adw1977 Posted May 7, 2019 Author Posted May 7, 2019 140. 1987 Ford Escort convertible (left hand drive) Seen in Epsom, Surrey. Description from when it was offered for sale in 2017: "Probably the best available. As clean underneath as on top. All original brake pipes, never welded. L.H.D. German spec, many years in Spain.Mostly original paint. A couple of very minor rot issues. Hood retaining hoop,have replacement part, tiny bit on one rear wheel arch, have replacement section, r/h door, have replacement door. This car is in an amazing condition, I bought it 14 years ago as a project for my retirement. The idea was to stop deterioration. I have done such a good job on this that the car still does not warrant a full restoration. The car is mechanically sound. Had new clutch and gearbox this year. In my ownership has had anything and everything. Valve seals, starter, alternator, timing belt(3 times), water pump(2 times), heater matrix, yet another battery a few week ago. The car has been maintained to the very highest possible standards. I would quite happily take it on a 2000 mile drive to Spain tomorrow. Car has dual registration English/ Spanish."
