Does look tidy

I can’t get my head around the use of the words ‘Tribute’ and      ‘ recreation’ used to describe cars that aren’t the genuine article, in my day it was simply ‘replica’.

A very nice motor all the same though!

Hahaha I was thinking the same when I read Restomod. That term always swirls my brain around too. Its Restore or its Modified LOL "Tribute" always reminds me of a tribute Band that rips of other famous bands songs lol

It has one uniquely Australian Identifying feature though. It stands out like the dogs round ones to me but maybe it doesn't really raise any eyebrows there.

Aerial on the roof?

One owner UK Escort Mexico MK2 located in PORT ISAAC, under 4K miles, never drive's on the road, with roof aerial, just a thing from the time I guess.

Never mind the areal.

Check out the chrome door handle and window trim.

Must be a very early car.

Nice though.

Sure was, it's a 1976 model, he opened the drivers door & bonnet, don't think it had ever been sat in, no sag in the seat material, the smell of the 70's was hypnotic to be honest, been kept from new in a converted HGV trailer in a garage so never see's daylight, the original exhaust was taken of & stored, and a TI BAINBRIDGE system fitted, the only thing that spoiled it was the exhaust manifold was discolored from heat, but he said he could not bring himself to remove it to clean just in case he regretted it, this was taken in 2017, the reg number was covered up apart from the last letter.
