That looks lovely Michael.....can see why you miss it mate.

Always wondered what happened to my old Escos, then I bought Performance Ford March '06 turned to page 128 and there she was M486 UEV. Sitting all proud with the bonnet up at one of the shows by the looks of things, was well chuffed to see that she's being looked after .

Good luck with the search matey.

Who was selling it at that point mate ? I sold it to a guy in ireland, and he sold it to the current owner beside edinburgh. The guy who bought it from me in ireland was the only viewer, and bought it 23 hours after i had posted it on Autotrader.

KSA- The car isnt holtys mate, i asked him i have been in touch with the current owner who still has it, and its off the road for the winter.
