my first car I had whilst I was doing my VW Beetle up, was a Mark 1 Escort, 1300E purple metallic, with black vinyl roof and walnut dash.... it was lovely...
When I finished my Beetle, I had that for almost 9 years.. and he was lovely.. My dad taught me how to weld and friends taught me how to do my own servicing - except the points, I could never get the hang of that... and although I used to hate it in Winter when ice formed on the INSIDE of his windscreen, I loved that car.....
Very sad when he went, but I traded it in for a bike you see - Honda Bros 400 at the time!!!
