I also had a 1600 Sport Mk.II - OES 916P - I think in the early 80's?

When we were Kids you either had an Escort or a Mini..I had a few mk2's including a 1600 sport and a mk1 1300 sport.I still love Escorts.
These cars still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!! :twisted:

Yes definitely a standard restoration Steve.I am told that signal amber is by far the most coveted colour for a MK2 Mexico.I am not one for deviating from standard anyway and especially with this car, that is fully documented from new,including the original bill of sale from Perrys of Finchley..
