Ford Escort made from silver and jewels to be sold for charity

A jeweller with a passion for cars is making a miniature replica of his beloved MK2 Ford Escort.

The platinum, silver and gold car comes complete with bejewelled brake lights and will take craftsman Russell Lord more than 1,000 hours to complete.

Once finished, Mr Lord, of Shenfield, Essex, will sell off the piece for charity.

Have you guys seen this? ?  Bets on how much it may sell for?

I must be a bit younger as the Mk 3 would have interested me more, it having been my first car

I can understand that but the mk 1 is very collectable these days.

This is very true.  Worth a tad more now than an old Mk3!!

Or changing your undies  rotating them through '4 field crop rotation' does not count.

The talent and passion some people have is just amazing. I wonder how much that little car would be worth.
