Are people fans of the FE in Gold? I must admit I am quite partial to it

A brave choice for the UK market, but it does work in the sunshine.

Certainly stands out!

 

[Waynem]

Not for me

 

[mb8388]

Me neither :shock:

 

[Salmonfisher]

I rather like it. An interesting number plate UK before plate change - wonder where this one has been hiding.

 

[Mondeoman]

It looks like a left hand drive to me, so a factory car.

This has been hiding I'm sure, at Whitley JLR, being used by a manager, it's a prototype hence the plate.

Don't like it!

Much nicer variants available. Maybe more suited to the Middle East.

 

[Stagman]

Looks very much like the colour of the Fiesta 1300S I had back in 1978, but gold, bronze and brown were popular back then. It would be brave these days, and a step too far for me!

 

[Habxxx]

I doubt it would be that popular come resale....something to consider perhaps?

Thanks for the flash back Stagman, the fat black stripe with the S, and that interior, no... Not me, my brother had one... Thought he was a rally cross driver from the Dicke Davies days of sport on Saturday morning ( got that tune playing in my head now!!!) :lol: I had a bit more class.. RS 1600i escort, yeah!!! Worth a bloody mint nowadays,think I sold it for about £1100 in px for RS turbo DOH!! Bet we all have car we wished we had kept?

 

[Stagman]

I came very close to trading the S in for a mark 1 XR2 - how many of those do you see these days? Unfortunately family intervened and I finished up with an Escort 1600GL!

 

[Jags cat]

Family with me too!!, ended up in a Sierra estate....Ghia of course!! we
all have standards to maintain you know :lol:

 

[Stagman]

I forgot to mention Practical Classics featured a restoration of an RS1600i last month - they valued it at around £12k. If you're into 70s and 80s fast Fords there's a garage on the A370 south of Weston-Super-Mare which had a few Escorts in the showroom the last time I went past. I keep meaning to stop, but haven't had the time yet!
