Hair Bear Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I'm curious about a car I used to own. It was a 1978 mk2 Escort, bought at auction unregistered. I was told it was ex-army at Thatcham, and the key tag had 05GX38 on it. I'd love to know where it lived and what it was used for. Any help appreciated. Rob.

Richard Farrant Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Most units had one of these cars for a run-around, the workshops I was at had one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hair Bear Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Thanks, really wish I still had it. I suspect there's very few left now as - like mine - they probably weren't recognised for what they were. Poor pic but the only one I can find! Interesting mirror arrangement. It came like that, I've no idea why. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
