Fantastic weather (finally!) to get the Fiesta out of the shed and stretch its legs. Ran like a champ despite being locked up for a long time.

Just wish there were a few shows and club runs happening. Hopefully later this summer.

If that's your house you must have some size of a shed

I’m the 2nd owner, 43000 miles, history available, I have it maybe 25 years, it’s a ‘73 Mk 1 escort 1100, unmolested example, not even a radio. Assembled in Cork.

Considered selling several times when kids were smaller and they stopped me with tears.... now they are adults and it’s going nowhere.

Its a beauty. I am a big fan of the standard, unmolested cars.

And not that it matters - but its worth a fortune. I would never sell it either.

Thanks, the colour is quite modern , I’m vaguely aware it could make strong money, well north of €10000 I’m told and yes they are disappearing, many went to the rally Lads.

I’m planning on treating it shortly to a full mechanical check, hoses, brake pipes, bushes etc etc to ensure it goes on well into the future

check your security and your insurance agreed valuation, very desirable to some light fingered persons. Irish reg makes it more so.

the location isnt as snazzy as some of the other ones, and I tend not to stop and take photos when I am in a nice location

Never thought it might get stolen, it’s garaged year round apart from the odd club run when it might be vulnerable when having lunch etc, maybe I should put a chain - steering wheel to drivers seat on those occasions.

It’s insured appropriately, very important that.

Are classic cars being stolen to any degree, must say wasn’t aware of any going stray.
