Sad day for me to see the escort up for sale but as Tony said he does'nt have the time to use it. Not sure what i can add to the thread that has'nt been said before about this car apart from there is not many escort's around that will out handle this car. I have been involved with this car from the day it was rolled in to the garage to be prepared and have a lot of fond memories of our day's out rallying and often giving a lot more expensive car's a run for there money with it. Whoever buy's this car is going to get a proper well proven package but if you do buy it and at some event or trackday you find a strange man crawling around under it please dont hit me to hard as i cant help myself it is just a bad habit i have. Thanks Barry (now redundant mechanic)
PS I think a nice 2 litre honda engine would go quite well in this car and be a nice reliable toy

Its a competition rallycar so don't expect it to win any bufty prizes.

It is structurally sound for its age though - inside and out.

There is one main battle scar on a side sill but it will come with the panel to fix it. I did that when it was running on Dunlop slicks (the only time it has ever run on them)

Usual rally interior (its a workhorse)




















No engine/box so no test drives available.

Mate, I'm gutted and wish I had some pounds to keep this for myself..

This car has made ME.. Thanks so much for the experiences...

all our rallies, our trackdays and everything else..

I really wish I had the money to tuck TEPY in the garage for a while.


I really wish you get what you want for the car Tony which is a BARGAIN price....

I'm gutted its going
