My first Ford was my first car at the tender age of 19. Champagne gold Mk3 Escort 1.6 Ghia 5 door. Sold it to a mate later on that year when I got my S2 (which I still have some 15 years later ) who promptly wrote it off.

Technically, the first Ford that I owned was a MK2 XR2 that I drove around when I was 15.

The first one I had legally was my first car @ 17yrs old, a MK2 Mondeo 2.0 Zetec... and I was the fastest guy in my year at school until some dick got a new 106GTi from his dad!!




Cheers,
Grant

Mine was a gold 4 door mk2 escort 1300 GL. complete with brown vinyl roof, slots, cherry bomb, 4 massive cibie spots, bonnet pins and a lowering kit.

loved it apart from the fact that it had the allegedly better square headlights and too many doors.
