1985 – Ford Escort 1.6i Convertible 2dr Petrol Manual (103 bhp) – £4000

Step back in time with this meticulously maintained 1985 Ford Escort, a true automotive gem that has weathered the years with remarkable grace. With just 79,980 miles on the clock and lovingly preserved in a garage for most of its life, this classic vehicle has been wax oiled and carefully maintained by its current owner for the past 13 years. ULEZ compliant and ready for a new home, the car boasts a well-functioning engine, smooth gearbox, and recently replaced braking system, making it not just a collector’s piece but a potentially reliable daily driver.

The Escort’s interior is a testament to its originality, featuring the original Ford cassette player, steering wheel, and impeccable door cards and seat covers. While the dash shows some typical age-related cracking, the overall condition is exceptional, with bodywork that tells a story of careful preservation. Minor cosmetic touches like wheel recoating, tire replacement, and some potential welding work on the inner wings would elevate this already impressive vehicle. Comes with a brand new battery, spare set of cloverleaf wheels, and a collection of parts that add to its appeal. A rare find for classic car enthusiasts looking for a piece of automotive history that’s ready to turn heads and comply with modern urban driving regulations.
