In The Pit Posted December 14, 2009 Report Posted December 14, 2009 Do you know you've got rather a special car there? Thats one of the first batch of 1600 L & GL cars that were all in an exclusive shade of blue and came with extras including heads rests, twin mirrors (drivers being remote controlled), rear seat belts as standard (rare) & tinted glass also it's supposed to have the twin venturi carb with auto choke, 4 branch manifold and close ratio gearbox. They were prouduced in a limited number from October 1979 as a Special Edition to launch the 1600 L & GL's (previously unavailable). It looks lush mate theres not many of those cars left so take good care of it. Oh and you may have problems getting paint for the car as that colour was only used on that batch of Escorts (I think it may be called Neptune Blue check the colour plate on the slam panel) Congratulations on owning such a rare model MKII.
Tall paul Posted December 16, 2009 Report Posted December 16, 2009 Very nice, i looked at a blue one like that before i bought mine. Looks nice and tidy, good luck with it
RossMK2 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Posted December 17, 2009 So want one of those you never know mate you might get one soon
