So I booked the weekender as usual but all my pals have booked classic ford , for me personally RR is a far better event due to the diversity So I’m camping from Friday night without either of my kids or any mates I know I’ll no doubt catch up with John the sparky and others but if anyone wants to say hello wander over and say hello to Billy no mates with the silver mk5 escort !!

Escort mk5B 1992 L plate 1.6 ghia 16v Tidy car with polished cosworth wheels and new tyres New exhaust, discs/pads front legs and 40mm lowered springs The body is very tidy but does have primered front wing and lower rear quarter Basically she is solid but has had a welding done new near side sill and inner repaired and a rear chassis leg has been replaced The interior is very good but the rear headliner has been pinned up She’s not the best escort out there but is a honest old car, drives well has full service history and has only done 63,000 miles since new Needs viewing really I’m very fussy so my opinion is a very honest one With the new wheels I want £1500 no less Otherwise I’m negotiable with original ghia alloys fitted These have older tyres Car is based in north kent I will be at the RR weekender so it can be viewed there This car is a cheap way into the scene I value my reputation as many on here who know me will agree I’ve sold many cars here so my description is genuine Overall a tidy car needing more fettling Swaps??? Maybe I like W202 mercs👍 but cash is preferred Mot is until sept this year

The escort is all but done now I need to concentrate on the fiesta van So I will probably put the escort up for sale , cheap car for someone looking to get into the ford scene I will put the original wheels on it Long mot and welding required has been done £1200 will buy it Will be driving it to the weekender before I advertise it elsewhere So if anybody here is interested come have a chat

So coming home from work on Thursday this week my W211 broke down, rac called , crankshaft sensor has gone down , car transported home by a very unhelpful individual,but that’s another story , the rac received a curse word email this morning So the escort had been fired up and back into action for a few days, I suppose it’ll iron out any faults before the RR weekender

A bit of a change over the last few weeks I’ve now got my old W211 E240 Back after my father in law gave up driving Six years since he bought it from me and it’s still mint That in turn meant the S type had to go unfortunately But I made my neighbours day after I gave it to him I hate selling cars now so as the Mercedes came free I decided to give the jag to my neighbour as he absolutely loved the car The fiesta van I have decided will be going back into full bt spec, grey and its original bt logos Yesterday we spent a few hours stripping off the poor red paint It’s just falling off with a jet wash! Then it will get a good prep and hopefully go off to a pal for the repaint I managed to buy some nos 14” steels last week so i had four new tyres fitted yesterday and fitted mk2 fiesta centre caps on Not strictly original but I think they suit it fine

This quite simply the most iconic car ever to me, it was built in my area where I grew up and I saw it in pieces some years ago, it’s just superb to see it back to even better than it was originally…..legend
