PaulMal Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Hi folks, I have inherited a Ford Escort from my late father and i don't know what to do with it. It is an L reg escort saloon ghia si. Its in good condition with only 43,000 miles on the clock, I don't know if its a classic or whether to take it to the scrap yard. It has a 1.7 engine size and i can't find any others like that they all seem to have 1.8 engines. I would dearly appreciate any info on this model from you guys that may know. Thanks in advance for any help. Paul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is it diesel or petrol? The only 1.7 petrol engine I am aware of was fitted to the Puma. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulMal Posted January 3, 2016 Author Share Posted January 3, 2016 ok, I've looked under the bonnet and it says 1.7 on the engine block and thats what i was going by but a look at the v5 and yes its a 1798cc so its a 1.8, sorry guys, should have double checked first. Is it worth me selling it though?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without a transplant it had to be a 1.8 . . . . - it could well be worth good money - have a look on Autotrader for similar examples & prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WES180 Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 It would be good if you could put it in your garage for 10 years, be worth good money then as a tidy 30 year old car as long as youve got the space to park it and forget about it.
