A couple of years ago I fancied a toy, had a budget of £500, it had to be fun, and cheap to insure. I did a quote on lots of 80's era cars and the Escort Cabriolet in general came out at just over £100 fc, winner. So I set about looking for one within budget, wasnt too fussed if it were a runner had mot or tax, i dont mind getting my hands dirty. It could even be a complete project I wasnt too fussed. The one that caught my eye was bright yellow, I like to stand out, not knowing much about these cars I chatted to the seller, aggreed a price, and off i went to loughborough with trailor in tow. £450 later I came back with "Scabby", my 1989 Tennis. No Tax or mot.

For the Mot it needed some welding on the sills and thats about it. Was then Insured and put 6 months Tax on it. that was a great 6 months.
