Description

Unmolested 1988 Ford Escort XR3i in Diamond white.
1 previous owner since 1988 and the V5 is in my name.
Only 59189 miles.
Totally original paint work and never had any body work done on the car. As the pictures show the condition of this car is superb and in time warp condition.
Original dealer fitted number plates, rear window sticker and tax disc holder and the original factory fitted spotlights too.
Original radio cassette player and the rear parcel shelf is complete as standard.
This car looks like it left a Ford showroom yesterday rather than nearly 37years ago!
The original owner only ever drove it on her own and the interior is wear free with perfect condition seats, no sagging door cards and no cracked dashboards which are all common things on cars of this age.
The car had in April a full service, Mot , cambelt, starter motor, a new battery and a new fuel pump.
The car was professionally detailed last summer and has been garaged since.
I am extremely fussy and this car drives like new, no classic noisy tappet CVH engine, it’s so smooth and quiet as it’s not been thrashed and all you hear is the lovely old school exhaust rasp just before you change gear from the standard exhaust like you did from these cars back in the day when older cars were basic and exciting compared to today.
I have the original order form, service book with 9 Ford stamps in the first 8 years and then various service receipts from over the years when the mileage came down from minimal use. The cars has done just under 150 miles in the last 20 years. Please look at the MOT history to fully appreciate the originality of this car and it failed an MOT in the 2019 on a wiper blade.
It’s not concours restored condition but in superb original condition.
The car comes with a piranha alarm linking to the remote central locking and a stop lock steering lock.
The car has been garaged all its life and the battery tray is perfect with no rot whatsoever.

The condition of this car would suit a collector or enthusiast who will continue to preserve this car.

£23150 and if you have looked at the photos and you know about these cars then you will know how good this car is.

Thanks for looking!
