SUMMARY
One of only 1,500 built (500 in Strato Silver), this stunning Escort Harrier has been restored to an incredible standard. One of the best we have ever seen.
DESCRIPTION
- To commemorate their victory in the 1979 World Rally Championship of Makes, Ford introduced the Escort Mk2 'Harrier' in December 1979
- Only 1,500 were built, 1,000 in Diamond White and 500 in Strato Silver
- The flat front and rubber rear RS spoiler combined with the unique three-tone blue body stripes help distinguish this as a 'Harrier'
- The Harrier specification included front quarter bumpers, halogen headlamps, auxiliary driving lamps, rear spoiler, Triplex bronze-tinted glass, black door mirrors and handles, simulated leather covered sports steering wheel, Recaro front seats with head restraints, centre console incorporating quartz clock, heated rear window, tachometer, padded sun visors, and 'Aeroflow' ventilation with eyeball vents
- Finished in Strato Silver, this example has undergone a complete, ground-up, bare-shell professional restoration recently completed to the very highest of standards. Covered just 1,501 miles since
- The 1,600cc engine has been lightened and balanced, fully rebuilt and mated to a totally rebuilt gearbox and fully overhauled drivetrain
- Expertly detailed throughout and as clean on the underside as it is on the top
- Perfect addition to any Ford Collection and ready to be used once again, be that out on the open road or presented proudly on the show field
