Awesome motor mate, my first car in 2017 was a 1990 mk4 escort 1.3, had exactly the same interior as yours, believe it or not, its the rarest mk4 interior you can get as only came on some 4 door cars! If you ever want to sell that interior id be a buyer!
Ah really didnt realise that, but then again it could only have came with certain exterior colours 🙂 no would never break a car as solid as this. Whole car is for sale though 👍🏻
Fab car and video there chap, cheers! I had the same in the early nineties on a 'D' reg in Chesnut with the same interior colour as yours. Alas mine being an '87 model year didn't get the power amp to the stereo. As a side note your reg F***MAR is a Ford fleet/press car reg number, my Dad had a Granada Scorpio at the same time and it's reg was also 'F***MAR' too. Looking forward to the next episode mate 🙂
@Retro Ratchet My current long term daily driver is a 1988 'F' 2.9i V6, Granada Mk3 Scorpio in Satin Gold with a Mace (tan) Leather interior. A fab car to drive, a really comfortable old barge.
Later mk4s weren't quite so bad for rot as the earlier d plate cars which were rotten at 6 yrs old still quite a few around with good battery trays mines a h plate and it's a never been welded shell
Absolutely mate, got some std wheels and trims, that will be on the nxt vid, (infact u will clock them sitting in the vid i put out today). What makes these worse is that they are actually capri ones, so only 13s

Thats really interesting info mate, would be awesome to actually find it in literature somewhere!

I had a blue 2ltr Sierra F168 MAR
It’s looking good. I had a 1990 Orion version of this. Lovely cars. My interior was blue but I’ve always had a soft spot for beige interiors 😂
Yeah the colour coded interiors of the 80s were fab!
Aren't you meant to disconnect the negative first then the positive on the battery?
With old escorts , make sure regularly that the shocks havent gone cause when one does its fatal
Like you won't even know until one day itsbraining and you go around a bend
Will do mate next time im under it

Yeah seen a few late ones advertised that also look good nick,
Looks good especially for that age. Mind you, the oil will have helped. Sometimes theres a positive from a leak.😂
Haha alas it didnt seem to help the rover 🤣
That car is in good condition for 25 years ago. Surely that car has been kept inside someone's bedroom for the last 30 years.
Yeah the underside is amazing, only really the bottom of the arches that need attention!
Bedroom yes! (from a converted integral garage (but keeping the up and over door))..😁
A little bit oily underneath but that’s probably why it’s so good….
Crickey It still looks like some 10 year old cars!
Get rid of those awful XR2 wheels! they spoil an otherwise beautiful and original car!
