mk4's were out well before 90 surely or my car MUST be a fake with it being built in november 1989!!! wasnt it around 87-88 the mk4 came out if not just earlier than that?

clearly talking shit about the early 1990 for mk4 otherwise my cab would be a mk3 and it certainly aint

iTrader: (2)

i was close! ish

guy seems to be really talking shit about when mk4's came out tbh, possible very very late registrationed mk3 but doubtful on that reg to be quite honest. someone's done a facelift on it and hes either on drugs or has been told cack by the old owner that its a mk3 facelift model and he thought from the factory

P_is_for_Paul

If you click on his two links he has to 'prove' its a mk3, the 1st one is an american website for the american escort, which is NOTHING to do with the european one. And the second website is just pure balls

scoobypete

mine is a 1988 and its mk 4

paul16v

i know i might get shot down on this but there is always myths as to what mk of escorts were made,6 or 7 in some cases.if anyone has the duke ford escort history dvd it says that technically the models from 86-90 were a facelift mk3 and the mk4 is the mk5 we all know.If you think about it the shape of the mk3 and 4 as we all know is the same with some new bits on front and rear etc.
does a new mk warrant totally new shape etc
i have a 97 escort which i know as a mk6 but alot of people call it mk7.
very bizarre how there isnt a clear cut answer to the models of escort made

I had a 1982 MK2 escort, that was first registered in 1980, but given a Y reg plate
HHK 366Y, as it was an import, and it did NOT get an age related plate, but one from the year it was imported, maybe similar has happened ?
tabetha

blacky.

pmsl the confushion about the 6 & 7 is the only ones that do get confused a mk3 has always been till d reg & mk4 till j reg obviosly there is an over lap on them but not a mk3 on a f
the bloke must be gulable as fuck if he beleves its a mk3

pullo

We are right ............ He is an idiot.

P_is_for_Paul

Ive still not had a reply from him!

P_is_for_Paul

And his views on it have tripled overnight. Was 100 when i first looked

pullo

Our lass was one of the first to email him about it being a mk4 (yes even she knows the difference ) and he emailed her back with the 2 links and told her she had clearly not worked for Ford of Dagenham. Pure tosser, I would love for him to let us read his Q&A's in his listing, they must be endless, everyone keep on at him. CheeRS.

How can people get it wrong. It's like the muppets that call a Mk6 Escort a Mk7 Mongs

Mk1
Mk2
Mk3
Mk4
Mk5(a)
Mk5b
Mk6
Focus

i thought there was a mk7 escy the late ones on an v or w plates. dunno though

G950KDT

iTrader: (2)

i only ever knew of the mk6 i thought it finished with them... what was changed for the mk7 to be known as it is?

the boy on ebay clearly is in the wrong and was probably informed wrong or as said, watched the duke vid.

same kind of thing with the capri's the mk3 was basically a facelift mk2 so some call it mk2b even though its known as the mk3 widely.

Ginge !

thats correct TOTALLY, no such thing as a mk7 escort, the mk6 is the one with 1 peice headlamps and indicators,, the mk5b is the mk5 with the rear lamp on the boot lit and the bonnet with the grill built into it when the bonet opens

AND THAT BLOKE IS A ANOYING CUNT AS I DID WORK AT IRONICALLY DAGENHAM MOTORS !!!!

XRdodgybird

Well I have told him and I am fairly high up in XROC and run the Northern branch. So if he doesn't change the listing more fool him.

i think the bloke is a little confused ,,, yes its a mk4 but they changed a few features of the car ..... quote
Ford Escort Mk IV ("Mk V")

The fourth generation Escort arrived in September 1990 with an all-new body shell and a simplified torsion beam rear suspension (instead of the Mk III's fully independent layout). Initially the 1.3 L, 1.4 L and 1.6 L CVH petrol and 1.8 L diesel units were carried over from the old model, and were starting to show their age in terms of refinement. However, this model was heavily criticised at its introduction for seemingly cut-price approach to its design (the biggest thing Ford could boast about was the design of its door sealing), and the car was quickly condemned for its mediocre ride and handling, cheap interior and archaic engines. To improve matters, the new Zetec 16-valve engines in the XR3i and the 2.0 L, 16-valve unit (based on the Pinto engine) in the RS2000 appeared in 1992, but specification, however, was higher than before. The Escort was now available with items such as power steering, electric windows, central locking, airbags, antilock brakes and even air conditioning

i think this is where the confusion in his head is

booner999

Is there a chance that its been registered at a later date and some one has put the MK4 front bumper on etc?

paul16v

Doubt it, its got mk4 interior etc probs owing to the fact its a mk4 escort.

dangerousbrian

he is right when he mentions about mk3 erica etc then the fourth gen escort..which is mk5 as we know it...i cant see why he is so bothered anyway what people think...the buyer will know what it is..a mk4 to "normal" people lol...he sound like a bit of a goon anyway

orionadam

my mk 2 orion which is a mk4 escort is an 1988 f reg so that cant be a mk 3

email sent....I'm bored, it show's

delterflier

everything looks like a mk4 on the car exept the doors....thay screem at me mk3 giha?

mabey hes looked at some pics on the net of mk3s and mk4s ,found a little bit of info on the models that came out and came to his own conclusion that its was done in a factory.

its more likly that someone has done it them selfes and he dosent want to say that on the add as that wud mean its been played around with by any tom,dick or harry and not a ford profishanal which might put people off from buying it
