1978 Ford Escort MK2 Ghia review from UK and Ireland
"Brilliant nostalgic motoring"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The only problem I have encountered during my ownership is a faulty ignition switch. The engine has been around the clock, but still serves well. It also leaks oil, but that is expected of a car this old. The interior is like new, without any blemishes at all. I would definitely buy another classic ford as I think that they are better than modern fords, even though I'm only 20 years of age.
General comments?
An exceptional car when looked after properly.
