    Its a 5dr, it hast been started in like 10 yrs so id say theres a bit of engine work to check it over before someone starts it

    It can't be a 5 door. 1st Escort 5 door was the MkIII - c.1981

    Anywhere near me on the Curragh?

    Should be worth a bit, especially if original but depending on the extent of rust. Pics would definitely help.

    hmm, if its a 2door, its worht silly to crazy money, even the 5 door is worth a bit,


    but fords rust bad so a fully inspection is needed. to me shes worth upto 2k, mint around double... but tbh, i wouldnt give a shade over 1500...


    plenty aroudn to choose from, im not age picky...

    hardly a 5dr. The first 5 dr ford made was probably the sierra.

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    I know you're in Kildare, but would the Escort be in the Clontarf area by any chance?

    Aye,that they were,and the mk2 was the same as the mk1,bar the very front,even the doors were mk1 items,wings for a mk2 estate are hard to come by!
