Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 226 votes
Very early mk1 escort that was originally an Irish car. built in Cork in October 1968. so it's a very early mk1 with bonnet release in front grill and fuel filler cap sitting proud rather than flush. I've had the car for roughly 10 years and only now am I realising I'll never get round to getting it back on the road. I have too many projects and it's time to let it go and let someone else enjoy it and more importantly. USE IT!
I put a limited slip diff in around 2 years ago and I haven't even had it out since then. I haven't even got round to putting oil in the diff so I'll supply the oil along with the sale.  
Interior wise it is fitted with re-trimmed roll top recaros with RS steering wheel and re-trimmed door cards. unfortunately the back seat is missing. Quick shift rose jointed gear linkage fitted with a 4 speed manual. Headlining is good also and there is  a 6 clock dash fitted.
13" superlights with decent tyres. LSD fitted along with 2" lowering blocks. Capri struts with new springs fitted a while ago with brake servo and discs up front. I think the rear drums are RS 9" although I'm not sure.
Engine is 1600cc crossflow in standard trim apart from a k&n filter with a 4 branch manifold and Ashley exhaust system. strut brace is also fitted. Hasn't been started for a year or 2. so carb would probably need looked at and plugs out. The car was starting and driving when it was parked in the garage so it would be no big job getting her to start again. Battery is relocated to boot although there is no battery in the car.
The bad bits are as follows. nbsp;She will need attention at the rear arches. especially drivers side. I have included photos so you can see the bubbling and the drivers door is bubbling a bit too.  
The spare wheel well has a few holes. again pic included. but it's certainly no big job.
Needs 2 new shocks for the rear
Very bottom of front panel needs attention also (see pic)
It is a 48 year old car and there will be little bits I've maybe forgot to mention so please bear this in mind when bidding. there are age related marks over the car and realistically when you do the arches you'd be better with a full respray. Underneath is solid with no rust spots either. Bulkhead. inner wings. sills. floorpans etc are all sound. Car is based in Northern Ireland about 40 mins from Belfast
£100 non refundable deposit to be paid at auction end for winning bidder and cash on collection. thanks for looking!
