@@MP-po6fj proper 80's motor 👌

@@escorthq5060 sure was dreamed of owning one. Was a Ford tech trainee could only insure a 1.0 litre fiesta 4 speed at 17. Lol. My older brothers mate had mk3 white xr3i. Great memories and thats a peach of an example that is.

@@MP-po6fj we were all in that boat, wishing our lives away to be 21 so we could insure a 96bhp xr3 😂😂...the 80's were awesome

Yeah, mine too

There are a few 3 door ones left, not sure on the number of 1.3 and 1.6 ghias though, in total I'd guess there's less than 10, I'll be starting the recommission in January on mine so hopefully back on the road early spring, yours looks tidy too 👍

@escorthq5060 from my researching over the years there was one other 1982 1.3 2 door ghia left (there are quite a few 4 door ones tho )when I saw yours come to light then I assumed that was the other 👍🏻 .. mine is quite original and 91,000 miles was a 2 lady owner car I daily mine 🫣 rain or shine be prepared to get thumbs up everywhere you go lol Going off you cycling videos you ride close to where I live too lol

@@grahamkay6142 not sure how far to go with it tbh, all the suspension is coming off, probably looking at full engine bay and underside detail, I'm guessing yours is titan blue, you're doing well running as a daily 👏

@escorthq5060 yes I think its titan blue I've put brand new dizzy new fuel pump and new carb bigger radiator just for peace of mind , timing belt snapped 2 weeks ago lol only done 4000 miles on that belt .luckily 4 years ago I bought a brand new original 1.3 engine in a crate so a few days later was up and running again , I sort ov did all the underside of mine new brake lines, petrol lines ,brakes, rubbers ,suspension ,gear selector bushes treated and painted etc etc but left the top half original because i dont garage it and so im not scared of scratching it even tho mot exempt I still mot it , good job too even tho the flexy pipes was new one bust while it was at the mot station (don't know how they did it lol ) so I would recommend braided instead of the rubber flexes it drives nice but when it's to hot it's like a green house so I sometimes wimp out and jump in a car with A.C lol p.s I also put adjustable bottom track control arms to get rid of the factory negative camber this made a big difference to how it drives too

Lucky having the spare engine, I doubt there's many people daily these due to value, mine hasn't moved since it was delivered as I haven't changed the belt, need to get cracking, cheers for the reply 👍

Cheers...it had to be bought, should be getting something done with it this week 👍

Yes, it's now sold 👍

Not sure it had a radio from new, ariel would be on the drivers wing, if you look it's on the passenger side and the wings are original

My brother had a 1.1L in terracotta, was his first car too 👍

Thank you 👍👍👍

You're not wrong there 😂😂

Couldn't possibly disclose that info...I definitely didn't steal it though, seller was well up to speed with escort prices 👍

They're hard to find 👍👍

Yeah, shell has survived very very well, not sure on the speakers though, it doesn't have kick panel speakers so I'd guess never had a radio or had a p21 with dash speaker only

Thanks for that, I bought a 3 door 1.3L a couple of years back, was a mint 1 owner 20k car, wish I'd kept it

@@escorthq5060 very cool! It wasnt the B reg one that was sold by Lancashire Classics was it? Hope to see this one at a show somewhere.

@@RetroAndRusty it was, Wayne sold it for me, it was a minter, the ghia will make a nice car though

Was a lovely machine 👌

Sorry, it's now sold 👍

Thank you 👍👍

Same here, passed my test in 89 so had loads of 80's cars, still love them now 👍👍

Wow, no Capris?

@@johndrake2729 yeah, few 2.8's and 3 280's 😉

@@escorthq5060 Sweet!

Thank you...glad you like 👍👍

Had 1-( the 5speed version)- in south africa- wine red colour-( cvh motor - a fab/solid car /small steering

@@nicolaasjansevanrensburg7543 seems to be a few South African ones over here nowadays

Yes, it is 👍👍

Yeah, I think I sent you a few pics

Yeah, you can see this come past the camera 1min 5 secs in next to 106 in the middle lane 👍
