Points to note.

1. It's a back halved car. rear floor could of been done neater.

2. Transmission has a manual valve body. shifts are very hard if there's not enough revs to change from 1st into 2nd (I usually change up around 3000 on the road)

3. The car has no roll cage

4. The car has no blower/heater

5. Was painted last year in satin black. paint job is good but there are some marks here and there.

6. It's 48 years old. looks good for it's age but there is the odd bit of trim that could be tidier.

7. still running the original drum/drum combination valve. I have a new disc/drum one which will improve brake pedal (it's not that bad to honest).

No part ex's Only selling to fund either a Mk1 or Mk2 Escort
