Cool. Why cant i find cars like this.

Become a postman Glenn not a mechanic, you travel a bit then and have more chance finding stuff, a cousin of mine used to be a hearse driver, out and about all the time so he was constantly finding stuff. Travelling onto farms and stuff, if ever there was a barn door left open you never knew what treasure could be discovered.

Unfortunately it doesn't belong to me. I was taking to the owner tonight and he is saying he will probably move it on. It is the most structurally sound non restored Escort I've ever seen and has the Ł7 option of radial tyres! but it has been damaged to the rear. I took some more pics.

Like gjh, I get to meet allsorts of folk. Went to a customer the other day, got talking cossies, he said he knows of an Escort Monte, sat in a barn, just rotting away, all the windows are open, all the interior covered in pigeon shit...!? Why?? Apparently the owner would rather keep it to rot, than sell/break it?!

Anyway, rant over, nice mk1 considering it's been sat so long, glad to see its getting saved!

The owner of this car sold it on ebay at the weekend, the new owner has a yb ready to install.
