Not many, because pre digital and all that - here's when I bought it from an ad in the Sporting Escorts owners club magazine

The whole reason I bought this one was because my parents had an identical T-reg (local FN registered) from 1980-until the mid 90's

As mentioned before, when dad sold it, I kept the Serck plates, which to this day are in the shed

So the paints knackered, and its a bit accessorised. So very 1990. But then again its unwelded and original- not very 1990 at all.
 

However- 
this one can stay

And this one ive added….

Once off loaded….

1990 just arrived with someones first set of wheels…..

Growing up there was one of these down my street. a 1.3 GL 4 door. Aged 10 you could keep your ferraris etc, what i really wanted was one of these. I absolutely loved them.
Back then they were cheap first cars (around 1990) couple of hundred quid and scrap it when the mot was up. That is assuming it hadnt dissolved already, or been crashed.
Then a strange thing happened. They vanished overnight and then slowly they started getting expensive. By the time i started driving they were not mega expensive, but just hard to find.
My route to a mk2 escort was avoid 2 door (££££££) avoid uk RHD (££££££ plus most heavily welded or rotten)
So here we have a solid LHD import 1.3GL which is being delivered next week…

 



 

 

 

 

Yup, earliest production month is October 1992 AFAIK. Obviously other were built for test purposes before that date.

They’re using the best* engine, as a freebie too (can’t be for much longer) but it is a hassle as most efforts get rejected due to the overzealous anti-pr0n and celebrity protection screening.

That orange one looks to me like a Metro, Corsa B and K11 Micra all merged into one!

Honestly, look at the headlights and poorly fitted indicators, not up to royal standards, no way Jose.

His mate, Wing Commander 'Pocket' Billiards, approves.

Princess Anne had one you know...


The door fell off this one, ooops.

I’ve ended up down a rabbit hole with this again. 

What do you do if your tyres don't fit?

They’d only fit a Rio.

"No, they're only really suitable for..."
