Description
1 of less than 100 still roadworthy (how many left). This is strictly an appointment-only viewing due to my work schedule. This blue metallic beauty has a full MOT history. I have owned her since April 2011, so that’s 15 years now; she’s a classic. Overall, the bodywork is in good condition on the outside; advisory, though, for sills around the bottom doors 5 years ago, which was then sorted (both inner/ outer). Within the past 5 years: Full body respray, sills and rear arches replaced by elite car repairs Marston Moretain 2-3 years back. Clutch around 85K. Timing belt, water pump and battery (NAPA) changed at 93K. This GTi model is equipped with a much-spirited 1. 8-litre petrol engine which offers an engaging driving experience equipped with an upgraded ecu for super responsive acceleration, have also changed up her standard air filter to a sports style k&n to make her a little faster and lowered the suspension by about 20cm. GTI + 16V lettering is available upon purchase (had to be removed when work was carried out).
Original alloys for tyres, a fairly clean original interior inlay with minor cosmetic wear and tear. Leather seats at the front have been reupholstered in the time I have had her, but the driver’s seat has a small mark, though reappearing through usage. This 1998 Ford Escort GTi presents service history, offering a blueprint into its past maintenance and care.
I also have as a way to make this a sweet deal with up to £1000 worth of spare parts brought over the years, they are getting harder and harder to track down like gold dust when replacing, so you can have them too, including 4 tyres and spare replacement alloys.
So if you’re interested in a classic sports performer and want to make your friends, family and other Ford lovers jealous, then why not come down and take a look?
I was introduced to classic cars by a school friend who at the time owned an Escort Mk 2 and never looked back. It will be a shame to see her go, and I would love to see her go to a great home, someone who knows how to treat an old girl who needs future TLC.
