1994 Escort Cosworth Sprint/Hill climb

Originally owned and run by Motorsport Vision this particular Escort has recently been totally rebuilt as a Sprint and Hillclimb car on a Ford Motorsport 909 'Group N' shell, Serial No 799, that has been stitch-welded and fitted with a welded-in roll-cage. Externally, the bonnet and wings are genuine Cosworth with fibreglass side-skirts and spoilers all expertly finished in instantly recognisable ‘Repsol’ colours. Mechanically, it is running a standard engine which has been refreshed by Bob Dowen Rally Services of Cwmbran and built up based on a '205' block with new piston rings and seals as required. Forced induction is courtesy of a fully reconditioned Sierra Cosworth Garrett T3 Turbo and vented through a new 3" stainless steel exhaust system. The radiator is new as is the RS 500 Intercooler and Roose Motorsport hose kit.

A ‘works’ Group N gearbox was sourced having been originally fitted to the 1990 Kenny McKinstry winning car and the remainder of the running gear is Sierra Cosworth 2wd, retardation is assisted by 6 and 4-Pot Compbrake Calipers which are encased within new ‘Rota’ wheels fitted with new Max Sport 225-40-R18 tyres. A more comprehensive list of works and a detailed build-spec is available upon request. Our vendor has a Championship-winning sprint and hill-climb background and there is no aspect of this impressive little Escort that has not received his consideration and in-depth knowledge during the rebuild.

Accompanied by the necessary Motorsport UK Logbook issued 13th July 2022 and valid until 13th July 2032 under ‘Category Sprint & Hill Climb – Sports Libre’, the Escort is now surplus to requirements giving the opportunity for the next custodian to acquire a fully rebuilt Escort without the extensive costs and time scales that a rebuild to this standard dictates.

NB. Please note that this vehicle is not road-registered and is not road legal.
