SUMMARY

On offer from long term family ownership, this fastidiously maintained and beautifully presented RS has been modelled by Corgi for an imminent release.

DESCRIPTION

  • This superb example of Ford's legendary Escort RS Cosworth was initially supplied by Wylie's Ford of 370 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow and first registered on 11/05/1994
  • It was purchased by its late owner, a long standing Fast Ford enthusiast, in March 1998 after a thorough search for his dream car
  • Powered by the early 2-litre Cosworth engine fitted with what became known as the 'big turbo', however this has since been remapped by Castle Performance Engineering to deliver c.340bhp to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission
  • The car was finished from new in Moondust Silver, a 'special order' colour at the time, but was fully resprayed in 1999 after many Moondust Silver cars suffered paint problems and were recalled by the factory
  • With very few produced in this colour and even less remaining, famous model makers Corgi chose DPF 454 as a basis for their Escort RS Cosworth model which we understand is being launched in Spring 2025
  • The car's condition is exceptional as is confirmed by its numerous Concours d'Elegance trophies, including winning the RS Ford category at the 2011 European Ford event in Holland
  • Supplied with its original book packs, previous MOTs and numerous invoices including a recent full service with belts and seals in April 2025
  • Please note that the Cherished Registration Number illustrated, DPF 454, does not form part of the sale
