1980 Mk2 Escort 1.6 Ghia For Sale

If you're looking for a very smart Escort, this has to be one of the best going.

I have uploaded a short film on Youtube, search for...
Mk2 Escort 1. 6 Ghia walk around
.... at the end of that film there is a link to watch an open bonnet clip of the engine running.
This was recorded in mid November (just to say it is relatively recent)

Interior very clean, underneath very clean, exterior - very clean, engine bay very clean, you get the idea, not only clean but straight and great to drive.
These pics were taken Nov 2020, the car has also a set of mint black/ chrome Mini-lights. So buyer has the option of wheels, the asking price includes both sets of wheels. The wheels on it in the film are genuine Mexico's, very much like standard but with a wider stance. Both sets are pretty much perfect condition.
The car has been poly-bushed throughout.
Uprated Gaz Suspension
5 Speed type 9 Gearbox with perfectly matched Diff - no whining or clunks, good power delivery through all gears
Period looking DAB & hands free - not a cheap repro one, this is a 'Continental', often fitted to Porsche & Mercs.
New Ashley Exhaust front to back
Engine standard 1. 6 with twin choke webber - recently tuned by a specialist
Chrome all as good as perfect
Quarter bumpers on front - I have the original full size front bumper in same condition. I also have the original steering wheel and radio if you want to revert it back to an original car. Other spares left from restoration to go with the car.
New Seat Belts in the Back
I realised I didn't upload internal shots of the boot, it is equally as clean, no welded patches like so many others.
The only upgrade was new top plates to the front suspension. (sensible and professional upgrade) they have had the corresponding frame numbers stamped into them for continuity of detail.
It has a full size spare wheel, in equally in VGC
Tyres all A1 or as new.
Detailed Photo record of restoration in 2016
At great expense a recently fitted Vinyl Roof by professionals, (Aldridge Trimming) all new screen rubbers and chrome inserts.
Door gaps all perfect
Ask questions...
If you do not have the asking price please do not enquire, I'm not interested in bartering or trading. In fact please do not come to look unless you have cash ready or can show me it in your bank ready for transferal.
The car is great and I know I am 'like everyone says' - 'going to regret this'.
The car is a 1980, one of the last to roll off the line, it is MOT and Tax exempt in April - I think,... could already be...
12 months MOT for peace of mind, expires end of January 2022
Covid makes selling very difficult so please do not expect a demo drive out. You can view maintaining 2 meters and wearing a mask, you can drive the car if you have the appropriate insurance and can give me the full amount in cash as a downpayment. Basically if you crash it, it is yours.

There's probably loads I've forgotten, ask questions...
I am not in a hurry to sell, so offers will be refused. The car is priced more than fairly and if not sold I will remove it and re-advertise in the summer, but for £2k more!
A bargain motor to enjoy with very little or nothing to do on it, everyone likes to add their own touches.

Lots of high res pics available
