Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Hi this is my mk1 escort 1.1 1968 in blue, sorry about bad pictures I discovered this gem in my friends late grand mothers garage,not many people knew she had it,she was the only owner,it and was a big surprise when pulling back the dust sheet to find it! All the paperwork for the car makes an interesting read,original purchase receipt,vehicle reg document and every receipt from mot to service which was in boot of car too..I also found pictures of it straight from the showroom! It's RHD and totally original from boot to bonnet..hope u like cheers bry 1
Admin Vista Posted January 10, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 10, 2015 Nice find, I bet you got it for a song too! Get some decent pics up when you get it outside
mk2 mike Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Stunning. Everyone's dream to find a car like that
John escort mk1V6 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Nice , i say keep it original. 1
Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 Just put new battery on her and started first time also found the old number plates too get some better pictures up later.. To say I'm happy is understatement lol cheers guys 1
classicwhitey Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 dont touch it, dont even clean it, bring it to classic ford on a trailer and show it as you found her,woukld be a great story. 1
Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 Hi guys took some better pictures today ,started her and drove back a few yards to let handbrake off! Hope you like and I want to bring her to shows for sure . Under mat in boot..solid 1
Admin Vista Posted January 10, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 10, 2015 You're a very lucky man! I don't recall the last time a mk1 2 door that clean and unrestored turned up! 1
Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 You're a very lucky man! I don't recall the last time a mk1 2 door that clean and unrestored turned up! Really???! What could It be worth? Not for sale but it's always nice to know
dalmarshall Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 It's probably hard to put a value on it especially without seeing it but I'd say no less than 8k for a good solid 2 door like that....maybe more
Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 Well I'm happy with that would you drive to shows or loader?
dalmarshall Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 My opinion........its a car and cars is meant to be driven :thumb: 1
irishtorag Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 lovely car and drive her lad.enjoy the xperience of a mk1
Bry with a y Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Posted January 10, 2015 My opinion........its a car and cars is meant to be driven :thumb: Exactly it may take longer as my daily drive is an rb320 impreza lol..but classic looks says enough
Ray Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 what an excellent find trailer, not worth the risk of it getting damaged, or even worse stolen 1
Admin Vista Posted January 10, 2015 Admin Report Posted January 10, 2015 Drive it, it's a car not a museum piece 1
mk2 mike Posted January 10, 2015 Report Posted January 10, 2015 Superb. Please don't modify it. That's a stunning original period example. Leave it just as it stands. 1
Bry with a y Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 Most definatly gonna keep it total standard and just maintain it
Bry with a y Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 I will post up the old photo I found with car in paperwork.. I'm sure you will all notice the other old skool motors in background
Bry with a y Posted January 11, 2015 Author Report Posted January 11, 2015 These was taken in early 90's
