1994 escort mk5a 1.4 cvh (injection not carb) LX Rhapsody (quite unusual being Orion shaped) with 19,000 miles from new with a few old mots to back the mileage up.
Doesn't come with much paperwork but comes with a photocopy of a dvla vehicle history file which includes all the details of the previous owners and the car order form from new
Nice car and quite rare with that kind of mileage, has a few paint work issues but that's the only thing that lets the car down
DRIVERS DOOR HANDLE MISSING IN SOME PHOTOS BECAUSE IT WAS BROKEN BUT HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH A BLUE ONE
I'm still waiting for the log book to turn up but a full receipt will be given upon sale - the car will be on sorn but if you tax and insure it you can drive it away
I've only given it a quick whizz over with a hose and dried it, would probably come up nicer if you polished it
good points
MOT until the 28th of April 2016 - only a couple of months but i don't see why it wouldn't go through the next mot with out any trouble considering the condition
19,773 miles from new with old mot's to back the mileage up
1.4 cvh runs nice and quiet and smooth as is the gearbox (engine still has all original motorcraft hoses in good working condition)
good on fuel and comes with almost half a tank
rocker cover gasket replaced
interior very nice just one small slight nick on the drivers seat (picture in extra photos) steering wheel and gear knob have minimal wear
everything works apart from the radio as i don't have the code
bumpers in good condition no cracks, bumper trim in the rear bumper has come out a little so needs clipping back in places
4 new floor mats
not so good points
bonnet roof and boot lid have paint crazing, the roof being the worst - this is the only thing that lets the car down really
passenger side doors have micro blistering under the paint on the top of the doors for some reason (ford paint was never great from the factory, they only did 1 thin coat at best)
drivers sill has 3 welding repairs on it - passenger side has 1 welding repair on it
has not been driven for a couple of weeks so the battery is a bit low on juice but the car starts up first time and runs so when driven the battery should charge up fine (cold start valve kicks in but the revs drop as the car warms up)
chrome strip is a bit tarnished on the door mouldings and a couple have gone a bit wavy and some paint has chipped off
