Finished in Titanium Gold with a black soft top over a cloth interior Just 2 former keepers Cylinder head overhaul with valves replacement undertaken recently Equipped with factor, body coloured hard top
On the Surface:

With its lightweight fibreglass body and distinctive design, C102 WNX remains true to its original specification, powered by Ford’s 1296cc CVH engine as fitted to the period Escort.
Maintenance & History:
Acquired by The Vendor as a project, the Scimitar has benefitted from some TLC their ownership.
While little in the way of documentary history accompanies the car, the registration is live on DVLA records and the vehicle is offered with its V5C.
Notable works include a full cylinder head overhaul with valves replaced, both door sills renewed, and the rear outrigger repaired.
