DESCRIPTION

  • A fine example of the fifth generation Escort RS 'Cossie' from long term ownership with just 88,621 miles indicated

  • Very large history file which includes the usual service and maintenance invoices, original service book, MOTs back to 1996 and the dealer book pack
  • It also includes invoices from 2007 detailing a full engine rebuild with modifications substantially increasing the power output
  • A series of further invoices (£6,872) from Motorsport Developments over the late 2013 - early 2014 period detail further setting-up, ignition, turbo and fuel-mapping in addition to cosmetic improvements, attention to detail etc. Just over 2,000 miles since

  • Lightly used in recent years, the last MOT expired on 25/06/2021
  • Its original registration number, K1 RSC will remain with the car
  • This smart little RS Cosworth has been subject to considerable expenditure over the years and we encourage interested parties to spend time looking at the extensive history file
