Description
If there’s one car maker that’s renowned for producing one affordable performance car after another it’s Ford. With a string of fast machines to its name that started back in the 1960s, the trend continued in the 1980s with the arrival of the front-wheel drive Escort RS1600i, XR3 and XR3i. For an encore, Ford turned up the wick in 1984 with the launch of the Escort RS Turbo. It’s easy to think of the RS Turbo as little more than a boosted XR3i, but it’s more than that – the suspension settings were altered and there was a viscous-coupled limited-slip diff to get the power down. All 132bhp of it.
Ford kept things simple with the Escort, so if you’re looking for a practical, affordable classic that’s easy to maintain on a DIY basis, then look no further. Despite its desirability, the RS Turbo is still very affordable, and the same goes for parts prices too. As you might expect, some of these are now hard to track down, but all mechanical items are easy to find – often at incredibly low prices. There’s not much to separate one RS Turbo from another. All of the RS Turbo Mk1s came in white, while the Mk2 was offered in an array of colours. Frankly, you’re better off not setting your heart on a particular colour because there are so few really good examples of these cars left, with even fewer coming onto the market.
