| This car has surfaced thanks to a chap called Adam who having bought the car then found this website and realised it wasn't listed, so the kind lad emailed these pics to me. I am particularly pleased to see this car as it's the first Fly I've seen registered in my home county of Norfolk (EX). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Adam says the car is 1300 Sport. DVLA info says it has a 1298cc engine and was registered on 25/8/82. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| At some stage the car has lost its side stripes which would have included a large slanting "S" on the rear quarter panel above the rear bumper. These late mk1 Sports also had mk3 Escort L 8 hole steel 13 inch rims with a coloured insert and 155/70 -13 tyres | ||||||||||||||||||||||||
| As can be seen, the car has been given the all too familiar treatment a lot of Mk1's have received over the years, namely the XR2 pepperpot alloys with 185/60 -13 tyres and an XR2 bodykit. Look carefully though as the kit doesn't appear to be an original XR item as it also featured a sill moulding. This Sport brings to two the number of Fly Sports I know of, the other being B654 PNA which itself is a bit strange as it was registered very late and featured the pre 82 facelift stripes when I saw it at FordFair in the mid 1990's. There's also the white sport featured on the Fly brochure which has yet to surface, if it hasn't already been scrapped. |
