Ford Escort.
What to Check Before Buying.
The Ford Escort was a British motoring icon, produced from 1968 to 2000 across six generations. Originally designed as a practical family car, it evolved into everything from a rally legend to a first-time buyer favourite. Most surviving examples are now older vehicles requiring careful inspection. Rust, suspension wear, and electrical gremlins are common in ageing Escorts, so thorough pre-purchase checks are essential.
