The interior is imaculate looks hardly worn
When looking through the history it was originally a Lease car which probably explains the high miles and Ford history it has since the lease company its done 9K since 2002

not too bad of a car, think they should have made it a bit different looking compared to the run of the mill escorts.

That was his dads old car that he sold to me, way too slow in standard form so I fitted a 2.3
The plenum lasted just about long enough to get it run in then it was throttle body time

2 or 4wd?
always quite fancied a 4wd one myself, even though they're supposed to be nothing but trouble, usally more expensive, and put out less power aswell as use more fuel..

Well as Mark knows I didn't think much of the old mans 4x4
was far to slow, the 2wd is fast BUT doesn't handle or brake aswell
