Ford Escort 55 1.8 Diesel Van For Sale

[Elton]

As posted preciously on non-fishing:

 

£995

 

W reg. Red (Ex Royal Mail). Just over 35k miles, so hardly run in.

 

This is a 1.8 Escort 55 diesel, non-turbo. Extremely economical.

 

MOT until May (never needed any work to get through any MOT in the years I've had it) and a couple of months tax.

 

It has a few dings, courtesy of Postman Pat, but nothing serious.

 

Only problem I ever had was a flat battery, so a new one was recently fitted.

 

Starts first time.

 

I had a towbar profesionally fitted. This was only used once, to tow an empty trailer!

 

Honestly, the only reason I'm selling it is because I'm stuck indoors when looking after the kids and need to get a 'normal' car. It is the perfect fishing wagon and has been so handy over the years, despite me hardly putting any miles on it!

 

I'm based near Ipswich. Please contact me via the forum if you're interested.

My wife's going to test drive a Ford Focus Titanium in red tomorrow, do you think she'd notice if we swapped vehicles, yours is £11,000 cheaper.

It's got four wheels. She's a woman. She'll never notice the difference

Until she puts petrol in it.

How much to tax something like that?

What mpg can one expect to get?

Are you open to offers?

Don't get too excited!!!!

I thought you said it had a new battery?? :D

[Alan Roe]

SOLD!

[Guest tigger]

SOLD!

 

 

Have you got it Alan ?

I had one for a few years and it was a corker only prob is the insurance is steep with it being a commercial motor.

[Elton]

Tigger,

 

These days, you can get non-commercial insurance for vans. That van was cheap as chips to insure.
