Originally registered in April 1989, this Ford Escort RS Turbo came into current ownership in April 2018. There are some meticulously documented invoices that reveal noteworthy servicing milestones. In 2000 there was a gearbox overhaul at approximately 85,000 miles and a Turbo Technics turbocharger fitted in 2010. Additional enhancements include a Mongoose stainless steel exhaust, Jamex shocks and lowering springs (resulting in a 25mm drop), an upgraded Airtec radiator with twin electric cooling fans, a CVH34 fast road camshaft, an oil cooler, a High Torque starter motor and a Clifford Concept 600 alarm/immobilizer system. A June 2018 rolling road tune-up, evidenced an impressive 157.8bhp and 175lb-ft of torque, beyond the factory specifications.

The RS Turbo has recently benefitted from new Goodyear tyres and an oil and filter change. The vendor has advised that 'it continues to run smoothly and maintains an ideal operating temperature also in part thanks to the upgraded cooling system. At the time of writing, a valid MOT is in place until November 2024, however, it is expected to possess a fresh MOT certificate in time for the sale. With its original handbooks present within the original wallet, this vehicle is also offered with a substantial collection of old MOT certificates. The growing demand for fast Fords in the collector's market makes this well-preserved Escort RS Turbo a compelling opportunity and is offered at 'No Reserve'.
