It's just a MK4 escort estate mate, I don't think people are going to think much if anything of it?! If you want it, have it, it's free so why not.
They are rust buckets hence why you probably see few for sale, they are not rare in a good way!

if you want something reliable have it. a few years ago me and my mate ragged one round the welsh mountains and it lasted for hours it will knock it's nuts off but wont die the only reason we stoped was coz the drive shaft poped.
