Car is a s1 escort rs turbo non custom ,which in the rs turbo world are rare ,no sunroof elect windows or central locking basically like a motorsport option from fords when new , most people opted for the custom pack which was surprisingly cheaper than the non ccustom obviously everyone bought the custom ones ,meaning non customs were always rare anyway
anyway enough background
live owned the car for around 4 years and before that the chap I got it from had had it stored in a farmers lean too for around 8 years
The car is original and complete and all there 100% , 34k miles showing on clock and early mot I have along with paperwork (probably geniune mileage but cant be 100% as been off road so long)
things like kit having never been removed and as near mint as can be with no screw holes ,splits etc etc still has genuine tow eye cover too ...
Its hpi clear and has a fairly low amount of owners for the type of car think its 12 but bear in mind car is from 1985 and from new these were passed around like hot potatoes due to hot hatch insurance prices and thefts etc
Also worth noting there are less than 30 non customs left and currently registered on the database and only ever around 10 roadworthy at any one point to give an idea of rarity over the custom models
around 600 customs still registered maybe more
sadly even in such a time warp condition its suffered at the hands of tin worm !!!! Make no mistake it needs a lot doing but I've personally done worse so don't see it as a problem myself ,but would just take up soo much of my time doing it to the standard it needs
low mileage examples of these cars change hands for silly money and done correctly feel it should be a solid 6-8k car all day long (reserved estimate as still rising in value )
It needs a competent welder and lots of man hours and will make a truly stunning retro ride !!
Having been messed about after selling twice on so called auction sites its back up for grabs
Asking 2750 Ono and reduced price already due to having kept a small deposit from a previous time waster as agreed
