That's in fantastic condition!

Driving that, I'd keep looking in my rear-view mirror in case I was being followed by Regan and Carter...

Shame it's a white 1.3. When I was at primary school my mates dad had the Ghia model in metallic purple with the square headlamps. I was jealous as hell as we had a metallic bronze Mk1 escort. If I had the choice now it would be the Escort all the way.

The Ghia had some vinyl on it didn't it? I remember them in bronze, like the Capris. God I love Fords from that era.

I remember these cars well, my dad had an estate one at some point, they are beautiful cars, and looking better every time I see them.

Vinyl roof and Rostyle wheels.

I think the back between the rear lights was black instead of body coloured.

Was that a piece of plastic or something rather than just black paint?

Just checked things out and it was a GXL he had.

Apparently there are only about 1000 Mk3's left worldwide so that car looks like a bit of a bargain now.

Crikey I would find that hard to believe, but I suppose they have stats.

I see a fair few up here in the Highlands, often polished nice and sitting outside crofts.
