For the car, flights, welding, paintwork, transporting it to Czech and
driving it home around the end of August, then taking it back to Germany
putting it through a TUV test and getting export plates etc, probably
close to £3.5k.

<waits for HFM>

I'm doing it out of interest as much as anything. I imagine it'll be
worth more than that even though it's LHD.

Well the market says that's nothing at all for a MKII Escort these days.
Not for a clean one anyway.

Not at all and quite the opposite. £3.5k for a fully restored MK2 1300
Sport is a feckin good deal and it'll be worth far more than that.
