Just stumbled across this on eBay.

Dunno if it's worth anywhere near that, but thought the ford lot might like it. Pretty shit advert for a £65k car, but meh.

Looks interesting.

Just done a DVLA tax enquiry on it, and it comes back as a Ford, with a 1558cc petrol engine, that doesn't appear to have been taxed or SORN'd since 01/08/1989

They're also only 3.9 miles from me, so I may have to pop over there for a little look around when I get a chance...

the escort is 41 years old somehow i dont think the quality of paintwork or the technology was nowhere near todys standars so a slight coour differnece if acceptable from 1960's technology lol

but... i love a mk1 escort as much as the next person, but 65k i fucking ridiculous!
