![]() ![]() I'm guessing this one is a higher trim level than low-spec Popular. |

I think it's just the early Jan-July 75 poverty spec before the Popular was launched with blackboard paint instead of chrome. |

Worth to list due its rarity. |

But that's a rubbish car, Clarkson told me so: /vehicle_67403-Morris-Ital-ADO73-1980.html ![]() |

Blue oval on grille with horizontal bar picked out in silver and round headlights suggests 1978 L version, backed up by the door mounted mirror rarely found on 1975 Escort saloons as they were an optional extra then. |

This one has PGE 74W plate which is a total fake and fairly dodgy (W was Aug 80 to July 81, Mk3 Escort arrived Sept 80) There's at least 5 Escorts in this film - often seen together![]() ![]() ![]() but no idea if they're always the same ones, particularly as there's some dodgy plates scattered amongst them - eg NEL 823P (genuine) becomes NEL 823W (from a Renault 5) at one point. ![]() "PGE 74W" spends a fair bit of the time as a 2 door with round lights - also ![]() but also becomes a 4 door with square lights and a GL rear badge ![]() ![]() ![]() which leads to We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided FORD ESCORT 1300 GL 1976 Registration number: PGE 74P Body type: 4 Door Saloon Colour: White Date of first registration: July 1976 ✗ Untaxed Tax due: 1 August 1987 Other plates: LHH 212W and xxx 421W ![]() ![]() LHH 212W was a Sept 80 Volvo 343 DL, but as seen here LHH 212P makes sense ![]() We've identified this vehicle using the details you provided FORD ESCORT POPULAR 1975 Registration number: LHH 212P Body type: 2 Door Saloon Colour: White Date of first registration: December 1975 xxx 421W is presumably KYE 421P. If so that could be all 5 plates solved, although I don't really have a clue what 2-door PGE 74W should have worn. |
