draper Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 the time has come to sell my escort, im turning 25 next month so can insure something a little faster. ive had this 7weeks and covered 2300 miles without a single problem, the car was previusly owned by the same family and has always been looked after. the car drives amazingly well to say its 13/14 years old. very very economic, i can get 450miles to a full tank even with alot of town driving, nice and cheap insurance aswell with it being a 1300. the interior is spotless, it does currently have half leather GTi seats but these arent in the best condition (very comfy tho like an old leather settee is) but i do still have the original seats. taxed untill end of april and MOTd until july - i would love to keep it but i have 3 cars at the minute and have my eye on something else few scratches on the bumpers and the laquer has peeled on the bootlid slightly, small patch of surface rust on the drivers door and small scabs on the rear arches but the car is solid underneath and good for many many years/miles of cheap motoring only pic i have at the minute, however once ive washed it later todat/tomorrow ill get plenty more http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr187/draper1984/escort.jpg 425 onomay also be interested in a swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawdreamer Posted July 1, 2009 Share Posted July 1, 2009 no PAS but it means when parking you dont need a gym membership A(feckin)men to that one. whats the engine?.... the only 1.3 relatively new'ish version escorts I know of with that size engine are crossflows, and afaik they were fazed out with the last of the mk5b's in preference for the 1.4's. might be interested in it as a runabout so I aint pushed on my project motor. handful of questions tho.... hows the engine run? any previous mods barring the interior change? any history on repairs? (noted the welded plates on the sills) milage? (dont recall wether your first post mentioned that, disregard if ya did) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(noted the welded plates on the sills) the welded plates were done 3/4 years ago and are very well done, ill have another look at the weekend but from memory there isnt any more repairs carried out milage? (dont recall wether your first post mentioned that, disregard if ya did) mileage is around 96k atm, 4k put on myself since feb, again ill double check at the weekend and probably get a vid of it running also found this on my camera http://i482.photobucket.com/albums/rr187/draper1984/Escort/Picture001.jpg will be given a good clean before being let go aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
