Bought this a couple of weeks ago for a summer toy till my saff resto is done.
I'm the 3rd owner, 42k miles from new all original and unrestored bar a stainless exhaust and de-cat pipe. came with a mountain of paperwork, fsh etc and was a concours winning car as well.









Just needs a good clean up and a new fan belt, then road tax at the end of the month

 

Oh that looks rather nice, well done

 

Liking that mate.

 

Liking that so under rated as an Rs those

 

Tidy looking car always preferred this shape to the later one with the open mouth grill front.

 

I never used to like these however that looks nice

 

I have had one they are a good underated car and tbh will be worth a few quid in years to come.

Nice find.

 

I've only done about 100 miles so for, but it drives great! No rattles, squeaks or clunks and I'm surprised how well it goes, very under rated cars. I've always preferred the shape of early ones as well

 

Very nice. These are getting rare.

 

Going to attempt giving it a freshen up today

 

Ive used that megs clay bar before and tbh i thought the auto glym one was better.

Post more pics of the car when your finished pplishing it.

 

This may take while lol, I'm a bit of a dinosaur with this detailing carry on, more of a good old t-cut and polish man

 

Got the escort taxed and cleaned up for its 1st show this year, an open day at my work









Was in good company as my old yellow mex was there as well.

 

Look good mate. Is that escort van someone from East Kilbride with a restoration company.

 

Yeah that's Craig's van or shifty! I'm sure he's a member on here?

 

Car looking fresh! Some nice cool old fords there too

 

Yeh was talking to him when he was at truck parts place in Bellshill next to my work.

 

Yeah there were a few, the wee fiesta was running an rs2000 engine with a 2.3 bottom end, the escort van was running a pinto and also a mk1 escort twin cam rally car. i'll try find some more pics of them

 

Aye he's a good lad! Fair gets about in that wee van!

 

Very nice! Not too many of those about now.

 

A few pics from ultimate ford day at driftland last weekend

 

Love the mk1 fiestas.

 

Looks in good condition

But I have to say it was dark days at Ford when they stuck the RS badge on these and the Mk6

 

Mk1 fiestas look awesome

 

Picked up a new set of shoes at the weekend, hope to get them on soon after a wee tidy up

 

I was just chatting to my Window cleaner and he has a 1992 Cabriolet XR3i that he wants to sell if anyone interested?

Nice car and pics BTW

 

Those Fiestas are brilliant and I love the bed that lifts to show the running gear etc...what a brilliant Idea!

 

Like the Fiesta pick up, the chap who bought my Mk2 Escort back in March is pals with the owner

 

I always liked those RS wheels, they will look great on the mk5

 

Very neat conversions on both cars, almost like they're meant to be in there
