No. It's an Escort van.
Is your decimal key not working? Should that not be £15.00 and £25.00?
No, it's an E-reg Escort van

You'd think if he was putting all that money in he'd have changed the orange indicators and side repeaters...

Thanks fo rthe constructive critisism and spelling corrections. Yes it is a genuine power output, The entire engine was re-worked. My TVR was on the same Dyno a few weeks after so its reading roughly correct.
Im not profiting from advertising it, just that I know a lot of people here like to tweak their cars .. this one is already tweaked, genuine, straight, rust free and if I didnt already have 4 cars, 2 bikes, a 4x4 and a boat, I would have bid for it myself.
The guy is also selling a Nissan Skyline R34 (Fully Nismo'ed up) too
Maybe so, but how long's it going to last? Note that it's only got 10k on that engine in it's current form - not quite enough for it to go wrong yet.

Let me add my bit, as the others have already done theirs.
eBay is a good place to sell it, as there are seemingly some people there who think this is something really good.
It's still an Mk4 Escort van with a crappy CVH turbo lump stuck in it.
And £2500 for a souped up 15 year old Escort van? Megga cheap??
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!

150bhp *Off* boost from an engine with nothing other than a few superficial modifications listed ?
iirc the Escort RS was mechanical injection, surely that means the only thing a chip could do is alter the boost level, and power cams will only serve to make things even worse, moving the power further up the rev range.
Hehe, I like it :)
What has he had done to get the power that high tho ?
I hate to say it, but that actually looks pretty good !
That's not what it says tho.
It's not 20bhp up from standard tho, 130bhp is the peak figure for an RS
*on* boost, so off boost it would have been doing something like 90bhp as per a normal 1.6 CVH with low compression.With a cam and a bleed valve ?
Nah...
...in a "stealth fast van" kind of way, although it's overpriced.
