I think you are hankering after the Mk1 look. Round headlights don't look quite right on a Mk2 van, it's a square shaped body, and square headlights look better to me on a MK2.

Was that a G or a Q? If it's a G it's a Mk1, if it's a Q, was it a rebuilt rightoff?

i always think mk1 transits resemble mk1 escorts and mk2 transits resemble mk2 escorts........................ :idea:

my point being theres no way i would have square headlights in my mk2 escort!! :shock: even though they fitted them to the ghia models and round ones to the popular!! :lol:

still undecided :roll:
