DIEHARD ◊ 2008-02-08 19:19	1981 mk3

dudley ◊ 2008-02-28 23:10	Or GL. No Ghia badge on wing and head restraints are hollow, not solid padded Ghia spec.
rpcm ◊ 2008-02-29 02:20	I agree the Ghia badge is missing, but I think the padded part of the headrests was detachable. The GL didn't have so much chrome trim - for instance the one surrounding the indicators and continuing at the edge of the bonnet.
dudley ◊ 2008-03-27 23:28	Y-registration is clearly visible etched onto side glass in close-up shots. Two in this week's episode - this hero Escort, and a second, which gets crushed by an armoured car.
antp ◊ 2008-03-28 20:03	Here is the other Escort (episode 1.08) 00:16 ~ 00:17

Sunbar ◊ 2008-04-13 16:31	dudley wrote Y-registration is clearly visible etched onto side glass in close-up shots. ...... Etched security markings on the side glass visible in the final scene are LHY883Y... My car check and HPI check for LHY883Y, 1982 Ford Escort Ghia (5 Door Hatchback)
Marky21 ◊ 2008-05-27 14:38	The crushed escort is not a MKIII. Its a MKIV with the front of the bonnet chopped off. The big indicator is the loss of the distinctive grille with built in lights
tali ◊ 2008-05-27 23:34	The chrome hubcaps also easily identify main pic as a Ghia
lovejoysdatsun ◊ 2009-07-07 02:55	the crushed escort is not a mk iv as thet never had a steel lower valance under the plastic bumper and the grille is a optional extra brought fron the ford brochure
kudos ◊ 2015-01-02 14:07	This car has also appeared in The Wrong Mans and Not Going Out. /vehicle_656480-Ford-Escort-1983.html /vehicle_754138-Ford-Escort-1980.html

Alex had bork to the wrong tree form the start of the episode.) by how the front end looks in this exact sence like I do , the first time watch that episode.

antp ◊ 2018-09-12 19:25	ok, you mean "anyone else" in the general audience Indeed, that's the kind of thing that tends not being very noticeable when watching the episode; here with still pictures we see it much more easily.
