1985 Ford Escort Cabriolet | Barnsley, South Yorkshire

A 1985 Ford Escort Cabriolet, the Karmann-built soft-top version of the front-wheel-drive Mk III Escort. The Escort was Britain's best-selling car for eight years from 1982, so its open-top sibling is a shape many people remember from the decade. This car is red with a grey interior and is in excellent condition. It has a 1600cc engine and room for four. Registered in 1985, it has the Mk III's earlier nose, which was replaced by a smoother one with the 1986 facelift. With the roof folded, the whole cabin is in view. The bright red body against grey trim gives fashion shoots and music videos a strong colour to build around. The Mk III shape also reads clearly as the 1980s, which helps in period film and TV scenes. For a wedding, it offers a lively alternative to a traditional bridal car. It is based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire.
