Description
1970 Ford Escort Mk1 940cc – Matching Numbers – ASI Registered – £19,500
Currently, it’s the only 940cc for sale anywhere on the entire internet.
A truly rare find – this is a 1970 Ford Escort Mk1 with its original 940cc matching-numbers engine, showing just 113,000 km (≈ 70,200 miles) from new. Recently imported from the very south of Italy, this spec is exceptionally scarce and ideal for the serious collector.
This is not your usual 1.1, 1.3, or wannabe tuned Mexico – this is exactly as it left the factory, in its ultra-rare 940cc Deluxe trim.
The shell is in outstanding condition thanks to decades of dry storage in a warm climate, and at some point in its life it has been resprayed in its original colour. All UK customs paperwork is complete, V5 in hand, and it’s ready for its new home.
📌 Highlights:
940cc DeLuxe trim with matching-numbers engine – incredibly rare
Recently imported from southern Italy – exceptional solid shell
ASI registered in Italy (Automotoclub Storico Italiano) – original ASI label still present
Remanufactured steering rack fitted + original included
Brand new matching tyres
Brand new battery
Set of brand new engine and gearbox gaskets
Additional dashboard in superb condition that just needs fitting
Additional tachometer
Starts and drives – could benefit from a full service
Needs a new thermostat, but Iit comes with the car (I will source it)
3 keys
Availability: The car is not UK registered. I am happy to ship worldwide and assist with the full export process – paperwork and shipping – so buyers from anywhere in the world are welcome.
Why act now: Car & Classic values this model at £20,800 – at £19,500 this is already below market value, and examples in this condition aren’t easy to find
Collector’s note: This Escort has been preserved, not patched together. If you’ve been waiting for a solid, genuine Mk1 to add to your collection, this is it.
Payment: Bank transfer preferred. Bitcoin accepted – price in Bitcoin is £25,000 equivalent.
📅 Arrange viewing only if you are genuinely serious – MK1 Escorts like this do not come around often for sale.
