January 1999 Ford escort 75 Model, only had light use since i purchased it, still has Mot,non turbo 1753cc, mileage unknown due to engine being replaced when service was done in April this year, Cambelt etc
was changed when mileage read 05000
mileage at present reads 08901
still being used at present, needs a couple of bits sorting, alternator belt either needs replacing or the bracket needs adjusting, belt will squeal for 25 seconds on start up then nothing all day long, gives a puff of smoke on starting and again, runs all day long with nothing else! has a small hole near the fuel filler cap, and the blower only works on no.3 It is quite possible the gearbox will need to be renewed/replaced at some time,there is a small hole in the rear chassis rail but a simple plate will sort this,
i have been driving this every day, and I have no problem in driving it from home to absolutely anywhere in the country, body is pretty tidy for the year, few scratches and the odd noise/creak but this is not a new van, but get in it, turn the key and drive it.
Good points,
has had a replacement padded mat fitted due to the original one having heel holes in it, this mat that is fitted is in great condition with no wear/holes, screen is clear from any cracks/chips, new wiper blades, new cambelt, water pump, fuel/oil filter/oil in April this year, engine pulls very well and is pretty quick for one of these,
the battery tray is in very good condition, the rear shock mounts where they usually rot have been repaired and they are solid! the rear lower valence is solid, and I have used about 6 cans of waxoyl in every section of the underside and inside the chassis rails throughout. never let me down, all electrics work, battery is good and the exhaust is a genuine Ford one, this will do someone a good turn whether as a runaround or for work. I have spent too much money on this as it is, and so no offers, the servicing alone cost over £300 Roof rack not included.
so grab a bargain!
Logbook is in my name.
