Ford Escort MK5 1.6i Cabriolet - Fresh out of long term storage and with only 37,000 miles showing on the clock (NOTE : History lost but MOT's to back up this mileage, but cannot otherwise be proved). This very straight and basically rust free MK5 Escort Cabriolet benefits from being powered by the later to this model, 1.6 Injection Double Over Head Cam engine giving it spirited performance especially when coupled as it is, to Fords smooth to use 5 speed gearbox. Body work is very straight with only the odd minor mark here and there. Interior is excellent and comes with central locking and electric windows. The manually operated roof (less to go wrong) is in fair shape, no nasty holes but beginning to shrink with age (it has been on there for over 22 years!)And has one hole the size of a ball point pen tip. But is still water tight, presentable and useable. The car will be receiving a year's MOT prior to the auction date so all the mechanicals will be good as will all the electric, lights etc. Wheels and tyres are good with plenty of tread and no major kerbing. While still affordable the MK5 will be the next Escort to see prices rise as they are now old enough to carry the label of "Retro" to the masses of people whose Mum or Dad had one when they were kids and low mileage good condition examples are few and far between.

Estimate £800 to £1200
