Description

  • Equally suited to a collection of significant Fords or proudly displayed on the concours lawn or at any classic Ford event
  • Sympathetically upgraded for enhanced performance and drivability with a Vulcan Engineering-built 1.6-litre engine breathing through twin Weber 45 carburettors
  • Importantly, the original matching numbers factory engine accompanies the sale and will require collection directly from the vendor following the auction
  • Further enhancements include front Wilwood and Cosworth rear disc brake conversions together with Gaz shock absorbers, significantly improving the Escort's road manners without detracting from its character
  • Completing the purposeful appearance are period-style 16-inch Compomotive alloy wheels, perfectly complementing the car's sporting credentials
  • Restored and finished to a standard rarely achieved, this exceptionally rare Escort Sport deserves inspection to fully appreciate the quality of the workmanship and the opportunity on offer
