I developed a Ford Escort Mk1 model chart poster many months ago and it's offered to UK, European and Aussies on eBay, but have only had one sale, which has been quite disappointing with all the effort I put into it.
So I was wondering if some of the Escort enthusiasts can take a quick look at it and let me know if you can see what might be putting people off? Is there something significantly wrong with it? I thought the selection of models on it was a good spread: Escort Deluxe 1100 Escort Super 1300 4-door Escort 1300E 4-door Escort panel van Escort wagon/estate Escort 1300 GT Escort Sport Escort Twin Cam Escort Mexico Escort XL GS (Australian market) Escort RS1600 Escort RS2000 The poster is below. Thanks in advance! Andrew.

What size is it and how much, the blank hudcaps, were they like that or did they have ford logo's on them? I would loose the forrest flares on the RS2000, also make it the 2 tone blue like the RS1600, make the RS1600 a different colour. I also thought the 1300 GT had wheels like the sport, could easily be wrong

Thank you for your suggestions. I have checked the wheels - they were indeed blank, no Ford logo. The majority of 1300 GTs on a Google Images search come back with those wheels, so it looks like they may have been the standard wheels, also replica scale models have them.
These posters sell for around $17 - $19 and are 19x13" in size, have sold hundreds of other such posters. This one just won't budge!

Hi Andrew. I like the poster, in particular the range of cars. However, for some reason, the wheels on most of them just don't look quite right. Also, I would change the colour of the RS2000. White with the blue stickers is a bit of a classic look for that model. Good luck. Gerard
