Description

  • The Escort RS Turbo became one of Ford’s defining performance models of the 1980s, combining turbocharged power with everyday usability and strong motorsport-inspired styling
  • Presented in good order throughout, this example is said to remain well cared for and continues to present well following recommissioning in previous ownership
  • Powered by Ford’s turbocharged CVH engine driving through a manual gearbox, the car is described as running and driving well
  • Fitted with a Kent Cams performance kit in 2005, offering a subtle enhancement to the car’s performance characteristics whilst retaining its period feel
  • Showing seven former keepers, the RS Turbo was discovered as a garage find and purchased from a deceased estate before being recommissioned and returned to the road
  • Accompanied by a good history file containing numerous maintenance invoices and receipts collected over the years, this RS Turbo represents an appealing example of Ford’s popular performance hatchback
