Description
1983 Ford Escort MK3 1. 3GL - garage find!
First registered 1st August 1983
Excellent project!!!!!
Genuine 42, 000 miles
Very rare Mk3 1. 3 GL
(and believed 1 owner from new)
This is a total time warp car, having been last used on the road in June 1998. The owner left it in the garage after his wife died and it's remained there ever since. He has now passed away himself with the house being redeveloped by family members and sold on. It's never had a digital MOT.
Condition:
- Totally original
- Very, very, very solid
- Seat covers fitted (I'm told from new)
- Spare wheel unused on road (I fitted it due to a perished tyre).
- Original dealer plates / stickers
- Original Ford LW/ MW radio
- "Escort" Mud flaps
A leaky garage roof caused some flaky paint and surface rust.
The car is totally solid - and is NOT rotten.
The areas would clean up with a flap wheel to as new metal but it will obviously be in need of paintwork.
The front wing (which is the worst looking part) I think should even clean up.
- I can see 1 bit of welding required, localised at the bottom of the left hand side front wing (pictured) which appears to be the wing itself (rather than the vehicle structure).
- I've not washed or cleaned it so comes "as is" with cobwebs and dust.
- I've not tried to start it.
- It's all there and totally complete.
- All tyres are fully pumped up and hold air.
- There are remnants of the sheets that covered it stuck to it (which explains some of the photos!)
There is no V5 (I wont apply for one as would add another owner)
Keys are with me and full receipt is given. I understand it was owned from new but I can't check to prove this so please do bare that in mind. Please understand there is no reason to disbelieve 1 owner, but I cannot prove it.
It shows up on the DVLA MOT check website so they still have it recorded.
Pictures show everything. A lovely little project!This is a total time warp car, having been last used on the road in June 1998, at 42000 miles.
