Originally from South Africa and imported around 3 years ago, so it benefits from all the strengthening put in to the SA cars. It is UK registered as a historic vehicle and so both tax and MOT exempt. It has had a lot of restoration work to remove all the rust and stone erosion that most SA escorts suffer from. Following the restoration the underside, underwings, interior and engine bay have been 2 pack epoxy painted prior to priming and top coat. Mechanically it has been completely rebuilt.
