Funny one this...

After about 25 years my mum is finally selling her escort. It's been looked after and maintained regardless of cost over the entire period of her ownership. I don't have all the details to hand, but just put it on to gauge interest. Points to note:-

-Dark metallic green (i think it's ford forest green)
-It's had a lot of metalwork and paint done over the last 5 years (don't have all the details to hand)
-had a new clutch and gearbox about 2000 miles ago
-very tidy mk4 escort interior
-unmarked and uncracked dash (i can't tell you how many scrappies me and my dad went to looking for one of these!!)

I know it's got over 6 months MOT and i think it's got tax (will check the details and will update the thread)

It's in lovely condition, starts and runs very well. An odd car to sell as it's so nice (and has had fortunes spent on it!) but hasn't yet reached proper 'classic' status.

I think my paretns are asking for offers around £650.

Car is located in Tadley.

Will update thread with pics and more info as soon as i get it. PM me any questions.
