Saw this on your thread, that is one lovely looking car, I've had Gsi200's in the past so is something I like, prefer vauxhall to fords. Are you sure? would be a step down for you. V6, AP brakes and fresh wheels and boots. Could I have a think if that's not to cheeky to say, Ulez, cashflow and parking. A nice roof box would set it off nicely. I'm opposite haha. More ford than vauxhall for me. Don't get me wrong, the vectra is amazing and I'm very happy with it, but the sunshine is making me want another cabby that we can go out in as a family, miss my MINI cabby I got rid of. Think the escort would be spot on slightly lowered and a set of esc cos rims under it The car looks great with the AP brakes but have decided to hold out for something else or a sale. Thanks either way

Haha....it's a solid escort which I'm sure will be a 5k car in a few years some are going for 3/4k but not sure it's worth it TBH.

Bumpage for a cheap escort compared to a cosworth at 140k.

Either way you got some great shots and I'm sure owners would be grateful for the shots.

Amazing work.
Was hoping you had a front image of me and my son in a blue escort convertible, would have loved to buy that.
Thank you some great shots.

Thanks for the kind words, like wise saw you Merc c class right at the front of the paddock. I wish I could get mine as clean as yours.
I didn't know where to price this so hopefully it's not to cheeky. Someone is asking 4k for one with more mile. Had some interest so will see what happens.
Need to sort out the passenger door handle as paint has worn a tad, I have paint which I'm sure you noticed.

Ta bud, Azev would look decent. It's nice to find a original car no doggy wiring, aftermarket parts and bodge repairs. Mk5 I know, the Mk6 I'm not sure about

Looks lovely that.
Seats came out fantastic, great choice to keep the original pattern.
Do you still have the old seats and are they for sale?

Inside has very little wear. The owner has a bunch of cars, that's his DB9 parked next to the car. The car was his elderly dad's, it was bought over for nostalgia from his late father's estate. My issue is it being 86 so not ULEZ plus parts for a LHD car and a parts bin as it's made in Turkey. I'm not convinced it's worth it. Here it is in 2014 in happier days

I've been offered this Ford for 1k which the owner is not willing to work on the price. It's LHD 30km on clocks and papers, build date is 1986 as it's a OTOSAN Ford. What's making me worried is not rust as it's been in Turkey until 2010, although the body chassis and panels are rot free the front valance has paint peeling but solid. Car has not moved since 2014 or so. Would need recommissioning. Your thoughts?
