Arthur Foxhake Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 I wanted one of those old Escorts quite a lot. In the end, my brother bought one and I was pleased.Pleased I didn't buy one, the seats were like concrete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bramz7 Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Not usually a Ford licker but that looks really decent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobT Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A desirable Mk5 Escort, who'd have thought it. I had one in the same colour with the spoiler but boring black interior, all that beige and velour looks a nice place to be. Mine was badged a GTi FFS!

sierraman Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 A chap I worked with had the same but an Escort saloon, it was a nice motor but he was a complete dick and trashed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pillock Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Is this ghia si model?, thought it would be either a ghia or an si. Ghia Si was a thing for sure Not for long, but right in the middle of Ford's "We don't have a clue what to do with the Escort" period that also gave us a base-model Mexico, an RS2000, a GTi that was in the range for about three hours on a Tuesday afternoon, weekly facelifts, a disappearing Orion, indicators in the bumpers on just one model for no reason, and rust.

taxi paul Posted August 16, 2018 Share Posted August 16, 2018 Very nice. I used to have a f reg Orion 1.3 I think. Swapped it in for a k reg Sierra azure, loved that car. Lack if power steering and dogs led to swappage for a that shape escort estate. Wife bloody hated it and it got swapped for a rover 400. I do like the escorts and one day maybe I may indulge.

Pillock Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 These have five digit odometers so yeah, I guess if you have no common sense when inputting the mileage compared to the previous year.... Someone genuinely thought they were testing thousand miles car in 2009.2010 had a clever tester.2011 did not and they ruined it for years to come.Someone then added the 100k back on later, but it fell off again. egg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bub2006 Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 Ghia si is a great trim, sporty looks with Ghia comfort. A friend had a k plate Orion with the 1.8 130bhp I think engine. His had factory air con, factory cd player in the cubby under the cassette deck and red needles on the dials. It was a lovely red colour with he rs/xr3 front end. Very rare motors now. Well played sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
