That's stunning and it's making me feel very nostalgic. Dad had the Mk1 in 4.2 guise, sable brown possibly??, when i was 8/9 and i remember that car fondly.Went to the lakes in that car and Scotland.

That one i believe is very rare having the carburettor instead of the fuel injection system and therefore supposed to be desirable.An amazing car Ken and good find on your behalf.

One more thought, i would much rather have one of these than the silly priced mk2 escorts. By comparison the ford feels like a matchbox.

lovely , i am looking for a xjc to stick my 3.8 xk engine in,, and do a steed avengers copy,,

Very nice

Many ads make the same basic error - how can a car that's had a major repaint be described as 'totally original'? Whatever many positive points it may have, it ain't that.
