Further info:
The Ford Escort RS Cosworth was a rally homologation special of the fifth generation Escort. It was designed to qualify as a Group A car for the World Rally Championship, in which it competed between 1993 and 1998. It was available as a road car from 1992-96 in very limited numbers, only 7,145 vehicles were produced from the start of production on 19 February 1992 until the last car rolled out of the factory on 12 January 1996. It was instantly recognisable due to its large "whale tail" rear spoiler. The main selling point was the Cosworth YBT engine, a highly tuneable turbocharged 2-litre engine which had an output of 220 PS in standard trim.
This fine example has only covered 14,000 kilometres from new and as one would expect with such low mileage, the owner reports that the car is in excellent condition in every respect.
The car has been kept in a de-humidified, heated garage and is in original, un-molested condition - the owner fires up the car every 1-2 weeks to bring it up to temperature. The car has also had a cambelt change plus new oil/air/fuel filters, spark plugs, coolant and brake fluid.
The car boasts all the features you would expect with a performance car of this type with four wheel drive, ABS, central locking, climate control, sports suspension and power steering. Finished in desirable Mallard Green with a grey interior, this is perhaps the lowest mileage example of this legendry car and with prices on the rise is an opportunity not to be missed.
