This could be a bargain if it's not completely fucked.  It probably is though.

love that! its not had a single keeper change or later V5c issued since it was computerised in the Mid 1970's to late 1970's (1974-1978) and its complete with some lovely raised digit period plates :) 

and I could probably recuperate the costs by selling the dust off it as special vintage fertiliser to hipsters at the Columbia flower market...

Some one please buy that before I do! Surely one of the last Escorts? Would make a good pair alongside my S reg Focus - one of the last with one of the first.

Not even close, went on until x and a few late reg madness y reg, the latter of course being VERY late but there were a few. 

Loads of X reg ones in Ford Swansea Plant where I worked, they were practically giving them away to us back then with some stupid old fashioned plaque on them that said ford motor company or the like in a model t style writing. 

They generally had everything on them as well, electric seats, aircon, sunroof, those odd triangular alloys, front fogs and so on. 

My mate bought an estate one, pretty good car apart from he had a flat one day in the freezing cold and the entire spare wheel well including wheel was frozen solid.

Indeed. The last Escorts were almost TOO decadent. At that final 2-year point the bASe Escort was the 1.6  or 1.8 TD Flight hatch or estate which was pretty much former LX spec with 15 inch steels. The other version, the Finesse, came with absolutely everything, and the VERY last ones had 7-spoke alloys that looked like Capri Brooklands alloys from about 50 feet. They looked particularly nice in Pepper Red or Amparo Blue.
