Default Trying to track down my old Gartrac Escort

Hello all,

Just a long shot in case anyone might know the whereabouts of my old Gartrac G6 Escort.

I had to sell it when I got divorced, it was a wreck at the time but I always wondered what happened to it.

It was at the time of selling white, mk3 with gartrac arches, fitted with a v6. Registration was A578 XXX

thanks for reading.

There is a white Gartrac parked in a yard covered in dirt just off the Stanmore underground line heading towards Wembley.

I posted about this on the RSOC website in November as we saw it from the tube. Sorry but cannot remember the exact station its at.

I believe this car is currently for sale in the Stafford area (advertised on Facebook). It is a just a shell, but looks to be in fair condition with front wings missing.The alloy arches have been removed and are the Gartrac early type and at some point it has been modified to accept a 4 link rear axle. current owner is stating that it was originally supplied with carb rather than the usual injection engine.

EDIT: Actually, It says he can't get PM's...

I've sent the guy a PM (I have it in my head you can't as you're new?)

Anyway, he was last here in 2015, maybe he'll reply...
