Steven Cooke wrote:Very nice indeed, they weren't that good when new. As for Jimmock and Blue900Z1B's comments on Liverpool I can tell you both that when my Mk3 got nicked from Bootle it was found within 2hrs. at West Derby and yes------------------ it was an empty shell on bricks. :(


So Scousers can strip them QUICKER than Kas can restore them.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Thanks for the comments chaps,even Ruddy :D
I have done about 50 miles in it so far and i am really pleased with it.
It is amazingly quiet and refined really and whilst not the fastest thing in the world it can more than keep up with the flow of traffic on dual carraigeways and motorways.
Even after all the progress in modern cars the pin sharp steering and rifle bolt like gearchange on this old Escort makes it a joy to drive. :D
