Great to see another cabriolet being looked after and being brought back on the road ive had all the models now and am back where I started with the mk3 :>) the experience ive had with the mk5s are rear lip where the rubber sits below the rear window where the water sits and petrol filler caps rot :>( keep the pics and updates coming if you need help and advice your in the right place regards Ollie

Looking from some advice on a good trickle charger please any one use one in there garage not sure if there worth buying or not thanks in advance ollie

Look stunning as expected fella :>) I keep thinking about upgrading my s1 recaros for leather but just love the feel of the cloth when on long journeys and when its hot lol look forward to seeing them in the car at a few shows Ollie :

Easiest way is to use photobucket copy and paste . Are you on our facebook page ?

come on peeps thought we might get a few more names down for this show ian avril Ollie bigjon any one else fancy it ?

looking very nice

nice to see your still tinkering with the escorts chris :>) come and say hello at the next show you attend regards ollie

Be very interested to see some pics mark cabby and stickers etc ..whats it say on the logbook ? regards ollie

hello chris hope all is well ...long time no speak on here I would say your pretty much right regarding the dealer special . If you had the spare cash to throw at a new cabriolet then the optional extras were endless from wheels / kit and interior . There are so many se cabriolets I think ford got carried away themselves lol Have you still got the ghia hardtop regards ollie

would be good to get some more info on your cabriolet spec etc how many owners and lots of piccys will help although as we all no pictures don't really tell the whole truth so do expect if you want top money to have lots of questions thrown at you and a few timewasters aswell regards Ollie

Just a little update regarding the showground use The bad news! We have lost our appeal against the enforcement action taken by Chelmsford City Council on our showground. Full details of the decision can be found through the following link: acp.planningportal.gov.uk/ViewCase.aspx?caseid=2227011 We are waiting for the advice of our planning and legal team as to the next step. The good news is that we can still use the land for up to 28 days per year without planning permission which will allow us to carry on hosting our four main shows plus the VW show and the Boatjumble. all good for us at the moment :>) regards Ollie
