I may not have it by then, it takes a month to travel, and the guy I'm getting it from has to get it to the port in Seattle, oh and then I need to register it, get number plates etc! Thanks for sorting the pics, I love it!

Well if not then am sure there will other opportunities! Looks incredible. You should start a thread on its journey as it moves over to and lives here in the UK.

Good idea, I'll ask for the current owner, sorry ex owner
to take some pics as he takes it to the port !
It's worth doing. Not in the same league but when the guy that bought my old 335i to export to NZ with him, he literally drove it from my house to the port and emailed me photos of the journey over the coming weeks. Including a shot of the container ship arriving in the bay just before he picked it up. Still in touch today and get random shots of it on the other side of the world!Darren Slone said:Good idea, I'll ask for the current owner, sorry ex owner

That's great!
The guy I'm getting it from is a collector, his wife has told him he needs to sell 5 cars, an e type coupe, 3 Austin Healeys, 2 100/4's, a 3000 and the 240, whilst closing the deal I said if I could buy it I'd send him pics from next years Le Mans Classic outside the Chateau where we stay, he said he'd like that

I'll be grinning for quite a while, thanks for the kind words

Theyre a rare beast I'd have thought, wonder if there's a site for them, bubble arch Escorts have gone through the roof

You are never an ex-owner
That is a great looking car though, especially when kept in that condition
Haha
I'll endevour to keep it like that, I used to polish the brake pipes on my old one

They were the ultimate fanny magnet when i left school in mid 80s , a local spiv had one with the twin circle headlight conversion done on his white car & he pulled every time he ventured out in it , , i bought a Renault 5 Gordini to be different
My mate had a white one, 85 iirc, with some form of Motorsport decals on it, yellow, and grey I think, similar thing, pulled up, in the boozer for 1/2hr and left with a fine young girl in his arm, pi$$ed me right off :lol:
I could sell the ///M pocket some cash and have this in the garage.

No idea what's it worth though really and not a GT/E either.
