The Appeal
The Ford escort was ubiquitous in the 90’s and are now finding their rightful place as classics.
With a reputation for reliability and a solid build that’s the envy of many other classics the Escort provides a fantastic route into classic motoring.
With its distinctive 90’s styling inside and out this Escort Silhouette is an easy driving convertible perfect for enjoying some summer sun on the open road.
• Only driven around 60 miles since the current owner bought the car last September
• There is an invoice from the previous owner detailing work carried out at the same time as the current MOT which includes cambelt and waterpump, centre and rear exhaust, battery, fuel tank and pump, front and rear brake pads/shoes and a coolant change.
• The seats are generally good with the driver's seat showing some wear and discolouration as shown in the images
• The dashboard and centre console are in very good condition
• The door cards show signs of wear as shown in the images
For a generation of people sitting behind the wheel of this Escort will take them straight back to growing up in the 90’s.
The seats are comfortable and the interior is very much of its time. The roof is in good condition inside with no signs of water ingress. With the roof down this car really comes into its own.
• A few small scratches and other signs of wear as shown in the photos
The exterior of this Escort is entirely original and unmodified including the original wheels.
The paintwork is generally in good condition with a few small areas that would benefit from attention and this is the same with the trim. The soft-top shows no signs of leaking and is in good overall condition, with a few areas of stitching that require attention as shown in the images.
The car presents well overall and looks great with the top down making it an ideal choice for summer.
• Only 60 miles covered (estimated) in the last year, the vendor driving it back from the previous owners when he bought the car.
• Prior to sale the previous owner completed work for the MOT as well as replacing the timing belt and waterpump
• Clean underneath as shown in the images
• Starts, runs and idles very well
• The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should • New battery • Four new tyres
One of the reasons for the popularity of the Escort was its reputation for reliability, with its low mileage for the year and the recent work carried out combined with its overall condition we think this would make a fantastic reliable classic for anyone looking for a convertible.
The engine bay and underside of the car are both clean and in good condition, a good indicator that this car has been well cared for.
This Escort provides an affordable way into classic motoring and with the soft-top it’s an excellent choice for some sunny summer driving.
Benefitting from recent work and with a long MOT it’s ready for the road.
