The Ford Escort was manufactured from 1968 to 2002. The first use of the Escort name was for a reduced specification version of the Ford Squire, a 1950s estate version of the Anglia 100E though this did not sell well by comparison to the other members of the 100E family. The Escort was revised in January 1995 (sixth generation) although it was still based on the previous model.

This example, owned by the present owner for the last 25 years, is the Ghia Cabriolet version of this popular marque and is presented in green with black interior. It comes with all documents including its original handbook, radio instruction manual and its original manufacturers sales brochure. The history file contains many receipts for all the work carried out on the car whilst in our client's ownership, including all MoT test certificates. Over time, both back and front plastic bumpers have been replaced owing to inconsiderate other drivers!! The front offside wing and door were replaced in circa 2014 after a van reversed into it! This was deemed as a Category D write off according to the HPI but the vendor has informed us that the repair work was carried out at considerable expense , as his insurance company at the time were not prepared to pay for it! The present owner put in a new clutch in 2023, brakes and new tyres were fitted all in the last two years. Consigned by James Good.
