Ford Escort 1600 Sport. RHD Import from South Africa with all tax and duty paid. UK registration has been applied for. This is a good shell and is very solid but after being repainted its been clobbered back together hastily and needs sorting out. Does start run and drive but needs attention before being used properly.

Bodywork.

Export spec 1600 sport shell with similar strengthening on the front end to our RS models. Very solid underneath and all painted bodycolour. No nasty patches. Paintwork up top is perfectly useable but paint has cracked on front corner of bonnet and will need looking at. Evidence of a bit filler in door bottoms and lower quarters . Will make a tidy example after its all been sorted out.

Mechanics.

1600 crossflow engine which starts and runs. Engine sounds ok. Brakes, clutch and gearbox all work but gearstick will need replaced. Front engine crossmember has been bolted on with the wrong bolts but we have ordered a set of group 4 bolts and chassis tubes which will come with the car. It will need a proper good checkover before being used.

Interior.

Front Seats fitted with a mish mash of bolts and need a serious scrub. Back seat looks ok. Dashtop has been recovered badly . Carpet is aftermarket and not very good.

Wheels.

4 Spoke Alloys which have been refurbed with good 175/70/13 tyres.

Our thoughts.

Good shell but needs sorting out, but could make a good example. You are welcome to come and see the car and we have a ramp so you can look underneath. Delivery can be arranged if required. Please ask for a delivery quote or contact us with any questions. Thanks for looking.
