A superb 1973 Ford Escort Mk1 RS2000 made £78,750 to lead the pack at this CCA sale by Iconic Auctioneers which achieved a strong £1.1m total with 73% of all vehicles finding new owners.

Gary Dunne, Sales Manager at Iconic Auctioneers says: “We are delighted with our sale results and the fact that once again our reputation for selling Fast Fords well, delivered this result.”
