Deano dont be put off for Gumtree ............. it's PERFECT for honest people like all of us here on this forum.
My name has been on EBAY and GUMTREE for well over 20 years. Ebay TERMINATES you in a heart-beat if you pull any scams. Ebay site is VERY secure. They also refund your losses if they "miss" a scam.
Gumtree is also on to them, but scammers start up in another name with another PC and get away with it UNTIL enough of us report them. Honest sellers have nothing to lose on Gumtree as you get the MONEY first, and then you send the goods

Yes Marty, bit high for a 4 cyl plus other observations. From pics, IT DOES look very nice tho! Tell me if my observations are correct or not about this car.............. for that sort of money it should at least be , or attempt to be, ORIGINAL. and be a V6 ..... 1/ GT steering wheel is missing .... 2/ Oil pressure appears too low for 2000rpm .... 3/ wrong window Cranks ... 4/ Wrong Ford Badges at thresholds near scuff plates. ... 5/ Misalignment of Bonnet to RH front guard at eyebrow ... 6/ Covid mask seems to be hiding missing Clock ? ... 7/ Crash pad was never "knitted"; poor repro and .... 8/ LH Mirror too far forward to be of any use................ ??????

You uncovered a whole bunch of stuff with it, and yes a lot isn't original, what's with the front cut bumper about.. Window crank handles look broken, no knob either The car yard isn't far from my work, I might suss it out one day since it ain't going to move quick at that price !!

I spotted those incorrect front bumperettes and forgot to include them in my "list"
I'm also wondering if the Speedo and Tacho came from a V6 ???

It looks to be 120mph speedo so is correct for the car,. Tacho I'm not sure about but if revving at 2k on idle I reckon it's 4cyl with the springs worn out

Speedo and tacho correct for 4 cyl. I know this as my first V6 came with these wrong instruments. V6 has 70mph as 12 o'çlock, and tacho marked >x100 V6< , not just >x100<. Luckily I didn't get booked doing an indicated 60mph/100kmh which was actually 70mph /110kmh - thought it felt fast!
Also missing plastic covers for rear light(s) in boot, plastic plug cover on window frame bolt in side of door, door buttons should be chrome not black afaik, door vinyl trims look stitched with no chrome plastiweld, bonnet pins wrong ? (never seen any in this position)... etc etc.
Buyer beware .... I think is the appropriate message here.

Typical consignment dealer. I had one notice my Tickford TE50 whilst I was browsing the yard. Reckoned he'd be able to sell it for what seemed like a ridiculous figure. Things changed when I asked what I'd actually get back after the sale

On the plus side a lot of what's not correct is easy fixed.
But on the other hand it has some things that are correct and rare. The bullet mirrors are correct and super rare. The radio looks to be in good cond and again super rare. Rear view mirror rare and correct. Antenna correctly placed on left guard instead of the all too common incorrect roof mount. Correct gear knob, also rare. Front slam panel correct indicating not front end damaged, gauges correct (tacho might just be out of adjustment). Front and rear ash trays still intact. Sill trims look to be in good cond. Has all the correct external trims.
Not worth the asking price but has a lot of good things about it.
