Description
I am selling my Ford Escort Mk2 1300 GT from 1978, left-hand drive, completely restored and prepared in the spirit of Ford Fast Road builds from the late 1970s.
This car was not built to be an RS2000 or Mexico replica, but to deliver the driving pleasure that made Ford's reputation back then, with quality, reliable and coherent components.
It is ready to hit the road and has an FFSA passport, allowing it to participate in regularity trials according to the passport conditions.
Mechanics
The engine is a Ford Pinto 1800 cc, renowned for its robustness and character.

Behind the Wheel
This Escort is a car built for driving.
The Pinto 1800, paired with the Dell'Orto DLRA 40 carburettors and short-throw gearbox, delivers an engine full of character, smooth at low revs and very pleasant to use. The car is reliable, easy to drive and inspires confidence from the first mile.
It will be equally suited for cruising, car meets or regularity rallies thanks to its FFSA passport.
I also have detailed photographs of the car and its mechanics.
Viewings by appointment only.
Time-wasters, dealers and unrealistic offers, please don't bother
