SUMMARY

This Series 2 RS Turbo has clearly seen better days and is in need of rescuing. Offered at No Reserve.

DESCRIPTION

In recent years this car has formed part of an extensive collection of motor vehicles. As such it has received little or no attention and is in a condition that could fairly be described as 'barn find.' It will undoubtedly require an element of recommissioning before it could be expected to return to the road. Inspection of the vehicle and its history file are therefore highly recommended prior to the sale to establish what is or may be required and to inspect any relevant paperwork or history file.

  • The Series 2 Escort RS Turbo (1986-1990) was a much more civilised driving prospect than its predecessor
  • 1,600cc fuel-injected CVH engine now fitted with a water-cooled Garret T3 turbo, revised engine management, improved gearbox, larger clutch and a limited-slip differential
  • Supplied in need of complete restoration, this Escort RS Turbo has plainly seen better days
  • Most likely worth more in parts, this opportunity could hold appeal but will require serious work
  • The driver's side window is smashed and the interior has been exposed to the elements for some time but it does appear that most of the requisite parts are intact
  • Part of the Stoneacre Collection, this car does not drive but does come with some older invoices
