CzecheredFlag Posted August 18, 2009 Report Posted August 18, 2009 Hi peeps, i'm a new member here, having just bought a Mk2 Escort Estate. I've only just got into the Ford scene, as i bought a 1984 Escort Estate as a daily driver, then got the chance of my Mk2 at a bargain price. Will post some pics of my Escort soon.
CzecheredFlag Posted August 19, 2009 Author Report Posted August 19, 2009 Thanks for the welcome chaps, as soon as i'm able to post some pics of my Mk2 i will do.
CzecheredFlag Posted August 20, 2009 Author Report Posted August 20, 2009 Thanks again guys. A little history on my car until i can start a proper thread with pics in the relevant section. The car is a 1980 Ford Escort Mk2 1.3 Estate. It started its life in Germany as an RAF car, hence the steering wheel being on the wrong side. It spent 6 years in Germany, and covered approx 7000kms. In 1986 it was imported into the UK as 1 of 6, to Marshalls Garage, Bawtry, Doncaster, where it was UK registered, (and still has their numberplates and tax disc holder). It was then bought by the previous owner, who owned it up until Monday, when i bought it. I have all the old MoT certificates issued during its time in the UK, and up to know the car has covered 99240kms, and over the last few years it has averaged around 2000kms between MoTs. Bodywise it is in very good condition, with just the front wings being the major let down. The black paintwork is in good condition with a good shine to it. As soon as i have my 10 posts i will get some pics up in a proper thread. Plans for the car.........i haven't decided yet, but i don't want to use it every day, i have a Mk3 for that.
