1996 Ford Escort Si 2-Door – Fully Restored.
A rare opportunity to acquire an exceptionally well-presented 1996 Ford Escort Si 2-door, finished in striking Radiant Red and showing just 84,607 miles on the clock.
This Escort has undergone a full restoration (by James Power Galway) and is now in immaculate condition. With so many Escorts of this generation having disappeared from Irish roads, finding a properly restored 2-door example in this condition is becoming increasingly difficult.
The car has a fresh NCT and is ready to be enjoyed immediately.

This Escort would make a superb addition to a Ford or modern-classic collection, an enjoyable weekend/second car, or could equally be driven and enjoyed regularly.
Good 1990s Fords are increasingly being recognised as genuine modern classics, with clean, original-looking and properly restored examples becoming much harder to find. The 2-door Escort has particular period appeal, and cars preserved to this standard should have considerably better long-term prospects than average examples.
While future values can never be guaranteed, well-restored, relatively low-mileage (not verified) 1990s Fords such as this have genuine collectible potential as surviving numbers continue to fall.
Most importantly, this isn't a car that needs to be hidden away, it's a lovely car to drive and can be enjoyed while being cared for as a future classic.
Genuine reluctant sale due only to the current owner running out of suitable storage space.
Asking €14,950 open to sensible offers.
Viewing is highly recommended as the condition really needs to be seen to be appreciated.
Do not ask for more photos just make an appointment to see it in reality.
