For sale is my dads 1300e he's owned this car since 1982 it has 3 previous keepers and my dad is the 4th
The story goes
When he brought it he had many enjoyable years from it before taking it off the road in 1990 to rebuild it he replaced
Front kick panels
Strut tops
Strut turrets
Front panel
Slam panel
Inner and out sills
Back panel
Rear arches replaced
Full respray and put back together for shows and back on the road in the end of 1991
The car then got stolen in 1993 and within 2 hours he was lucky and got he car back minus cibies and alloys the car was then used for a few months but never felt the same.
It was then parked up in the garage and forgotten about and over time the car had stuff put on it me and my brother had banged in to it and dents and scratches started to appear still with lack of interest it just stopped there.
Then in 1998/1999 my father started to sort it out taking it apart etc.
But then he went though a not very nice divorce which dragged on for several years in that time not much really got done
So know we get to know he thought about sorting it out last year and in the end felt he had to much emotional interest in it so went and brought another mk1 escort and now has decide to try and sell her
He has spent the last few days going around it and sorting bits out and this is a summery of the car
