That looks amazing.

The favoured security device on this forum at the moment seems to be a steering wheel lock. There is also a thread going discussing trackers.

Looks mint. :)

Hi all im new on here as iv just inherited my late father in law escort 1.6 ghia 1976. Car has never been monified and he has always used it since feb this year. So will be looking for help in restoring it to A1 condition. 

The car was his pride and joy but it was just a car to him. 

Im in middle of regesting it under my name. 

Where is the best place to insure the car ? 

Many thanks
