This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2025 on Sunday the 9th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT.
The ****** RS Cosworth was launched in 1992 as an 'homologation special', where its sole purpose was to incorporate parts that Ford planned to use in their rally cars to ensure success in International Rallying
Powered by the legendary 227bhp Cosworth YBT engine, with permanent four-wheel drive, rally-bred chassis and the unmistakable 'whale tail' rear spoiler, it was one of the most iconic Performance Fords of its era
In 1995, the RS Cosworth was treated to a mild facelift, with a new honeycomb grille, restyled bumpers, a more attractive fascia, and revised alloy wheels
This example is finished in the desirable shade of Mallard Green with a classic black leather Recaro interior
Being a Lux, the car is equipped with opening rear quarter windows, electrically operated and heated door mirrors, 'Quickclear' heated windscreen, heated washer jets, 3-spoke leather-covered steering wheel, central double locking, tailgate release, lights on warning, rear centre armrest, rear head restraints, electric sunroof, electric windows, with the factory fitted Ford radio cassette alongside the factory upgrade 2040 CD player
On offer from a deceased estate, the car is supplied with limited history and understood to have last changed hands in 2001
The online MOT history indicates the car was not tested between 2009 and 2022. The odometer reads just over 37, 000 miles and those records that are available suggest it has covered fewer than 1, 000 miles in the last 20 years
The car presents in very good condition and will be supplied to auction with a fresh MOT
The Cherished Registration number, N40 KNB, will remain with the car
A rare opportunity to acquire a low-mileage Cosworth in a sought after colour, offered without reserve
