Escort

[RobLeeds]

Hi I bought a mk4 1.6 ghia a couple of months ago after having a few mk3s and mk4s back in the day, it’s unrestored and never been welded or painted. Looking forward  to taking it to a few shows in the north of England this year. Rob

Hello Rob, welcome to the forum.

I used to love my Escorts and Orions, had many of them from 1975 to 1995

Thanks, yes remember an old mk1 I had and sold for £100 in the eighties, if only we knew then what we know now.

Thanks, yes they were rot boxes like most cars back then, but even with my limited abilities very easy to fix mechanically.
