SUMMARY

Comparatively rare in Modena Green, this striking RS2000 is fresh from a 19-year comprehensive restoration.

DESCRIPTION

Finished in Modena Green with Black Interior, the original colour combination from new
Having just been completed after a 19-year restoration, this RS presents in outstanding condition throughout
Rebuilt from a bare shell with every component receiving attention
Believed to be matching numbers, a real rarity on a Ford of this age
Mechanically standard with the exception of the head which has been updated, however, the original head will accompany the car should the new custodian wish to revert to full factory specification
Although MOT exempt, the Escort was recently presented for an MOT inspection, passing without advisories and now current until April 2026
With only shake-down mileage covered since completion, we recommend that a period of running-in will be required to obtain the very best from this increasingly desirable Ford
With the Performance Ford market showing no signs of diminishing we welcome and encourage your early inspection to fully appreciate the opportunity on offer
