A highly modified Ford Escort RS Cosworth, originally built for rallying, has resurfaced after years of being missing. The car boasts numerous special features and a remarkable history.
The highly sought after retro classic from 1992 was specially modified for motorsport and boasts a plethora of special features. But having disappeared for a number of years, the car is being sold in tip-top condition with a remarkable 703 miles on the odometer. The modified Ford is one of a few that was ordered to compete in rallies - fitted with a YBT RS500 blue-top engine that was later upgraded to produce over 300 bhp.
Aesthetically, the car is finished in a gorgeous Diamond White with a no-sunshine roof, wind-up windows and rear quarter panel windows. The listing’s interior pictures reveal Recaro cloth seats and floor vents, which allow for extra ventilation into the car. The model was purchased in 1992 by well-respected motorsport specialists Co-ordSport of Oldbury - known for winning numerous rally championships with major teams and sponsors all over the world. However, after competing in only a couple of rallies, the car disappeared from view and became something of a legend, with only occasional rumours hinting at its existence. The listing, which has since marked the car as sold, added: “With the car having only ever covered a couple of rally stages early in its life, it is accident-free with all original glass and panels.“A remarkable step back in time, with some minor signs of wear and patina which only add to the nostalgic feeling this car brings.”“The work was carried out by Flash Motorsport in Australia, to a very high level, even down to the correct restrictor and anti-tamper wire on the turbocharger.“A very rare opportunity to buy such an example, complete with quite a story.' The Ford was described by auction house Iconic Auctioneers as 'unlikely to be surpassed in terms of its originality'.
