Background
First introduced in 1967, the Ford Escort needs little introduction. This Escort however is a Mark 6 variant, made between 1995 and 2002 and was the last in the Escort line to carry the now famous RS ( Rally Sport ) badge.
Featuring the 2.0l double overhead camshaft engine which produced approximately 150 bhp when new, it was certainly no slouch and competed well in the ‘90s hot hatchback race.
History
First registered on the 14th of June 1996 by original supplying dealers Grays of Guildford, indeed this car still carries one of their garage stickers on inside the rear window.
Reading the service book, most of the RS’s mileage seems to have been done in the first 10 years on the road ie 85,000 miles. Thereafter, it was possibly off the road in storage until re-emerging with a service stamp in 2018 at 88,000 miles.
Since then, it has limited use having only covered 10,000 miles during the last 3 years, primarily to classic car shows and runs. Currently the pride & joy of the vendor and only purchased in August 2020 after a long search for the right car, it’s only up for sale because of an imminent house purchase.
Paperwork
There is a current V5c in the vendors name and the car is Mot’s until June 2022. There is a letter from the Ford RS Owners Club confirming registration etc, a history file containing many receipts for parts & servicing over the years, the owner’s manuals and service book.
There are also a number of original Ford RS sales brochures and leaflets relating to the Escort RS as well as other RS related literature & a Haynes workshop manual.
Interior
As you’ll see from the photo’s, the interior is in an exceptional condition and would appear to be standard. The velour covered seats are unmarked, with only the drivers bolster showing any signs of creasing. Door cards are in excellent condition all round as are the floor carpets.
Both the dash & centre console show very little signs of wear and could almost be described as unmarked. It’s also fitted inside with an optional 6 cd player and passengers’ airbag. The factory fitted sunroof opens as it should in both tilt & slide positions, and the roof lining is exceptional.
Exterior
This Escort RS has benefitted from a full professional re-spray in recent years and it’s hard to find a blemish. The wheels have been recently re-furbished and the knowledgeable ones amongst you will notice that they are Ford Focus ST170 items. 5 original alloys are included in the sale, but we’re sure you’ll agree that the current ones on the car finish it off very nicely.
Overall, the exterior is exceptional for a car of this year and would appear to be very sound throughout.
Mechanics
Driven to the photoshoot, the RS started well with the engine sounding very quiet with no unusual noises. It would appear to have been regularly serviced by all previous owners who have certainly looked after this motor. It’s had a possesses a recently upgraded ECU chip in the form of a Collins Superchip which is programmed to improve drivability and combined with a Magnex exhaust, certainly seems to make the engine sound and run crisply.
It changes up and down through the gearbox smoothly and despite going over a couple of speed bumps, there were no untoward sounds from the suspension or brakes.
Appeal
Well, this is the last in a long line of RS badged Escorts with an exceptional competition history through their reign. This one’s bright red & is certainly a head turner wherever it goes, a drivers car if ever there was one and of course gaining in popularity as we speak.
One to drive , enjoy , look after and ownership will pay dividends should you wish to sell in the future, they’re not making any more !

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
