Fully Restored 1972 Mk1 Ford Escort Mexico Recreation

1972 Ford Escort MK1 Mexico Recreation finished in stunning Daytona Yellow

MOT & Tax exempt.
 

This car was restored in 2019 and has only covered around 1200 miles since then having only been driven on dry days, garaged and kept off the road during the winter.

One of the best parts about this car is the Harris Performance Engines 1700 X-Flow engine producing approx 150bhp. This engine will keep on revving and revving and sounds fantastic. This engine was over £6000. Huge waiting lists for these engines - super sought after!

This is a lovely car that turns heads and always commands attention when out on the road. The engine is fantastic and will drive along at 30mph perfectly happy or just keep revving. With the twin 40 Webbers and HPE exhaust it sounds fantastic. The gearbox is tight and selects all gears as it should with the clutch having a nice bite to it and not snappy at all.

Braking performance is taken care of by 2 master cylinders for the front and rear braking system. A nice positive feel on the pedal giving you confidence.
 

The interior is in great condition with the half seats extremely comfortable, these also tip forward to allow access to the rear seats. Windows and door locks all work as they should. The deep dish steering wheel provides a nice driving position. All gauges on the dash work correctly and the engine holds excellent oil pressure.
 

Classic cars and in particular Fords are a great investment with prices only going up.
