1987 ford escort L 1.4 in bronze (not looking bronze to me)

Its my great aunts car that she has had since new and as you see its in bloody good nick taxed untill feb and still has 2 months mot but there going to put a fresh ticket in for me!. 63000miles and always garaged and serviced regularly best of all its totally original with all the books and rot free mine for £200!!.

[Wilko220]

Does the chauffeur come with it?

[ashmicro]

That's a great colour for a mark 4, and looks clean and tidy. Top bombing, gotta love a neat mark 4.

[vivapower]

I'm envious nevertheless! Nice purchase

[Cavcraft]

Wow, that's lovely and what a bargain. Nice work!

[scooters]

These are gr8 fun.

 

Be careful leavinq cigs/tapes/cans/paper/lighter on top of the passenger side dash when passenger window is fully open. Hard right hand cornering is likely to hurl all out of windon. Lost 60 Camel, a zippo, Full Moon Fever by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, and a VHS rlntal copy of J C van D's Bloodsport into the Dene whilst drivinq some dizzy bint down Jesmond Dene Road in 1991 ..... mind you I did get to Podger her.....mind you...60 Camel!

please dont spoil it with rs xr kits

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

Really feeds my 80s Ford fetish, that. Lovely.

[j-j]

Wow that's tidier than my mum's cupboards.

[The Reverend Bluejeans]

That must be the only D reg Mark IV left - they used to rot like buggery and the D reg Scorts were known for it - even 20 years ago they were flaky. Has it got plastic front arch liners? That was the tell tale for the better, vaguely rust resistant version.

 

Looks nice in the metallic - has an ostentatious GL/Ghia look about it as opposed to the usual miserable red/white/blue.

Dont worry it'll stay standard. you see 3i's & turbos all the time but never an original lower spec car even rarely at a show.

I havent actually seen the car yet but i pick it up on friday so i can really inspect it.

Its an escort L 1.4. optional extra cost extras such as sunroof, rear seatbelts, and metallic paint. and i was lastnight tolt it has an alarm and ABS brakes.

 

Cant wait to get it and go for a spin i have a 108 mile trip home to get used to it.

[retro80sboy]

I knew I would turn you to old Fords eventually Danny!! ha!

 

Jelous as fook mate, absolute bargain. look after it well. (goes without saying that you will).

 

Cant wait to see it.

 

total role reversal in recent weeks with me buying a Vauxhall and you buying a Ford!

[vivapower]

yeah you could say that. since you have really got into the mk4's i have started to like them more and more but really i'd have to be mental to turn this down.

I'll come to yours on friday evening time if you want so you can have a perv over the old girl. obviously not the old girl in the drivers seat

its a deal mate. see you then.

[vivapower]

this morning i was not impressed to find this.

 

luckily i have a top quality alarm/immobiliser so they never got chance to damage anything else.

[outlaw118]

What was the fucking point of that?

Apologies for the use of language, but, really. Cunt is too good a word.

[j-j]

O crumpets. On the plus side at least it was only the little quarter window?

[trigger]

Bastards! they done the Autoshite sticker in.

[vivapower]

yeah they killed my autoshite sticker so i have to try and get another for this side. tried all the local yards to try and get some new glass and they were either shut or had crushed the other mk4 escorts. im trying furburs tomorrow and if that turns out fruitless i can get one over the internet.

[autofive]

perspex for the win

[Conrad D. Conelrad]

My dad had a D reg MK4. In 1989 someone broke into it while parked at Stretford Arndale. They broke the same window, the little one on the rear passenger side door. They also broke the passenger front window and stole the radio, so I'm not sure what the point of breaking the little back one was. This was only a week or so after we'd moved here from Brentwood, not a warm welcome!

 

I have a spare Autoshite sticker somewhere if you want it.

[Craig the Princess]

 

VINCENT

I just wish I caught 'em doin' it,

ya know? Oh man, I'd give anything

to catch 'em doin' it. It'a been

worth his doin' it, if I coulda just

caught 'em, you know what I mean?

 

LANCE

It's chicken shit. You don't fuck

another man's vehicle.

 

They really are scum who need to be taught not to do this...

[trigger]

I've just remember that i had the same window smashed on my Mk 4 Escort in Braintree High Street about 10 years ago outside the Weatherspoons pub, the feckers never even stole anything.

Pah. That is the normal way they say hello in Stretford. You Essex peeps dunno nuffin, eaahhh.

 

Also - motherfuckers. No need for that sort of thing at all.

[retrogeezer]

Not sure how I missed this 1st time around.....top score there, it looks ace.

[AXrescuer]

Fecking malicious little wakners!

[ashmicro]

Yup, I had that one broken on my Mark 4 as well. People think they can reach in and get at the interior door handle. Not hard to fit a replacement IIRC, the rear rail for the main window screws into the frame at the top, inside the seal I think.

[retro80sboy]

as I said to you before mate, absolute twats, im gutted for you Danny.

 

Happy though I could help out with some off road parking for you until you get it fixed. Its in good company with my 2 Mk 4s until then.

 

Loved driving it yesterday, got to be the best mk 4 ive driven - you can tell its been looked after with no expense spared over the years.

[trigger]

You know, it is possible that it could have been a stray stone, my dad took out a window in a neighbours Volvo once while cutting the front lawn, a stone flicked up and shot straight through it.
