SUMMARY
A simply stunning prize-winning example
DESCRIPTION
- In 1980, an RS2000 Custom was an extremely aspirational purchase, with the distinctive polyurethane droop snoot front end and air dam, distinguishing it from any other Escort
- The RS2000 substituted the diva-ish Cosworth unit for a sturdier 2.0-litre inline four-cylinder, SOHC, Pinto engine, which was mounted longitudinally, endowing the car with a 0-60 mph time of just 8.5 seconds and a top speed of 108mph
- An original shell, fully matching numbers car, restored to an amazing Concours condition, winning 1st place in the expert category at RSOC Lakes tour 2017
- Accompanied by lots of history
In September 1978, Ford introduced the RS2000 'Custom' which came fitted with 'Fishnet' Recaro seats, full door cards, clock and pod, centre console, 6Jx13
