Originally supplied new by Calderford Motor Co Ltd in Wakefield, this 1997 Ford Escort Ghia Cabriolet 1.8 presents as a wonderfully preserved example of a now increasingly rare British convertible. Displaying just 29,789 miles from new, it comes with a full service history, including a stamped service booklet showing maintenance up to 28,731 miles.
Finished in a classic 1990s colour scheme, the car is specified with desirable factory equipment such as an electric folding roof, power steering, electric windows, electric mirrors and front fog lights. The interior remains in excellent order and is complemented by the inclusion of the original tonneau cover.
The vendor informs us that the Escort has had just four previous keepers, each of whom has clearly contributed to the careful preservation of the car. With its low mileage, strong provenance, and genuine condition, this Escort Cabriolet is a fantastic opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts alike — and a nostalgic throwback to a golden era of Ford motoring.
In summary:
- Full service history with original stamped service booklet
- Low mileage example: just 29,789 miles from new
- Factory features include electric roof, power steering, and tonneau cover
- A charming and increasingly hard-to-find modern classic, offered here at no reserve.
