On my way into Darlington the other day I noticed two of these MK Escorts sat in a hotel car park, no idea what model they were but one is a soft top and the other has bonnet vents, not that bonnet vents mean much as they can be added later.

Both are white and look OK.

cheers lads,i honestly dont think i will use it though,i will get it all done and complete and setup then store it till summer then improve on stuff next winter, stuff im not happy with.

my head tells me to do the remaining jobs on it and use it all next year but my heart is telling me to buy a mk2 and store this:confused:

got a soft spot for these escorts.

my uncle had one identical to what pie posted when i was about 4 yrs old. i was banned from going in it after trying to climb out when the roof was down whilst doing 80mph on the motorway! car ended up gettin stolen.
