1980 Ford Escort RS2000 Custom For Sale by Auction

This lot will be auctioned via Silverstone Auctions, The Classic Sale at Silverstone 2022 on Friday the 26th of August - Saturday the 27th of August, The Wing, Silverstone Circuit, NN12 8TN. It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS2000 Mk2 was launched, the term RS had grown to mean something a bit special.
In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; Fishnet Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13? alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black.
Offered here is a 1980 Ford Escort RS2000 superbly restored in the early 2000s, finished in its original body colour and retaining the original brown Custom Pack interior. Known and highly regarded within the RS Owners Club, the detailed bare shell restoration is fully documented with photographs before and during the works completed. Our private vendor informs us that the interior including the carpets and desirable fishnet Recaro seats remain original and beautifully preserved, with the clock in the pod functioning correctly.
Standing up to the test of time today, this RS2000 presents rather well with the Diamond White paintwork retaining a deep gloss and the aforementioned original interior also presenting well. Mechanically, the Pinto fires up on-the-button and performs well running smoothly and accelerating through every gear. The car is accompanied by a large box-file full of history including a memory stick with photographic evidence documenting the restoration, a wealth of old MOTs, the original VIN plate and invoices for regular maintenance over the years. This lovely example will be offered serviced up-to-date and, although exempt, will have a fresh MOT.
This is a superb opportunity to take ownership of a true 1980s icon, an RS finished in the colour of all competition Fords and well restored whilst retaining lots of originality. Excellent examples will continue to be in high demand and this one is offered at a realistic guide and ready to turn heads at any classic car event.
