1990 Ford Escort Mk4 | Maidenhead, Berkshire

A 1990 Ford Escort Mk4, the late update of Ford's third-generation Escort, with a smoother nose, softer rear lamps and a redesigned dashboard. The Escort was among Britain's best-selling cars of the 1980s, so it reads at once as the family car of its day. This car is blue with a grey interior, and its condition is very good. It has a 1.3-litre petrol engine, which suits the everyday character the model is known for. Plain paintwork and a restrained cabin give a clean, period-correct look that does not compete with the scene around it. That suits late-1980s film and television, where an ordinary family car sets the period without drawing attention. Advertising, photography and music video work with an 1980s theme can use the same everyday look as a backdrop, and fashion and editorial shoots get an understated period car. It also makes a low-key retro wedding car. The car is based in London, Berkshire.
