Default New purchase , MK2 Escort Van

As above , been looking at MK2's for a while but couldn't justify the 2 door prices so bought myself a van

It's SA import and it's absolutely solid and super straight , was Bermuda blue originally and I'm going to bare shell paint it
back to original colour and keep it standard looking with maybe Mexico or lotus steel wheels

Originally it was a 1300 and although it's only done 50k kms from new it's has a brand new 1600 cross flow fitted with new twin choke webber and both have only covered 20k kms so I'm going to leave as is , it's just for the odd run out at the weekend and not looking to break any land speed records etc

Wow, That's looks cool! Who'd have thought we'd all be going doughy eyed over an old work horse we used to see all over the place 30 odd years ago...
