Its always best to be honest, what you're looking at here isn't a concourse 1973 Mk1 never driven, garaged for years, without a mark on it, that's boring, this Mk1 is a 500bhp race built and bred Mk1 Escort (road legal - just!) and it's showing a couple of signs of being races cosmetically, a small graze on the rear arch and back panel and front edge of the bonnet all from close contact racing - bit its really only a few hundred pounds if you want to fix it all - we think it gives the car its race culture!
The car is located in dry storage in Didcot (Oxfordshire) and can be seen on appointment - We look forward to hearing from you
zonde dat ie RHD is, maar wat zal dat gaan en wat een geluid denk ik met die TVR race engine.
