The front bumper's much the same, so I'd say it was down to KWOLITY Italian engineeringI presume that one's been rear-ended at some point, or did they just use 'it fits where it touches' as the tolerance for build quality?

That is utterly brilliant, now a diesel like that I would have - slow, clattery and basic! Looks lovely in white too.http://i6.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/0e/96/304...

I had no idea you could get a Ford denzel in Ghia spec during the 1980s, that Escort must be very rare. Although with age and wear a 1600 CVH petrol could be made to sound very diesel indeed.That is utterly brilliant, now a diesel like that I would have - slow, clattery and basic!

Yep, the fit and finish on mine was just as dire.http://www.406central.com/custom/imageho...

thats the spittin image of mine.anyone want it before I scrap it?While we're nit-picking, the listing says 1597cc. The Ford 1.6D is 1608cc. Mister Bollocks wins his bet.
How about this, I wonder if it's the 3-speeder or whether it's lucky enough to be fitted with the CVT box.

Yeah. That's the mistake I made when I bought mine. I reckon it looks more like an Uno, but the small-Fiat-on-steroids look gave me a completely false impression of the size of the thing. In the flesh it makes a Range Rover look like a Daihatsu Terios - these things are fugging huge.looks like a fiat panda on steroidsShitter of the week award has to go to this thing - the "La Forza".

have done, but I think its bent a valve........and nobody around here ahs any spare heads............so we bought a Micra to replace itMeasure the valve clearances before you scrap it. If the valve clearances are OK the chances are the engine will be fine with a new belt. My Escort TD slipped its belt and got away with it, if anything it went better afterwards.
