Pity there are no windscreen wipers

Like you'd ever take it out in the rain anyway Andy?

Are you getting confused with Jenson Button?

No, that is the name of the company selling the car. A deliberate example of wordplay, I would imagine, as the sole director of the company is called Burton.

With immaculate timing, the listing has now gone for a Burton!

Interesting to see what it sells for.

I could have bought one of them in the 80s but got a 1.3 instead because it was pounds cheaper to insure

I like this, I remember trying to get my dad to change our Vauxhall Viva for one back in the day, but isn't it Big money for a limited edition, I may be wrong but I thought the Harrier wasn't a performance model, just decals & fancier trim ?

Then again, Escort prices are bonkers …. be interesting to see if it sells & what for

Not sure of the spec etc, but yes it's pretty much a Mk2 1.6 with some extras. Rarity I suppose.
Nice car but would prefer a Capri for that money, even if Capris are overpriced too.

None of the Fords from that era were great but now command a premium. Not sure if that's good or bad

Love these, each to their own but really wanted one when new & still do. But 20K plus? Plenty of other modern performance cars I'd rather own for that kind of money. Still like them though.

I don't dislike them Rob and wouldn't say no if I had the funds. You can get a Mk2 Focus RS for the current bid of £21300

As you say many other newer cars too, but I do like the simplicity of the older

I was going to say the same thing - you can get a mk3 Focus RS for not much more and I'd rather have one of those personally

Current bid £22400!

Not everyone is short of money this time of year Or it depends on the car how quickly they sell.

I have owned two Escort Harriers over the years. I had a silver one in the late eighties which was absolutely immaculate and I think I paid £1750 for it .

Really was a smashing car to drive and it was the 88 BHP 1600GT/Sport spec engine in it with a RS2000 style interior. It really went, handled well and didn't feel much slower than an RS to be honest.

Also had a white one in the early nineties bought for about £400 or £500 (can't remember). Was nowhere as good as the silver one and the rear floors and spring hangers were rotten. I didn't have time to repair it and it would have cost too much to get someone to do it so I just moved it on to an Escort nut I knew for a small profit.

Harrier has been relisted https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/312913019102 ... 2913019102
