Although the RS Cosworth strongly resembled the Escort road car, it was in fact based on a shortened Sierra 4x4 floor-pan and used the latter's running gear. The power unit was Cosworth's familiar, 2.0-litre, 16-valve, four-cylinder turbo, in road trim producing 227bhp. All that horsepower in a nimble, compact car made for stupendous performance - 0-60mph in 6.2 seconds, 138mph top speed, and the end of production in 1996 was a sad day for many.

This example was supplied by Hendy Ford, Southampton on the 20th May 1996 for use by company director, Paul Hendy, and registered as
