Ford Escort 1300GT
Arrive at your ceremony in unforgettable style.
Vehicle Description
Your wedding day deserves a car as exceptional as the moment. The 1969 Ford Escort 1300GT brings packing 150 bhp, and genuine head-turning presence to your celebration in Sheffield. From the ceremony to the reception, every mile will feel like the beginning of something wonderful.
This isn’t your average 1300GT. Beneath the timeless lines of this Mk1 Ford Escort lies a tastefully reimagined machine—retaining its classic silhouette while hiding serious upgrades under the skin. With a fuel-injected 1.8L Zetec engine, Jenvey throttle bodies, and Newman fast road cams, this Escort blends vintage rally DNA with modern urgency and throttle response.
The result is a lightweight, high-revving pocket rocket with a spine-tingling induction roar. It pulls hard, sounds incredible, and revs with eagerness that the original 1300GT could only dream of. A 5-speed gearbox adds longer legs and sharper acceleration, making this car feel fast, fluid, and utterly alive.
From the passenger seat, every sensation is magnified. The bark of the throttle bodies, the immediacy of the engine response, and the chassis’ natural agility combine to create an immersive experience steeped in raw, analog charm. It’s light, nimble, and playful—just like a proper fast Ford should be.
Retaining its original character but enhanced with precision upgrades, this Escort is more than just a nostalgic throwback. It’s a celebration of driving purity, reengineered to perform in the modern world—without losing its soul.
