I actually had 2 Escorts mate, one I sold to BigNige... you must remember his Paciffica Blue one with the Chocolate Gearboxes and the exploding diffs.
The Mallard one went to JasonP in exchange for his RS500, pictured above.
I took the 3 door that Ima now has in part ex against said RS500 but it wasnt for me... so I sold it and bought a lovely 3 door which I have now and wont be selling.
The only slightly scary thing is... Ima can get my address details from the log book and come round for afternoon tea and lardy cakes.....
Best get Kettle on then....

Been alerted to this post...as it was suggested the 3dr i bought is a lemon by the way NeilM is wording it ...Every car has a history and no one can know all about a car thats 18years old and had 11 owners 
BUT as far as i could see on the SCC ramp and driving it....it is infact very very clean and drives very well and with the AP racing front brakes it feels like i can do endos ..interior is mint..engine is sound although as i stated to Steve the cambelt was wayyyyy too tight so that was quickly loosened off...a quick tip for you all ALWAYS check cambelt tension when the engine is fully warmed up as setting the cambelt from cold ends up being too tight on warmed up and would cause it to snap prematurely!...Oh and it was noted that the oil pressure on tick over was around 22psi warm but this was at 500rpm tickover...now 1000rpm and around 27psi and when fully synthetic oil that i use goes in it will be around 30psi...so engine in good heath...even though its not crittical as this 3dr will be 600plus bhp in the near future 
As for price i payed i beleive it was a bargain and could easily make on it as the first 30 seconds of viewing with the AP's and 18's on and the fact that no blemishes are present you would buy it...yes i know its had a wing and a plate welded due to someone jacking it up on the floor pan apparently but a pro job was done it looks...oh and its obviously been resprayed...but again i expected that and at the price i payed i aint complaining as it looks the tits and get many looks but dont know wether its my good looks or the cars
So Neil...i am happy thanks whatever you say...
and why would i care that your skanky ass has owned it ...i am long past being petty i bought the car on its merits.
As for taking it to Karls....you forget i already experienced his poor mapping and back up service!
Over and Out
