1985 Ford Escort | Rossendale, Lancashire

A 1985 Ford Escort Mk3, the front-wheel-drive hatchback with the angular Aeroback tail that became Britain's best-selling car in 1982. Its sharp, boxy lines are the look of the early-to-mid 1980s. This car is finished in white with a grey interior. It is an S1 Turbo with a 1600cc engine, in very good condition, and the cabin seats four. The plain grey trim keeps the inside simple and true to mid-1980s design, so it reads correctly in close-up. Its clean paintwork and period shape suit screen work set in the Eighties and Nineties, where it works as a background car or a hero vehicle. Adverts, music videos and fashion shoots get an uncluttered white body that lets colour and styling stand out around it. A wedding that wants a period feel is another good use. The car is based in Manchester.
