Looks great in purple! One of Ford's better efforts, the old MkI Escort - I'd have one.
In case anyone is wondering, the background music is a thing called "The Man in the White Suit" by multi-instrumentalist and former member of Manfred Mann, Mike Vickers. This is it, here: /watch?v=BlvJMwkA-qk&feature=related Maybe it should have been called: "The Woman in the Purple Escort!" :-)
My first car back in the day. It was the same colour as a prosthetic limb and sadly disintegrated in a low speed collision with a 24 hour recovery vehicle. True.
My first car back in 88 I think for around £700, or was that the insurance. Modded it a little but eventually got whacked up the back which was too costly to repair :(
I had a mint 1300E back when I first passed my test in 1990, Was my second car and I wrote it off ..... twice. Left it in dads garage intending to respray (was all original paint), got bored and sold it for £200. If only I had held onto it :-(
this was my first car i bought one brand new in 1974 it was £1195, i got it for £1150 it was the dearest escort at the time ,some one pinched my front spotlights after two weeks,my fav car of all time,i can still smell the newness of it,my brother bought it off me after 6 years and when he was in hospital someone pinched it off the hospital car park
Unfortunately the Escort wasn't renowned for security, unless there was a rottweiler inside, or a 'kill-switch' fitted - I heard at one point with the Mk2 models, there were only five key combinations!
As for driving lights, I have a set on my Mk2 Escort, which have never been tampered with in the 7 years I've had the car! (A colleague had one when new with drivinglights, which he usually had to remove unless on trips, due to them being 'sought after' by theives)...

I had one for my first car tried to make it looks like the rs200. Sold it to my mate and only got paid half the money he agreed on.

Security was laughable! We had a fleet of 18 MK1 Escorts in the '70's and they all had the same boot key!
