1979 Ford Escort MK2

1979 Ford Escort – Full Rotisserie Build – Nitrous Blue Pearl
For sale is my 1979 Ford Escort, which has undergone an extensive, no-expense-spared full rotisserie restoration and custom build. The car started life as a completely original example before being fully stripped to a bare shell and professionally rebuilt to an exceptional standard.
The most time-consuming and costly stages of the build have been completed. The car is largely complete, with the main remaining items being the engine, gearbox, and some interior finishing components, allowing the next owner to tailor it exactly to their own specification.
