Ford Escort

A rather lovely exhibit at the Museum of Liverpool is this Ford Escort. Built in 1982 it was the millionth Escort built in Europe and was built at Liverpool's Halewood factory (then Ford but now owned by Jaguar). The Escort was never sold and was used for display purposes and has done less than 200 miles. My Dad had a similar Escort to this built the early 80s too, though his was beige. Maybe it was being built at the same time?
