This Mk2 Ford Escort Sport comes from a deceased estate, its latest keeper having owned it since it was only 3 years old.
It was found at the back of his garage where it had been in storage for many years.
The black paintwork is believed to be from the factory, and is complimented by an eye-catching cloth interior which appears original and should respond well to cleaning.
The odometer shows 58,042 miles, and there have been only 3 former keepers.
The car is supplied with its original number plates in the boot, together with a new tyre and some new mats.
Its paperwork amounts to a few receipts from 2007-08 and insurance papers from 2011-13.
The vendor advises that the handbrake has seized and some battery bolts are missing.
