVE THE MONEY (not just applied for a loan. ) and are prepared to pay the AMOUNT YOU WON IT FOR. not a penny less. 2. Winning the auction means you agree to buy the car for the amount you won the auction for - NOT a VIP pass to come and perform your own tyre-kicking/haggling session on my premises - (you will be leaving without the car if this is your intention). There is ample time during the active listing to view/ask questions. 3. If you do win. then please make contact within 24 hours with an explanation of how/when you intend to pay for/collect the vehicle.

As you can see from the pics and spec. this is a very comprehensive build.  I've owned this car for almost two years and covered 2000 miles since completion in June 2013.
Add up the price of all those parts listed above. then add in the cost of a good 2 door shell. then add in the cost and time of someone putting it all together!!
This car has behaved impeccably since it was finished. it gets admiring glances wherever it goes and sparks conversations all the time - you have to be sociable to take this out in public!
It idles beautifully. uses no oil. behaves in traffic and returns 35MPG in 5th on the motorway (at 65-70MPH).  
At Classic Ford Show 2014. it managed a 14. 0sec @ 95. 5 MPH 1/4 mile time which is very impressive considering it is a full "comfy" (not stripped of interior) that gets driven to/from shows in traffic with no issues.
Please bear in mind I work hard and have a busy job. so I may not be too swift in answering questions. I will endeavour to answer them ASAP.
NO SWAPS. NO DREAMERS PLEASE!!
NO buy it now.
No one drives this car except me. happy to take buyers out (if they are serious).
This car goes NOWHERE until I have the money in my hand.
Happy bidding. br>Jim
