Description

The Rebirth of a Rally Legend

In the 1970s, the Ford Escort RS2000 conquered the rally world with its brutal simplicity and indestructible character. From the snowy mountain passes of Monte Carlo to the muddy forest tracks of Great Britain, the Escort demonstrated the true meaning of a pure driving experience. Today, that glory days are revived in this meticulously restored 1974 RS2000. Engine registrated RDW.

The foundation for this rebirth is a Belgian, rust-free, two-door MK1 Diamant White Saarlouis body, professionally modified to AVO specifications—exactly as built by Ford's acclaimed Advanced Vehicle Operations back then. Underneath, the engineering is true to an RS2000 MK2, with its powerful engine, precise gearbox, robust rear axle, and rally-worthy suspension. The complete restoration is available for viewing.

The engine isn't just a random build: a High Torque camshaft, freeflow exhaust manifold, and enlarged carburetor provide extra breathing room and a wonderfully direct throttle feel. The Escort responds sharply, eagerly, and with that characteristic rasp that gives every car enthusiast goosebumps. The balance of power and agility makes it not only an icon of the past, but also a welcome guest on racetracks and classic rally events today.

Everything about this car exudes craftsmanship – from the engine's core to the precise suspension tuning. This isn't a museum piece, but a rolling tribute to Ford's sporting heritage.

Experience the legend. Drive into the future with the Ford Escort RS2000 – reborn, but still as aggressive as ever.
