So there it is, your new Ford Escort !
Completely standard example, my first and current car.
At the time of this video I've managed to clock 17000 miles on this car without a single problem.....cannot fault at all, very fun to drive even for such a small engine and I can highly recommend, great on fuel too !
The 1.3 L was considered the value buy of the 80's.....its value shines ever so more today. Mint examples with low miles are rare these days but can be picked up for under £1000.
I hope one day to own a standard Mk4 RS Turbo. Nice examples are still out there but you must be prepared to pay the £££'s if you want a non abused low mileage example as they are becoming future classics.
Comments are much appreciated, thanks for looking :-)

Thanks for watching. Still running well and literally just changed the oil. 70,000 miles. Some rust appearing on arches and sills, door skin, bonnet etc ... It has been outside for 8 years now and been driven often in all weathers. No welding or anything like that and has been wax oiled underneath. Its about to be parked up in April, dry storage so hopefully will be preserved, I have bought another car recently and hope to restore or convert this Escort in the future as its my first car with sentimental value. Really surprised with how reliable it has been, never let me down even on long journeys. Done a 150 mile journey twice last month, flat out all the way on motorway with no problems :-)

+ClassicGamesRoom Its great to hear that the Escort is doing well. Least its going into storage for a while which will preserve this timewarp. There is a Y reg Sierra 1.6 knocking about where i live. Its in brilliant condition. Old Fords are classics

Do you still have this car now? Still taxed and MoT'd as of today. I hope it's still as nice as in this video. Your engine sounds sweet and willing as well. I used to have the same but a D reg (D257 LTX). Long gone now.

My BEST car of all time.Had the Ford Escort Eclipse ( 1990-91).Unfortunately had to sell because emigrated and would cost too much to ship ( Philippines).Had 15 very good years of trouble-free motoring and passed the MOT first time every year.

Hi again, I actually lost my storage space last year so the Escort is currently outside, the paint work still looks great except from the roof which has faded quite badly, the arches have also started to go a little, as far as the engine is concerned everything is sound and I recently completed a 200 mile trip and it ran great ! I will certainly be keeping it and won't mind spending a little money for a restoration should it need one in the future as it holds sentimental value for me.

I used to have one on a 1990 G plate in medium blue (forget name but was most common blue around). I had this between 1993 and 2005, when I then scrapped it and got a 1996 N plate Peugeot 306 2.0 XSi 8v Ph1. The Escort was great on fuel economy and ride comfort, but lousy on passing MOTs, understeer like crazy, noisy tractor engine (tappets needed adjusting constantly), build quality was terrible & could even bend the doors with your bare hands! Brake drums & h/b cable always seizing up. LOL!
@HypaGames
@HypaGames 12 лет назад
@EgoShredder Sounds like you had a bad experience lol. Luckily I haven't had any problems with mine yet, been though 3 MOT's with no advisories and had 30,000 miles of trouble free motoring, mileage is almost at 50,000 (16.1.12) runs very well and with great fuel economy as you say, I'll continue to look after it and plan to take it well over 100,000 over the next few years ! I have a Honda Prelude now also so the Escort is garaged between 1st March - 1st November. Ty to all for comments :-)

Cracking car mate! Very nice indeed. Bodywork and engine look mint! Also nice to see it's totally standard, without the daft exhaust and other aftermarket crap you usually see on them.
@HypaGames
@HypaGames 11 лет назад
I have done my best to care for the paintwork, its only the roof which has faded due to being out for 5 years, I plan to have the car re sprayed in the future anyway with more coats and a much better finish than from the factory which is very thin in my opinion! The arches could definitely do with some wax oil, they are not really rusting just the paint flaking off a little, but also planning to have these restored later on when money isn't so tight!

@ClassicGamesRoom I bought my three year old Escort with 54,000 on the clock and it had been a hire car, with a deep rip in the back seat and rust / bubbling paint around the rear wiper joint. Actually it did sail through plenty of MOTs as well, including one year when I was the MOT inspectors assistant by accident! He was on his own, so I stood at the rear saying 'yep the light came on fine', while I tapped the rear indicators so they came on (crap connections of Ford lights). Memories lol!

Funny you mention it, I literally just went out for a drive in her! I keep it in storage mostly these days, it has a bit a patina these days, bit of rust here and there and faded paint due to being outside and mileage over 70,000 now. Only changes are RS Turbo alloys and suspension kit. Apart from that all original really and still runs a treat and never let me down even on long journeys. Will never sell it, my first car, sentimental. Thanks for watching :-)
