This is a fun. exiting and exhilarating rural road car and NOT a tourer.

I am now unable to exploit its full potential due to mobility. o I have chosen to sell.

I used to show this car when it was in concourse condition but with the last four years of no road use 

I would class it now as in very good condition.

Last year a front calliper seized so I decided to replace a thousand pounds worth of

callipers. discs. bearings. pads. bushes. track rod ends. gators. rear shoes. cylinders n fixings. seals. fuel pipes.

Remember it is 25 years old so if your looking for a show car don't bid.

But it wouldn't cost a fortune or take a long time to get it there for the motoring d. i. y'er.

 If your looking for a nice looking classic to enjoy and drive around to excite then this is for you.

To quote another seller 

"Please come and look before you bid as I'm sick of the classic ebay morons winning stuff and not buying. "

You will find it very hard to find an equal.

The axle ia a reinforced RS2000 Escort live axle and not from an Ital.

It has now been fully serviced and a new ignition coil fitted.
