1968 FORD ESCORT VAN MKI

This very early Ford Escort MkI van was registered in August 1968 and has just two registered keepers recorded on its V5C. The vendor, who acquired it in January this year, tells us that the previous owner had it restored during 2013. Since then, the vendor has replaced its battery, regulator box, points, condenser, rotor arm, distributor head, leads, fuel pump, fuel pipes, carpet and had the steering wheel re-coated. All fluids have also been renewed. 

We are told that the Escort runs and drives, with the vendor not aware of any issues. Paperwork includes the V5C, the list of parts fitted or replaced by the vendor during this year, work carried out during the restoration, and other recent invoices. There's also an MoT certificate from November 2023, at 70,903 miles. The odometer now shows 70,931 miles. As an historic vehicle, the Ford is now exempt from annual testing.
