The thing is, this particular Ford Escort is the first car of Princess Diana. Prince Charles gave it to her as an engagement gift a month before their wedding.
It should be noted that this is a quite ordinary Ford Escort, but in the top Ghia trim with a velour interior. Under the hood is a 1.6-liter 105-horsepower gasoline four-cylinder, paired with a 4-speed manual transmission.
In general, everything is quite modest and no luxury. Although Lady Di used it for a short time – until 1982. Shortly after that, the car was bought by an antique dealer, and since 2000 it has been owned by an ardent fan of Princess Diana. She adorned the hood with a frog figurine – Lady Di's talisman.
The hatchback has not been restored, but it is excellently preserved and even retains its original license plate WEV 297W. The declared mileage of the car is 133.5 thousand km. Now the Ford Escort will become an exhibit of a South American automobile museum.
