Ford Escort Finesse 1999

In Brief:

• Top of the range final edition Escort
• 68,000 miles from new believed to be genuine
• A good budget starter classic

On the Surface: This 1999 Ford Escort Finesse, owned by The Vendor since July 2023, presents itself as the final installment in the iconic Escort lineage. Finished in a Metallic Blue.

Maintenance: Although serving as a runaround, this Escort requires some attention to the bodywork and interior in order to make it a top example. Rusting is starting to appear on some arches as well as some other marks on the body. The interior would also benefit from some work with the door cards having seen better days.

History: Purchased as a budget-friendly option, this Escort lacks comprehensive historical documentation. Limited to an MOT printout dating back to 2005, its history between 1999 and 2005 is not present. With only 68,000 miles on the odometer, this Escort is believed to have genuine mileage, although the absence of detailed history means we cannot confirm it.

The Model: As the final iteration of the Ford Escort line up before the start of the Focus series, the 1999 Escort Finesse stands out as a well-equipped model of its time. Featuring Alloy Wheels, Air Conditioning, CD Player, Fog Lamps and Metallic Paint.

Sale Insight: Despite its imperfections, this Escort presents an opportunity for enthusiasts to obtain a budget starter classic and a project all in one.
