1988 MK4 Ford Escort 1.6L 5-DOOR ESTATE CAR (1 PREV OWNER) SHOWING 61.613 MLS

Description

1988 MK4 Ford Escort 1.6L 5-DOOR ESTATE CAR IN TRULY REMARKABLE SHAPE FOR ITS AGE (NOT ROTTED OUT)
IT'S LAST MOT EXPIRED IN DECEMBER 2025, SO I SUBMITTED HER IN FOR A NEW MOT TODAY, 08/01/26 AT A VERY STRICT (BELT & BRACES) REPUTABLE MOT TEST CENTER IN DEWSBURY. AND SHE FAILED ON A FEW EASY FIX BITS & BOBS AND ALSO A TINY BIT OF WELDING THAT REQUIRES DOING ON THE VERY END OF ONE OF THE FRONT CHASSIS LEGS (BUT DEFINITELY NOT HORRENDOUS) AND EVEN THE MOT TESTER HIMSELF COMMENTED ON HOW SOLID IT IS UNDERNEATH FOR ITS AGE !!

THIS IS A VERY HONEST / GENUINE UNMOLESTED TURN-KEY RELIABLE AND DAILY USABLE SPECIMEN THAT WAS IMPORTED BACK FROM THE ISLE OF MAN, WHERE IT HAS SPENT MOST OF ITS FAIRLY SHELTERED LIFE, AND THERE IS JUST 1 PREVIOUS OWNER RECORDED ON THE LATEST NEW STYLE UK V5C LOGBOOK !!

ALL THE BODY PANELS ARE VIRTUALLY ARROW SRAIGHT WITH NEAR PERFECT GAPS & SEAMS. AND THE PAINTWORK LOOKS FAIRLY ORIGINAL WITH ONLY THE ODD AGE-RELATED IMPERFECTION OR TO BE EXPECTED LIGHT SURFACE RUST SCAB HERE AND THERE, BUT IT STILL PRESENTS VERY WELL INDEED FOR ITS AGE. AND THE FULL INTERIOR IS VIRTUALLY UNWORN AND MORE OR LESS SPOTLESS !!
IT STARTS STRAIGHT UP WITH NO ISSUES AND IT ALSO RUNS & DRIVES SUPRISINGLY WELL FOR AN OLD CLASSIC FORD ESCORT !!
THE CARBURETOR HAS RECENTLY BEEN FULLY STRIPPED / CLEANED AND RECONDITIONED BY A VERY WELL RECOGNISED FORD CARBURETOR SPECIALIST BASED IN HULL, EAST YORKSHIRE !!. STILL, IT WOULD BENEFIT FROM A BIT OF SETTING UP CORRECTLY, AS SHE TICKS OVER A BIT ERATICALLY WHEN IT COMES OFF THE AUTOMATIC CHOKE !!

IT STILL HAS ITS ORIGINAL FORD STEREO CASSETTE UNIT, AND IT'S ALSO FITTED WITH A SET OF 5, INCLUDING THE SPARE. GENUINE (FORD STAMPED) PERIOD STYLE PEPPER-POT DESIGN 14" SPORTS ALLOY WHEELS !!
OTHERWISE SHE'S IN FAIRLY NEAR BONE STOCK ORIGINAL TRIM THROUGHOUT !!

COMES WITH ITS ORIGINAL FORD MAIN DEALER SUPPLIED BOOK PACK CONTAINING ALL ITS ORIGINAL HANDBOOKS / MANUALS AND ORIGINAL SERVICE BOOKLET WITH QUITE A FEW HISTORIC SERVICE STAMPS IN IT !!
ALSO COMES WITH LOTS OF RECENT SERVICE INVOICES, INCLUDING ONE FOR A VERY RECENT CARBURETOR REBUILD WHICH WAS DONE BY A VERY REPUTABLE CLASSIC FORD CARBURETOR SPECIALIST !!
BOTH KEYS ARE STILL PRESENT WITH THE CAR, AND IT'S FULLY HPI CLEAR WITH NO HIDDEN HORROR STORIES WHATSOEVER !!

ALL IN ALL, ALTHOUGH OBVIOUSLY AT THIS LOW ASKING PRICE SHE'S NOT ONE OF THESE RAVING MINT RESTORED SHOW PONIES THAT YOU OFTEN SEE MAKING ABSOLUTE FORTUNES ££ AT SOME OF THESE FANCY CLASSIC CAR AUCTIONS, ETC., THIS PARTICULAR EXHAMPLE IS JUST A VERY (ABOVE AVERAGE) GENUINE AND VERY HONEST DAILY RELIABLE AND PERFECTLY USEABLE SPECIMEN THAT STILL DRAWS APPRECIATIVE INTEREST AND NICE COMMENTS FROM ALL AGE GROUPS OF CLASSIC CAR LOVERS WHEREVER YOU PARK OR DRIVE IT !!

SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE AT JUST £3995 (VERY FIRM) WITH NO LOWER OFFERS OR (OVERPRICED) PART EXCHANGE VEHICLES BEING ENTERTAINED WHATSOEVER PLEASE !!
BUT MAY HAVE A SENSIBLE DEAL (AT TRADE VALUES ONLY) WITH FUNDS EITHER WAY ££
FOR ANY CAR / VAN / 4X4 VEHICLE / MOTORCYCLE / AMERICAN OR CLASSIC VEHICLE OR ANYTHING A BIT DIFFERENT, INTERESTING OR ODDBALL, ETC !!
