1969 Mk1 Ford Escort Estate, Petrol,manual gearbox For Sale

I will start by saying this advert is testing the water, I really want to keep the car longer, but already have another classic, a daily, this, and need to buy a van for my business, so just trying to be sensible and downsize the fleet a little.

The car itself:

1969 Mk1 Ford Escort Estate - Lovely Jade Green metallic

The car has still been continuously MOT'd over the years and holds a test certificate upto April 2018.

59, 700 miles - will rise though only driven every so often.

Lovely car registered back in December 1969, still have old style buff logbook in the history, showing the names and addresses of the first 3 owners. The 3rd owner of which ended up owning and cherishing the car an incredible 35 years.

There is a thick history file contains every MOT certificate since turning 3 years old in December 1972 - proving the mileage to be 100% accurate. It makes great reading, with almost all paperwork and owners recorded. Original owners manual here, 2 keys and even the purchase invoice made out to the long term keeper, dated December 1972.

Needs some cosmetic work, can send photographs of rust spots - these are limited to the A posts. Replacement panels have been custom made, and I may get the chance to fit these, as something of a summer project. If not, they will be included in the sale.

The strut tops and inner wings are in excellent original condition.

Every drive is an occasion and everyone smiles and waves to you in a car like this. The car receives many compliments and I would love to keep it longer.

Open to offers, would ideally want the car to go to a good home and have first refusal if it were to ever come up for sale again, hopefully at a time when there's more 'room at the inn' my end !

A great, practical classic, to take shows and love. Very rare and unique.
