Said to drive like a new car, the 1998 GTi has covered only 80,000 miles and comes with a stamped history to substantiate. Its body is described as excellent too, although unsurprisingly for a car that’s over 20 years the MoT history indicates that the underside has seen some remedial work. Half leather trim is tidy and original.The only deviations from standard are 60 mm lowered suspension and white lights. Registered just months before the Focus was introduced, the Panther Black Escort is MoT’d until October.
