BARN FIND;
Mk1 Ford Escort 1100 L model 2-door.
3 owners only on the logbook. Very low miles, at around 60,000 believed genuine, and a real time-capsule of an example.
The shell has had very little welding in its life, and must be one of the most genuine and honest examples out there. Some sections of floor, front panel etc replaced.
Previous owner started to bare metal it. There is no filler anywhere at all. No dents or botches to the shell.
The brightwork looks to be pretty good as well.
Fitted with a pair of genuine Mexico front wings, I do have the originals here- loose if the buyer wants them too.
Interior is all original, rear seat doesn't look to have ever had a passenger. The front drivers seat has a rip/ tear to it.
Engine was fitted a year or so back back. Running sweet, before it was removed for body work/ prep to begin.
Its a 1300 engine, and looks like a GT engine.
The car still retains its original 12" steel wheels and hub caps, with its original spare too.
I believe all the parts are here and are included, but not certain (if there is anything missing it will only be minor bits).
Car is partially stripped, i.e. the interior and engine are loose in the car, bumpers have been removed etc.
Very nice and rare metallic blue/silver colour too on one of these.
Basically the escort needs some prep work, then a coat of paint and putting back together again.
Ideal shell for a concourse restoration due to it being such a genuine and honest example. Please don't confuse this with the likes of the cheap Escorts you see on eBay, they have all been brought back from South Africa, or used and abused over here, and had tons of welding, plates filler and miss-matched panels etc!
Keys, history portfolio, and V5 logbook present.
Delivery can be arranged nation-wide, if required.
Thanks, Matt
