Conrad D. Conelrad Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 Quote Services offered: Finance Available Finance specialists! I wonder how long it's been since someone took out finance on a J reg Escort? Quote Why buy from us? Finance Available Good or Poor Credit History Considered I'm in! I want the 1994 experience of financing a used Escort. Quote SORRY NO FINANCE AVAILABLE ON THIS VEHICLE DUE TO THE AGE ah shit. Still, that makes a change from what I usually get, which is "sorry no finance available, sir, because you have the credit score of a man who defaulted on the payday loans he took out to invest in cryptocurrency" Quote 1 Owner from new how is that recorded on the V5?

Asimo Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 The hood and the windscreen must go, (do you need wipers with aero-screens?) but otherwise this Lomax appeals. Quite a rarity as it has GSA powertrain and 75% GSA suspension and brakes. Fully sorted, I bet this could embarrass one of those Morgan tricycles on bumpy roads. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1282988465785265 Fun fact: Zafira and GS front brake discs are interchangeable! 11001010, UltraWomble, BeEP and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
