SUMMARY
On offer from a Private Collection, this rare 1600 Sport dates from March 1980 and remains delightfully original.
DESCRIPTION
Built at Fords Halewood plant in 1980 using the last of the heavy-duty RS shells, this 1600 Sport was then shipped to South Africa.
Having just two owners in South Africa, the car had covered just 57,000 miles when purchased by the previous owner in 2011 via Montescorts and was described at that point as being in "totally original condition". The Sport was enjoyed and clocked up at further 35,000 miles. Purchased by our vendor in August 2020 for his Collection. The Escort has been serviced regularly, and rolling road tuned. A letter on file from the Sporting Escort Owners Club confirms this is a AD chassis car dating from March 1980 and there are invoices on file for servicing, old MOTs, tax disc etc.
The car remains in very nice original order finished in Clifton Sands, an attractive shade of beige only available in South Africa, with a striking period interior!
