May I ask further info/price on the Mk1 Escort (Though heinous OSF YKT sticker twunterty suggests an inevitably ridiculous price, cash only m8, YKT violent stella fuelled thug etc)

Here...:FOR SALEvery reluctantly i am selling my 1974 Olympic blue 4 door mk1 escort , she is in exceptional condition throughout and drives as well as it looks !! no rust or rot anywhere apart from 2 very minor blemishes and the under side of the car has been entirely painted in black. complete with all original trims and completely original looking apart from spotlights and having been lowered 2" all round with lowering spring on the front and 2" decambered single leafs on the rear , shock absorbers are spax adjustables all round and car has been completely poly bushed.1.3 engine runs very well and even gives 2.0ls a run for there money it has been treated to a rejeted 2.0l carb with an edlebrock air box and k&n filter and short reach manifold , full 2" peter lloyd exhaust system with a wrapped 4 branch manifold the original motorcraft distributor has been replaced with an h&h ignitions unit along with an electric fan. water pump and alternator are both brand new also . No expense has been spared .also fitted are a set of 7" cibies which have been sprayed to match and a fullset of goodyears which are barely worn . The original radio has been converted to am/fm and has an aux in to plug in an mp3 player just to keep that original look .all together a really stunning car !if you are interested please contact me to arrange a view.I am situated in the Leicester area and am looking for £4500 ovno the car stands me at an awful lot more so i think this is a fair price.

That Sapporo looks like the one I went to look at back in January in Telford.....

[michiel]

Whoa! Is that Mr_Borrox's secret lair?

[CreepingJesus]

Surely "There are three Maseratis in a yard..." is the start of a statistical analysis question in an exam paper?

I'd rather have the LT28 tho'. Autoshite holidays par excellence.

Thanks for putting these up, the unit looks similar to my mates one. Whats the story with these cars? Are they being done up and sold or broken?
