OK so a few years ago now but finally found some good photo's my grandad took. It was only about 3 months done in these pics I learnt to drive in the car and went to show with my mum in the passenger seat (Yeah that was cool!)

 

Any way enjoy.....

I sold it I bought a capri to put the engine and gearbox under the escort but ended up staying with the capri.

 

I think the escort is now silver and located in south London.
