I Saved A 1993 Mk1 Ford Mondeo From The Scrapyard

I admit I'm not an avid Ford enthusiast having been raised on Vauxhalls and old VW's. But that's not to say I don't appreciate the place they hold in many peoples lives and the their place in car history.

For me, like so many, its the late 80's to mid 90's Fords that bring the most interest. I certainly wouldn't say no to any Cosworth or Mk2 Escort.

However, when I saw this very standard 1993 Mk1 Mondeo at the local salavage auctions I just knew I had to win it!! If not, for sure it was destined for the crusher as to the industry there is no value in processing such a vehicle.

Although, if it was a high miler and rough around the edges then I'd have most definately passed on this opportunity and it would have sadly gone that way.

The fact that it was in such good condition, very low mileage and had minimal damage meant that 'Peter' was most definately a scrappage scheme survivor and simply had to be saved.

This is an introduction and walkaround video of Peter prior to its light restoration.

I hope you all enjoy.
