Australian 2.0 Escort

There has been some discussion regarding Aussie Escorts in the For Sale section so thought I'd show some of the more unique aspects on mine!

The actual tank is under the boot floor and notice the proper filler blanking piece where a European one would be!

[fast eddie]

what are your plans,keep it as is?

[BB49Twink]

I don't really know as I have 5 Old Fords and can't keep them all !

This is an Automatic, 1 owner, 84,000KM car, they bought it in Australia and brought it back with them. They have gone back now which is why they had to sell it. They tell me it had the bigger black stripes on it new but couldn't get them when it had some paint done here. Otherwise the car is in it's original spec.

If I am realistic I will probably sell it .

thats a real shame,cos that would be very different to see at the shows!!
all the best pal,Edd.

Thats why I bought it as I'd never seen one at a show!
I like yellow and black to gether and lowered with 4 spokes or my set of 7x13 Black centred Revolutions on I thought it would be pretty smart. .

Being Auto it's ready for it's 5 speed as well!

That interior looks like it's from the 'Denim Pack' that was introduced into the MK2 range in the late 70's. Dunno about the stripes, maybe they were custom..

[BB49Twink]

The original owners son has pictures of the car new and is going to scan them for me. They sound like the Rallye Sport stripes as he's described them.
The spoilers are Rallye Sport but there is no rev counter so I'm not sure what it is.
I'll try and get more info off him as he still remembers them buying it new!

I think I will have to let this go, my MK1 will be coming home soon and I have a MK1 Capri to do so this is 2 years away from being started!

I will do a proper advert with better pics and more details when I get a chance.
