1989 Ford Escort

Estimated Price: £20,000 - £25,000

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
