FORD ESCORT 1600 SPORT

STUNNING ORIGINAL EXAMPLE IN SILVER

THIS 2 DOOR CAR'S BODYSHELL IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION

IMPORTED FROM A HOT AND DRY CLIMATE

NOT LIKE BRITISH AND EUROPEAN RUST  BUCKETS

The Interior is fair condition, the front seats are a bit tatty and the dash has been felt covered.

Mechanically sound It starts on the button, selects all gears and drives perfectly.

 

GOOD BITS: everything not mentioned below !

As an export this car was built by Ford using an RS spec shell with all the additional strengthening plates as can be seen on the strut tops in the pics...

 

BAD BITS: outer edge of drivers floor pan is a bit rusty but nothing bad

 

Thats it.......

 

 

Underside, boot floor, spare wheel wells and wheel arches etc are all mint !

YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING IN THE EXTRA PICS ON PHOTOBUCKET HERE:

The underside pics show there's nothing but fresh surface rust, thanks to the salty air in the container, nothing that wont just clean off..

 

I really encourage anyone who is seriously interested to pop over and view it some time before the end of the auction, the car is at my house in SW London and I am happy to welcome anyone who is interested in bidding to come view, so just message me to arrange a time to come over and have a good look round.

 

please feel free to ask questions as I want to make sure you are fully informed before you bid.

 

Bidding is to buy not view - view before the auction ends or just bid in confidence.

Bidders with 10 or less feedback - Please message me first just so i know your for real.

 

 

 

Thanks and good luck...... Andy

Pics have been updated here and on photobucket including interior, more to come

Further thorough inspection of the car and I really cant find any signs of any welding in the past, and no other rust than the mentioned bit on the drivers floor pan and this is slight.

 

Interior pics show that both seats are worn, the dash has been covered in felt and the original sport steering wheel padding is cracked - these can be refurbished

Windows, locks, handles, wipers, lights etc all work perfectly

 

Clock shows 48,000 km

take that as you wish.

 

Huge interest in the car - in less than 40 hours its had nearly 2000 views and has 150+ watchers

The reserve has been lowered and the offers are flooding in, get bidding before someone turns up with the cash.... Car is advertised Elsewhere and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thanks again for everyone's interest.

Andy
