😊😊Hello. as a Classic car owner already....after spending Five Years. restoring it Nut and Bolt. and many many hours and days.. it was a Labour of Love.. not gain. it was a Joy when it Started and Drove it out.... so when someone like me, is keen to find another Project.. for the same reason.. we see all these features showing these finds... where are they. so we can buy them for restoration..rather they just lay there and rot.. what a waste...

The MkII Escort last had a V5 change in 1999 but has been declared SORN so someone has had to have done that since 2005 (it had to be done annually up until then, it now stays until it's either sold, taxed or an address change). Looks incredibly clean considering it's been off the road since then!

Finding these old car sites in the middle of nowhere is so exciting to watch. You don't know what you're going to find, and I'm on the edge of my seat while watching. I'm pleased for you to discover unexpected vehicles out there. One car that sticks out to me is that Standard 10, so unbelievably incredible to see one of those, after all the time since they were rolled off the production line. Keep your car search up, and thank you for going to the trouble with your lady, to give us all great watching. Keep well and safe from brambles and nettles!

Great vid as always and would be awesome if you went back in winter in a few months when the nettles and overgrowth have died back to get a better look at whats actually there . The Escort is the most saddening as its very very salvageable and frustrating why someome would just leave them to rot BUT when they bought them they were most likely cheap runaround cars or even cars that needed work .
