Barn Find Of The Day – 1971 Ford Escort MK1 2-door

There’s not a great deal of detail on this listing, and it appears to be missing its engine, but we couldn’t let a 2-door MK1 Escort slip by without a mention!

It would appear that this car may have been used in competition, or a previous owner has gone for the ‘look’, judging by the roll cage.

DVLA have this listed as a 2800cc motor and it appears to have been off the road since 1999.

Further details are a bit sketchy, so we’d advise you to click on the link or photo below to see all the photos and then contact the seller for more information. From what we can see, she doesn’t look in bad shape, compared to many that get dragged out of storage.

Think you could get this one roadworthy again?

    This Daihatsu Hi-Jet auction result genuinely surprised us. Not because we didn’t like it. Quite the opposite. We absolutely loved this tiny Japanese 4×4 when we spotted it at Anglia Car Auctions. But with a £9,000 to £11,000 estimate, we wondered whether its sheer quirkiness might make it a difficult thing to value. We were […]
