Havent seen a mk3 escort in ages, if you need anything theres a local mk4 cabrio in what looks to be the same colour on gumtree at the minute, I dont know how many parts are inter changeable on these.

I saw a nice Essex car in Bangor a few weeks back...white mk4 cabrio with white leather! They were getting told off for parking in a disabled spot in the shopping centre :laughing:

No it's totally original apart from the bonnet which I replaced. Also had the wheels refurbed and that's about it. Been waxoiled from new which really shows

Cheers gonna b spending all day tomorrow cleaning her. Got the Audi remapped and stuck in a pipercross panel filter. Also fitted a control box for the roof called a smart top. Means ya can put the roof up and down usin the key. Very handy for the weather we've been having.

Love these, anyone else remember Dempsey and Makepeace?

Parked up beside a silver one of these in B&Q in Lincoln just last week and brought me back to when I was a kid watching Glynis Barber ragging hers around London.

Most will be too young to remember this on TV in the 80's, but she looks well for 51....
