Ford Escort Cosworth big-turbo 200 block with ~1,000 miles since rebuild
Motorsport components throughout, including Wilwood, Bilstein, AP Racing, and Sabelt
Fully strengthened shell with Safety Device International roll-cage
The Appeal
The Mk2 Ford Escort is legendary for a reason. It remains one of the most revered platforms in British motorsport. In GRP4 tarmac specification with a Cosworth powerplant, we arrive at the sharp end of what this celebrated shell can deliver. This example has been built with serious intent and well-chosen components throughout.
At its heart sits a Ford Escort Cosworth big-turbo 200 block fed by a T34 turbo and managed by a P8 ECU running greys set, with just 1,000 miles covered since the engine was rebuilt. Power is delivered through an AP Racing clutch and TS Cosworth quick-shift gearbox, while a big alloy intercooler radiator combo and full stainless exhaust complete the drivetrain package. The rear end features a 48" Atlas axle with ZF limited-slip differential and Watts adjustable linkage, while the front suspension comprises Bilstein coilover shock absorbers, rose-jointed compression struts, and adjustable bottom arms. Braking is handled by Wilwood callipers and Tarox discs up front, with Cosworth callipers at the rear and a bias pedal box for fine-tuning balance.
The shell has been fully strengthened and fitted with a Safety Device International roll-cage, GRP4 fuel tank, and GRP4 firewall. Inside, the cockpit features Cobra Sebring Pro seats, Sabelt harnesses, RS gauges, a Revotec turbo gauge, and a Motamec steering wheel, with motorsport-style no-key starting. Finished in Ford Signal Green on 8Jx13 Revolution alloy wheels wearing DMACK Grippa and Kumho Ecsta rubber, and fitted with GRP4 tarmac alloy arches, this is a car built to be driven hard.image.png1.52 MB
