My uncle left me his car which is a Ford escort flight... he bought it in 2000 and he's been the only owner... 51.000 miles on the clock, good condition... on the RAC website it says they only made them in red, black and white... but my uncles is silver (bought new)... can anyone tell me if this is true... is it a rare car... how much can I sell it for... (I drive auto)

£500 give or take. It was at the end of the Escort era and the flight was quite a low spec.

Another car I'd virtually forgotten. However a quick search to remind myself showed Matthewsons had sold one a few years back:

Oddly the RAC site does mention red, blue and white only but shows a pic of a silver one. I've found a couple of other pics of silver also, but they do seem to have been predominantly red, blue or white.

Another blue one at a higher price:
