Some of you that attend Shows and passionford events would have seen this car on our stand, Even though ford badged it as a escort it will always be a Orion to me, Been a ultra reliable car and a pleasure to own, only reason for selling it is I have another car and intend to sorn this from jan 1st if not sold, as the pictures show its no dog and buffs up well, heres the good and bad of this future rare classic, was pretty amazed how much attention this car got at some shows earlier this year as it was parked next to cosworths and the like owned by passionfords elite, This a turn Key car ready to drive away whatever the distance

That''s ultra clean! Like that a lot mate.

 

Thanks fella, open to decent offers from passionforders

 

Off topic, But is that number plate always on the car or is it just for show purposes? If its on the car for road use how do you get away with that? I only wonder as ive noticed it on alot of your threads and on a frst at some point.

Said it before but this car looks proper clean

 

I own the plate and its back on retention, black/silver plates were only ever used at shows etc as not worth getting pulled for being a pleb lol ,

 

You dont see many on the roads these days esp in excellent condition.

GLWTS mate

 

thanks mate

 

Can't believe this hasn't sold. Good luck

 

thats its mate £900 with the 17s or £600 if a buyer has spare wheels to throw on, its even cheap for a winter hack

 

That looks lovely Steve.

 

u have pm

 

its a really decent honest car Glenn which does everything it should


replied matey

 

very clean that as above carnt belive its not sold

 

Be a shame to break cant remember last time I seen one never mind this clean.

 

What bhp is it 105 or 130?

 

same as a GTI ben 115ps only some of the SI models were ever 130ps

wont be using it after january so it needs to go or be broke, also now on ebay too http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2012476693...84.m1586.l2649

 

No!!!!! Dont do it 😞

 

cars sitting around (well from jan) simply rot away especially fords so I have now ebay'd it and if not sold I will defo strip it to bare bones as I will make more money in long run so I am not fussed either way mate

 

Hope it sells shame to break

 

Have you tried Escort Evolution...? I would have thought Massive Wangers would have taken this....

 

He already knows and forums are pretty quiet this time of year so it will either sell on here or via ebay or i will strip it come January whatever comes first

 

Haha can't believe I have that much of a reputation

As much as I would like it, I already have a MK5 Escort saloon, a MK5 RS2000 rally car, another MK5 rally car coming, and a Clio 172 Cup, so I'm full currently!

 

Just sell the clio and get Steves car bought.

 

If only it were that easy Glenn, mind you looked this morning and had 99 watchers and 4 offers so the signs are good

 

I've got half a bag of wine gums sitting here if that offer's any good to you Steve?

 

I usually get people from work or neighbours watching my items just to be nosey, not necessarily interested in buying unfortunately

 

Without wishing any disrespect to Steve's car, the Clio is just in a different league to an Escort, it's ridiculous fun. It's nice having a cheap hack that you don't care about too.

Steve's car looks a beautiful example though, I'm sure someone will buy it. I'm still sorely tempted, but just have no idea what I'd do with it!

 

How has this not sold yet???
