Great to see there are still a few of these gems out there. Hope it goes to a good home where it can be preserved for future generations to experience one of these Escorts.
Hello Gatekeepers. One of these, a 3-door version, was my first car. The carburetor with automatic choke was a mess and you can barely reach the distributor under the intake stuff. These probs resulted in bad cold start performance. I upgraded to the facelift model with a 1.4 injection which runs a lot better, cause this was a brand new car (last production year). Nice to see such a thing here in this video.
Quando la Ford faceva ancora belle auto (le attuali con quei frontali ad imitazione Aston Martin fanno davvero pena, e certo sono più soltanto plasticoni pure quelle). Questa l' abbiamo avuta in casa, proprio 1100 L argento metallizzato ed ovvio guida a sinistra dato che sono italiano.

Now that's a quiet Valencia engine !
The fact that it's not mint means that you wouldn't feel guilty using it
True 👍
Heaton Motor company (Ford dealers) went bust not long after this car was sold by the looks of it being wound down in 1983
What did this fetch at auction
How much did it go for ?
С удовольствием купил бы! Но... Я живу в России... ((
Buy it and import it back 👍
Them 1.1s were extremely underpowered with hideous gearing.
