Reading the 'questions from other sellers' bit, I think he's just trying to be ironic, although it's a bit lost on some people & I can understand that frankly...

This car is a real show stopper and head turner so if you are the lucky person to win the auction you will not be dissopointed at the attention you get in it.

maybe not but I'm 'dissopointed' in your spelling :roll:

That brings back memorys, I had a Nova 1.2 SX many years ago, It was one of the last run out models, That black one must of been one of the very last being on a L plate.

 

Didn't like mine much though, even after all the work i put in respraying it.

Crap handling and everytime you turned the steering wheel you could feel the uj against your clutch leg.

 

Here's mine era 2000 time.

Offset position of the steering wheel on RHD models is my biggest gripe.

 

They certainly can roll a bit - lower spec models got the same rear beam as the sportier ones, but without the brace that runs through it. Adding it and the accompanying thicker front anti roll bar improves matters no end. As does replacing knackered bushes. And very slight lowering. I’ll get my coat :oops:

I had a 1.0 Swing as my first car. Of course being a first car it is the fastest and best handling car of evAr, although when I attempted a handbrake turn on a tight bend I crashed straight into the embankment :lol:

 

It also had a tailgate with a loose catch, hence it would open itself at random intervals. Lasted 6 weeks before I drove into the back of a 4x4 driven by a rather large and angry gentlemen. Most annoying thing is that I took a load of photos (this being before I could afford a digital one) then my Mum double exposed them so I have only one ghostly picture of it :evil:

Ah memories. I had a 1988 pov-spec 1.0 as my first car. Wrote it off 2 weeks after passing my test...

Yes the offset steering wheel is really awkward. This had nothing to do with me crashing though!

Hi recently my grandfather passed away and left his old Escort 1300 popular to me. He bought it new and it is in excellent condition having only 18500 miles on the clock, and has garaged for about 10 years

Wow, Wish my grandad left something like that, It's lovely, You know that it will be stripped for a rally car though.

 

Should be a law against it, Mint 2 door Escort getting chopped.
