1986 Ford Escort | Fife

A 1986 Ford Escort, the front-wheel-drive family hatchback that was frequently Britain's best-selling car through the 1980s. Its plain, boxy lines were a common sight on the street, so it places a scene in the decade at a glance. This car is finished in glossy red with a grey interior that is spotless and correct for the period. Its condition is very good, and a 1400cc petrol engine sits under the bonnet. It seats four. Film and television productions set in the 1980s or 1990s can use it as an ordinary car of the time, from street scenes to background traffic. Photographers and fashion or editorial stylists get a bold red body that stands out against city streets and country lanes. Retro-themed events gain a period arrival, and weddings and personal hires suit anyone after a nostalgic ride. The car is based in Fife.
