Are you a little confused?! You'll have a much better response on a ford forum not a golf forum :rolleyes:

I would stick it on Ebay with a reserve of about £300 and go from there. Make sure you are VERY clear about every little problem it has. You might get a fair few bidders for one that age as it doesn't look too bad - could be an easy project for a Ford enthusiast.

My Dad used to hire all manner of new Fords in the 80's - he occasionally had these - not bad little motors. Dull as Sh!t unless you got an RS Turbo though!  :laugh:
