Default New summer toy

Bought this a couple of weeks ago for a summer toy till my saff resto is done.
I'm the 3rd owner, 42k miles from new all original and unrestored bar a stainless exhaust and de-cat pipe. came with a mountain of paperwork, fsh etc and was a concours winning car as well.









Just needs a good clean up and a new fan belt, then road tax at the end of the month

I've only done about 100 miles so for, but it drives great! No rattles, squeaks or clunks and I'm surprised how well it goes, very under rated cars. I've always preferred the shape of early ones as well

Got the escort taxed and cleaned up for its 1st show this year, an open day at my work









Was in good company as my old yellow mex was there as well.
