1985 Ford escort rs turbo series 1 (left hand drive) For Sale

I hereby present you with the opportunity to acquire a rare ford rs car. It represents a good investment opportunity, especially having just had a full rebuild to its original engine to the tone of 4000.-eur.

this is an original "non-custom" specification car, portuguese registered from new in 24-may-1985, has had 3 previous owners and is located 10min away from lisbon airport.

its vin/ chassis no. Is wf0bxxgcabet00354, denoting it was the 354th rs turbo leaving the german factory in december 1984.

with early production almost exclusively dedicated to motorsport customers, it is likely that this is one of the earliest rs turbo s1 in existence.

you will notice that this car does not feature the recaro seats this model is commonly known for. Unlike in the uk, the european non-custom specification did no. Include for the recaro seats which, due to production delays, only became available for cars built two months into 1985.

this car was originally offered by ford to the portuguese olympic athlete antonio leitao, for his bronze medal in the los angeles olympic games of 1984. ford was the main sponsor of the event.

if you are interested to know more, discuss the history of this car or book a viewing please get in touch.

before you contact me, be aware that:

i'm not a car trader, this is a private sale.
the car lives in portugal as part of my private collection.
i live in london, uk.
viewings will be in lisbon.
should the buyer wish, i can help arrange transport/ delivery to any destination in the world.

thank you for reading.

kind regards,
gustavo
