Anyone into classic cars

[Y282]

Still fast enough to have a good crash with, as my dad used to say

I would like a nippy corrosion free runabout. I have had the nippy, but not the corrosion free!! .

I ended up with it by accident. Bloke at work was getting rid and needed a car for my partner while we looked for something else for her. I took it in to run until mot then scrap but once i saw arches, sills and underneath i fell in love with it.

It’s tiny in traffic, feels like i’m sat in a kid’s pedal car.

Thought “LOO” was familiar, one I did work on and get to drive…bonus points are available for spotting differences to the “production” version.

No pop out rear windows.

Good spot (I never noticed it, even back then)

Black plastic not colour coded.

Production Escort Cosworth’s were a bit of a mix depending on trim level I assume, eg door handles being black or body coloured.

Headlights go into the wings.
Sierra floorpan.

Well they were standard for the Escort Cosworth

No jacking point covers?

Another good spot.
