Description
1988 Ford Escort XR3i in Diamond white.
1 previous owner since 1988 and the V5 is in my name.
Totally original paint work and never had any body work done on the car.
Original dealer fitted number plates, rear window sticker and tax disc holder and the original factory fitted spotlights too.
This car looks like it left a Ford showroom yesterday rather than 36 years ago!
The original owner only ever drove it on her own and the interior is wear free with perfect condition seats, no sagging door cards and no cracked dashboards which are all common things on cars of this age that are for sale claiming to be excellent condition!!
The car had in April a full service, Mot , cambelt, starter motor, a new battery and a new fuel pump.
I am extremely fussy and this car drives like new, no classic noisy tappet CVH engine, it’s so smooth and quiet as it’s not been thrashed and all you hear is the lovely old school exhaust rasp just before you change gear from the standard exhaust like you did from these cars back in the day when older cars were basic and exciting compared to today.
I have the original order form, service book with 9 Ford stamps in the first 8 years and then various service receipts from over the years when the mileage came down from minimal use. The cars has done just under 150 miles in the last 20 years. Please look at the MOT history to fully appreciate the originality of this car and it failed an MOT in the 2019 on a wiper blade.
It’s not concours restored condition but in superb original unrestored condition and looks like a time warp car.
The car comes with a piranha car alarm linking to the remote central locking and a stop lock steering lock.
The car has been garaged all its life and the battery tray is perfect with no rot whatsoever.
Viewing will be in Farnham in Surrey.
Thanks for looking and no silly offers, if your budget is £12000 then you won’t be buying a car to this standard. Seeing this car in person is advised.
£22000 no offers please if you have looked at the photos and you know about these cars then you will know how good this car is.
Going into 5 months storage if not sold by the end of October.
