Whalley, Lancashire
1982 Ford Escort 1.1 L 1100 cc 5 door hatchback 0nly 2017 miles
Only 2017, yes 2017 miles, in totally original specification and time warp condition 

Registration: NNL 36X
Chassis:  SFAAXXBBAACY80833
Odometer: 2017
Transmission: Manual
MOT: Exempt

No Reserve

  . One owner from new until 2012
  . Original Ford rubber mats front and rear
  . Ford main Dealer number plates front and rear
  . Original Ford radio 

Outside

We believe the paintwork to be original and on the whole is very good, that said there are a number of what could be best described as "scabs" of surface corrosion all over the car. These have been treated to prevent spread or any penetrative corrosion and we feel it adds to the story of the car. All panels are straight and dent free and all four doors open and close as if the vehicle was factory fresh. The hub cap from the off side rear wheel is with the car but will not stay in place. 

Inside 

We urge any serious bidder to come and view the car and take in the smell of 1982 Ford's when you stick your head in, it takes you right back. Wonderfully basic, no wear at all and everything is in factory fresh condition. 

Mechanicals

Upon removing from long term storage, the engine and mechanicals were treated to a refresh which included new auxiliary belts and fluids. The car runs and drives as expected for a car with such low mileage, although there is some squealing coming from the auxiliary belts we suspect the water pump may need some looking at. It looks as though car was treated to a corrosion protection product to the underside, engine bay and door bottoms when new.

History
 

We are advised that the car was supplied new by Ford main dealers Heaton Motor company of Consett, County Durham to a Midwife who lived locally. The car was used briefly until her unfortunate death when it was laid up by the family until 2012 when DVLA records show it went into fresh ownership. Sadly, there is very little other documentation with the car.

Our Opinion
 

This is a unique opportunity to acquire what is quite possibly the lowest mileage MK3 Escort in existence. Inspection of the car clearly shows its minimal mileage is correct, it is on the button, will carry a fresh MOT and is ready to go.
Lovely to see a surviving example of the 1.1 L variant , as most of the lesser Escort models were run into the ground and not preserved. A genuine time warp car and we love it. Find another. 

Please note there is no V5c currently with the Escort though we are able to give an undertaking that we will assist the new owner with obtaining one as a condition of the sale.
