Lot Ended
Description
Recommissioned over the
last 8 years after being found in ‘barn find’ condition; only genuine Ford parts
used; one of the most original low mileage Escorts around today; showing 21,055
miles, only three recorded keepers.
This original example of a
1983 Ford Escort 1.3 was rescued from a barn around 8 years ago. The engine was
stripped and rebuilt using genuine Ford parts after finding the unit had seized.
The radiator, hoses, drive belt, water pump and clutch cable were replaced
making this car as close to the day it was new as it could
be.
More recently the car benefited for a full repaint to refresh the
outside. With only 3 owners in total and 21,055 miles this must be one of the
lowest miles Escort still around in original
condition.
The interior of the car is
also totally original with the standard radio and no holes drilled for speakers
in the doors and parcel shelf. Looking carefully, you can see the supplying
dealer Cutts Camden sticker is still in the back window and on the number plates
front and back.
The car
starts on the button and for the last few years has been taken to different car
shows where it was exhibited, gathering lots of interest from the
public.
