Escort GTI's were made from 1994 (M plate) up to 1999 (T plate) they also made them in METALLIC RED. alot of my friends that had these as well as me all had issues with the fuse box.

97 and 98 only I'm 99.99999% sure although as with any car there may be some late registered cars, there's plenty of replicas about, and by t reg ford no longer made a three door escort
