Description

Surely one of the greatest fast Fords of all time, the Escort RS Turbo is quickly rising the ranks to become one of the most collectible hot hatches of its era. Coming from long ownership, this very late second generation variant, with low miles on the clock could be seen as a great way into the fast Ford scene for someone with a bit of know-how or passion, with the end result being a thoroughly standout RS Turbo.

Cosmetically this particular example seems solid and fundamentally well. The paintwork looks to be in largely good order with just a small patch of bubbling making itself known around the front and rear windscreens along with the to be expected signs of general age related wear and tear. Inside is quite the place to be and boasts a selection of period modifications including an aftermarket steering wheel, auxiliary gauge set and carbon fibre effect trim fascias.

Mechanically the car is being sold as needing a going over following long term storage. We have had it running and driving for a short test drive and it performed OK, however the fuel currently in the car is on the older staler side meaning the running could be improved upon. The previous owner informs us that the car was subject to an engine, gearbox and turbo rebuild circa 2005 and the car has covered minimal mileage since, it has also been converted to run brake discs on the rear and fitted with an upgraded intercooler.
