Long range fuel tank

9 inch rear brakes

Sounds interesting for the right price. Yellow is my fav colour followed by white on MK1 and MK2 Escorts

Quick update on the MOT, passed first time with no problems last month Have done about 400 miles so far and has not missed a beat, happy days except for no end of people asking me if I want to get rid of it, usually when filling up. A chap stopped me the other day in his Lexus by flashing his lights and sounding his horn, thought my brake lights were u/s, wound down my window, and you guessed it, 'Is it for sale mate'. Nice chap though and if I'm honest, like the attention

Cant afford to fill the long range fuel tank up yet!
