Ford Escort Mk 1 pickup - £15½K

[MkX]

Ford Escort Mk 1 pickup. Suffolk. £15½K
1968. Van conversion. 1300 GT engine. Drives. Last MOT 2016, (exempt). Looks a bit battered in places. MOT history worth a check. I don't know if it's worth this type of money but it's certainly very cool!

It’s covering the fuel filler neck. Not unusual practice in pickup beds with high mounted fuel caps.

I would want to take a magnet with me if I were to view that, the pick up bed is quality is it old pallets and a bit of fence paint! Ive burnt better wood than that!

When you've spent many years restoring cars you learn exactly where to look and what for even in photographs - the whole thing is full of filler - the shut lines are way off - the load bed is laughable - they cant even be bothered to set the bumpers level and to CROWN it all even had it been correctly executed it would still sit rather awkwardly & out of proportion with that roof line - has for the fantasy asking price
