FORD ESCORT RS CW LX4
Ford, Escort Cosworth, big turbo model 17000 miles from new 1 former keeper !!!!
This beautiful Pacific blue example was manufactured in 1992 .
It was sold to a gentleman who kept the car right up until last year .
Indeed, it has been in storage for a number of years as that gentleman relocated to the USA a number of years ago .
He is now in his mid 80s .
The vehicle had just 17, 000 miles from new when it was stored up all those years ago .
A good friend of his purchase, the car with the intention of recommission in it and using it himself .
However, he ended up deciding to sell the car on, and that is where we came in .
The vehicle started and ran well .
It did have some aftermarket extras from the era .
As most of them did .
We wanted to put the car back to standard .
So we embarked on a full one year restoration project .
We decided to take the engine out fully rebuild. It fully detail it, and whilst the engine was out, we had all of the engine bay completely repainted.
The car had the odd mark and scuff around it, so we decided to give it a complete fresh coat of paint .
Whilst the car was up in the air, we decided to completely refurbish the underneath and every nut and bolt was taken off and everything was replaced with zinc. Plated bolts.
As is often the case you get carried away and spend vastly too much money. This indeed is one of those situations.
However, this is one of the best you will find
The interior was remarkable just needed a clean which is to be expected of such a low mileage car .
What we have here is a genuine, very low mileage history up to the point of storage example of an iconic fast Ford from the 90s
This Pacific blue example is, in essence, one owner as the second owner, the good friend literally registered it in his name for one month which is a shame .
Do get in touch if you wish to discuss further and view the vehicle we have numerous photos on file. We also have a book of the restoration.
