Here we have an example that has been a star of TV, a Ford Escort 1.6 Ghia, or at least that’s what it once was, it is now liveried up as a police car.

Originally gold, it has been changed many times to suit the TV programme it appeared in such as ‘Not Going Out’, ‘The Wrongs Man’, ‘Brief Encounters - Ann Summers’ and ‘Ashes to Ashes’ amongst others.

Quite a chequered career! However, it is now looking a little tired and needs some work to bring it back to its previous glory.
The Escort comes with a V5, clear HPi certificate and is showing 17,000 miles on the clock, which the vendor suggests may be correct due to its TV work, but you will have to make your own mind up.

It has had some recent work, as it comes with an invoice for £406.80 for lead...
