MOT'd until August 2018

V5 has been amended to reflect change of engine and colour change.

Underside is finished in Olympic blue-6 litres of paint used in total. Its as clean underneath as it is on top!

In summary a totally rust free body with excellent paintwork and all the right mechanical upgrades fitted to make this a very enjoyable car. It started life as a basic 1. 3 Popular plus 2 door escort and has only had 4 previous owners.

I have a memory stick with over 100 images of the painstaking restoration that took place between 2006 -11.

I fully appreciate that its not got the provenance of being an original RS or Mexico but the work carried out and upgrades that have been added to this car -at great expense-certainly puts in a category of Mark 2 'Specials'(in my opinion).
Its also worth adding that to take pride of place on the centre pages of 'Classic Ford' also reaffirms the condition and workmanship that's gone into this car.
