It is yeh as I fitted a new boot before I sold it, last one was rotten.

But someone has fitted a GTi optional spoiler on the boot hatch as is crap fitment, will need to look at that.

Very nice car, really looks the business. I actually saw a 3 door hatch Escort GTI in red earlier today. It was being driven by a young lad and looked in mint condition. I was looking at them not too long ago, seems they can be picked up for peanuts at the moment, but no doubt strong interest will develop for them with time.
