In Brief:
A delightfully original yet tidy example of a Mk 2 Escort in Ghia Trim
Finished in Black over a Red velour interior
In the same family for 10+ years
Accompanied by a great history file including MOT's back to 1983
Genuine 82,831 miles from new
Auctioneer’s Notes:
A very tidy and wonderfully original-feeling example of the Ford Escort Mk II Ghia, presented in an attractive colour combination of Black over a Red velour interior.
Representing the luxury end of the Mk II Escort range, this well-kept example has been in the same family for over a decade and has clearly been cherished during that time.
The car has been garaged since 2013, helping preserve its condition, and it continues to present as an honest and appealing example of this increasingly collectible classic Ford.
Maintenance & Condition:
The Escort has benefited from sensible maintenance during its life, including the fitment of new tyres in 2020 and the installation of a recent battery.
