wow, great posting!

I had an electric blue one PVX191K in '75, anyone seen it?

@GuIfstreamGV Hi, that Escort was last on the road, well, taxed until December 1993, it is down as having a 2000cc engine, so after you had it someone must have put a pinto in it, looks like it may have been scrapped or may be sitting somewhere waiting to be renovated!

I really miss my old escorts :-(

@MagicAyrtonforever You know you need to get another one and terrorise the French countryside again!! Did you ever roll or fall off that 2cv chassis hot rod???

@mainman2999 Observant man!!! no I didn't quite manage to kill myself!.. rolled a fiat 128 in that field though!! but I was more worried about losing my precious fuel from the tank!
