Description

  • First registered in the UK on 11/05/1972, this desirable Mk1 Escort Mexico has been with our vendor for approximately 16 months and used sparingly during his ownership
  • Accompanied by a detailed history file containing numerous invoices relating to an earlier restoration, which appears to have been carried out from around 2014 onwards
  • In April 2026, the engine was removed and all oil seals and gaskets were replaced, with a new clutch fitted at the same time. The starter motor has also been reconditioned
  • Our vendor reports that the engine is responsive, and indicates oil pressure in the 70–80 range when hot. He recently completed a 127-mile round trip in the car without issue, stopping only for fuel
  • The front seats have very recently been fully refurbished, including shot-blasting and powder-coating the seat frames and fitting new seat covers, which remain beneath their protective plastic coverings
  • Showing seven former registered keepers, our vendor estimates that approximately £4,000 has been invested in the Mexico during his 16-month ownership, in addition to the expenditure represented within the detailed history file
