    Default 1957 ford escort estate

    rescued it from the scrap man, been sat in a garage for 40 years, tottally original, luckily got down and bought it just before he came to pick it up

    Im not putting this in the forsale section nor am i putting a price as i dont want wasters or people who will let it rot away, will only sell to someone who will restore it like it deserves, would make a fab hotrod tho, chasis is good as is 90% of the body but sills are knackard, what do you people recon is the best route to go to sell it to the right person? rod sites? classic restorer's? also how do you price something like this when i cant find another forsale in any state or condition??? dont have a v5 but do have reg number.

    pictures will follow when ive had chance to move it to its new home after the weekend

    they didn't start making them till the late sixties.

    escort with knackered sills..... there will be a lot more rust underneath.

    if it is really old, the reg no might not still be valid. they changed the v5 system a good while ago, but it may not be centrally registered.
