Lovely car in such good condition. Do you know his plans for it? Would be nice to keep it original but would also make a great base for something special

What a great example, and a very fortunate find. I hope that he plans on just maintaining it as is.

Thanks for the larger pics. It's immaculate. I'd be buying a 'Carcoon' for it  http://www.detailking.com.au/category65_1.htm

I admire people who look after their cars in tis fashion.
What a great legacy to be able to show younger generations what cars of 30+ years ago looked like when "new".

my missus wants a new suzuki swift or mazda 3 , cause she loves the green colour, if something like that came up, id make sure she could do without air con and power windows. and the colour would sell it.
you just hope cars like this go too good homes,
would love to know purchase price but it would just make me jealous..

That is one amazing Mk1 [:u]
And as much as I like a modded Escort, something as neat and original as that should be preserved in its current state. Its just too good to go messing with.
Did you have a link to bigger pics? Or can you email them to me? It really does look amazing! Is the car still in Tassie? I'd love to see it at a show somewhere around the traps.
