The car was a 1.4 bonus escort in white. It was in mint condition never been welded all original panels rust free. This was converted well it has a lot of pieces put in for stiffness. wen my m8 got the engine he had the sump off for a look inside but the engine was dry as a bone wen i had it

Two questions:
Didnt Ford actually make these in europe, as opposed to conversions done in this country. Are these available?
Wouldnt it be better to use a convertible as a base, as the necessary strengthening work is already done?

Anyhow, looks very nice, just needs a mk3 front end conversion.
