Ford Escort MK2 Huntsman - 1 of only 350!

[@scottwalker4546]

The other car in the Huntsman brochure is a Cortina Estate

[@philtucker1224]

@@scottwalker4546 I think they all had brown leather and check trim, (or am I thinking only of the Granada special edition with the roof bars and brown leather storage bags at the rear?)

Nice to see an estate version

[@peterward3965]

What a stunner a real rarity, particularly as it's an estate. Love the colour scheme. Makes me want to get my cheque book out. Never heard of the huntsman model though.

The Mk2 Escort Estate was a Mk1 with an upgraded dashboard and steering wheel, plus a new front end. The rest of it was the same. However, I've never seen one with fabric seats and headrests before! Back in the day, my dad had a metallic sky blue Mk1 Estate 1300, K-reg as a company car. Years later, my first ever company car was a white Mk2 Estate 1300, V-reg. It had rare sky blue vinyl seats and door cards from memory. I had a smash in it on an icy road - it was repaired and returned with a chrome-trimmed grille. Looking back, I prefer the look of a Mk1 Escort to a Mk2.

@@tbeau6663 yes I agree about the nicer lines of the Mk1. (The reason why the sky blue vinyl seats are so rare is probably because there was an alternative option ? )

Amend info...GL wheels with optional rim embellishers. No mention of original radio, spare wheel?

It'll have paint chips on the tailgate when you opened it up

Nice car. Great condition for the mileage. Would have expected 20 - 30k miles

[@classicfordmadfrosty2695]

Is the car for sale.

[@ciaranmccarney4927]

I had one went away in the scrap

[@Steve-gc5nt]

Ironic how many people want old Ford's when they struggle to shift new ones.

[@bertiewooster3326]

Bulletproof

[@Steve-gc5nt]

So why is it the only one for sale?

[@bertiewooster3326]

@@Steve-gc5nt Simple the owners of the others know not to sell as they are....... bulletproof.

Cheeky name Huntsman, given that the Granada Chasseur means Huntsman in French I believe?

[@philiptownsend4026]

A french chicken stew.

@@philiptownsend4026 I think they were actually Cologne built.
