Description
FORD ESCORT XR3 1982
“Would consider PX for pick-up truck of equivalent value”
Taken out of dry storage around a month ago.
Has been driven consistently since then.
Will start with the issues: has a minor oil leak, the passengers side front wing has had a previous spray job that has not been done particularly well, the fuel tank gauge is constantly saying full (unless someone is filling it up when I'm not looking) - this is most likely due to a stuck float as the tank was cleaned out prior to purchase. Brakes could do with some new discs. Missing radio and the sun roof has been sealed with a half decent job.
Now the good stuff, engine runs sweat as it could. Handles exactly how you would expect with plenty of character. Interior has held up well with comfy and stylish seats. There is no rust at all on the underside of the car (due to rust protection being done from factory and then refreshed a few years ago) and the battery well is also rust free. Asides from a few bits and bobs here and there the body work is very clean. Comes with upgraded K&N filter but still have the original too. +1 full sized spare wheel.
This car was purchased as a bit of a project but due to circumstances will be moving house in 6 months so isn't realistic for me to give it the attention it needs/ deserves.
Advertised for what I paid. Enquires welcome - will be registered as Historic vehicle so Tax, MOT and ULEZ exemptPlenty of paper work will come with the car of all services, etc.
