not your usual TS project, and defiantly a long way from a fire breathing BDA escort, but to be honest if i want a civilized trip out with the wife a hotted up escort isnt the thing, and you wouldnt dare park it anywhere for fear of it being gone when you got back to it, Cortina and Granadas are no better in terms of low lifes stealing them, and they all cost a bucket load of money compared to this P6.
i bought it blind to break for spares about 2 years ago, it had been in a lock up since 2002. i paid about £800 for it, and its got a genuine 38,000 miles on the clock! can you imagine picking up an old ford at that mileage for that money?
it looks rough, a 1980s respray in cellulose means the paint is dead flat, but mechanically its in good order to get it up and running it only needed the points filing some fuel and a battery. all i had to do to mot it was overhaul the brake calipers and change the brake flex hoses
