UP FOR SALE IS MY RARE 1973 MK ESCORT PANEL VAN
THESE VANS ARE INCREDIBLY RARE NOWADAYS, PARTICULARLY SIDE PANELLED ONES AS MOST HAD SIDE GLASS TO ELIMINATE THE SHOCKING BLIND-SPOT.
IT IS VERY HARD TO FIND ONES THAT HAVEN'T HAD REAR DAMAGE OR SUFFERED FROM THE DREADED RUST BUG. THESE WERE WORK VEHICLES AND MOST HAVE HAD TOUGH LIFE. THIS ONE HAS NOT ESCAPED THE RAVAGES OF AGE OR WEAR, BUT IS FAIRLY SOLID AND WOULD MAKE GREAT START FOR RESTO.
I SOLD ONE ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO AND REGRETTED IT. STARTED LOOKING AGAIN ABOUT YEARS AGO TO NO AVAIL, UNTIL THIS ONE CAME UP LOCALLY.I PAID TOP DOLLAR FOR IT AS DIDN'T EXPECT TO FIND ANOTHER ONE. HOWEVER AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, ONLY MONTH OR SO LATER WHILE LOOKING FOR BARN DOORS, FOUND AN EVEN BETTER ONE. HENCE REASON FOR SALE.
I LISTED THE VAN ON FACEBOOK AND RECIEVED DEPOSIT WITHIN 24HR, HOWEVER THE BUYER HAS GONE AWOL AND IS NOT ANSWERING HIS PHONE. CAN'T STORE THE VAN ANY LONGER SO IT HAS TO GO BY NEXT MONTH (OCT 16) WHEN THE STORAGE FEES ARE DUE. WILL ONLY RELEASE THE VAN ONCE RECEIVE FULL PAYMENT OR $300/MONTH STORAGE FEE WILL APPLY AFTER THAT DATE.
RUNNING GEAR HAS BEEN UPRATED TO MK 2, 2.0LT, GEARBOX AND DIFF. ITS HAS BEEN CONVERTED TO GAS SO YOU WILL PROBABLY NEVER HAVE TO FILL IT UP AGAIN. HUGE TANK IN THE BACK SO MAY NOT BE SUITED TO LOAD-LUGGER UNLESS TO CONVERT IT BACK TO PETROL ONLY.
APART FROM THE USUAL OIL LEAKS EXPERIENCED WITH PINTOS, ENGINE APPEARS STRONG. HAS PLENTY OF POKE AND DUE TO ITS LIGHT WEIGHT, YOU WONT HAVE ANY PROPLEMS KEEPING UP WITH MODERN TRAFFIC (UNLIKE THE ORIGINAL 1.3)
BODY WISE IT WILL NEED SOME WORK BUT COMPARED TO MOST ITS PRETTY GOOD. YOU COULD PROBABLY CLEAN IT UP AND GET RWC (NOT SUPPLIED), BUT MY PLAN WAS TO DO FULL STRIP DOWN AND RESTO SO WASN'T TOO CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONDITION. LOTS MINOR RUST SPOTS, BUT NO GAPING HOLES THAT YOU USUALLY FIND WITH VANS.
SEATS HAVE BEEN REMOVED TO GO INTO MY OTHER VAN, HOWEVER WILL SUPPLY SOME GOOD CONDITION FACTORY BROWN SEATS. WILL TAKE BETTER PICS THIS ARVO ON MY PHONE SO CAN TXT TO BUYERS.FINAL PIC IS WHY AM SELLING. OBVIOUSLY NOT FOR SALE.
BEST TO GIVE ME CALL AND COME LOOK, RATHER THAN ME PRATTLE ON. CALL GLENN 0478 696 572.
CAR IS LOCATED IN FOUNTAIN GATE IN STORAGE FACILITY SO APPOINTMENT ONLY DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS.
SOLD AS IS WHERE IS. BUYER TO ORGANISE OWN TRANSPORT FROM FOUNTAIN GATE, VIC 3805
RESERVE IS THERE TO PREVENT THE TYRE-KICKERS. NOT FUSSED IF IT REACHES OR NOT, AS LONG AS FIND GENUINE BUYER WHO APPRECIATES HOW HARD THESE ARE TO COME BY.
I HAVE HAD OFFERS FROM THE UK VIA FACEBOOK, (THESE FETCH ROUGHLY DOUBLE WHAT THEY FETCH HERE) MAY CONSIDER SHIPPING OVERSEAS IF CAN'T RECOVER MOST OF MY COSTS LOCALLY. AM HEADING TO ENGLAND LATER THIS YEAR AND HAVE TO SHIP MY CAPRI ANYWAY, SO THIS MIGHT BE GOING WITH IT IF LOCAL BUYER CAN'T BE FOUND.
THANKS FOR LOOKING.On 27-Sep-17 at 07:48:25 AEST, seller added the following information:I have taken more photos close up of the rust areas. If you call me can email or txt these to you as can't add anymore pics to the listing.
Cheers Glenn
