Priced to sell due to owner’s unforeseen injury: 42,000kms & immaculate
After some time in the shadows of its older brother, the MkII Escort is finally getting some of the serious collector appreciation.
Of course, for most, it’s the two-doors that are top of the wishlist, and in RS specification; but four-doors offer plenty of flexibility as a regular driver, and are often much cheaper to buy in to.
They were even assembled locally, in Homebush NSW; available as a panel van as well as the two and four-doors.
Engines included a bevy of four-pots, from 1.3lt, 1.6lt to 2.0lt units.
This 1978 Ford MkII Escort Sedan bears its original 1.6lt engine mated to a four-speed manual.
It presents near immaculate with just 42,000kms on it since new; backed up by log booked servicing since ’78, and all receipts!
Original spare wheel is still in the boot, and remains unmodified.
It looks like an absolute plum, and a great find with such low mileage and originality!
The seller has priced the car keenly, at $15,000 (negotiable); unfortunately forced to sell due to “unforeseen permanent injury”.
The car is based in Victoria, and you can check out the full listing here!
