Exclamation Ford Escort 1.6i LX - M Plate 78K Miles

Fancying a change, so who would like to take Scrote off me?

Has had quite a bit of work since I bought her from Kev including:

Gearbox Reconditioned - Done by Ritchy's Dad's business
New clutch
New timing belt
Arches repaired
Good tyre tread all round
New brake pipes all round
New lower wishbones
New droplinks
new n/s/r brake cylinder
new exhaust from cat back
Oil & Filter changed 4-5 weeks ago
Both outer CV gaitors recently replaced
Inner tie rod end replaced

Comes with standard kit which includes C/L, Alarm, Electric front windows, sunroof. All electrics work and all switches light up when lights are on. Been a good workhorse for me running back and forward to work giving from 37mpg up to 42mpg

Taxed till - 31/01/2011
MOT - Need to check, cannot remember right now lol, looks like it's due December

Last year she had some welding work to a few small areas underneath, this has all been rust tread and last month i went over the underside with Hammerite/waxoyl bitumen type stuff, so should be solid for a good while now

This is an M reg car so while I have shined her up there are the usual wee dints here and there with a couple of small rust patches but nothing too serious tbh and for a Ford of this age is remarkably rot free

On 78K at the moment but still in daily use so this will rise Will also come with the original factory fitted tape deck, not my cd HU that is in it at the moment.

Looking for ?500 ono
Any questions ask away

Few pics prior to arch repairs and a decent polish up.






Just see arch repaired in this pic
