Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo presents as a Series 1 but is built on a Mk4 shell, with significant recent investment over £12,000 in engine rebuilds and upgrades. Despite a structurally sound body, the interior requires refurbishment and the car needs recommissioning to run, with a current fuel injection issue under investigation.

Condition
6
The car is described as being in 'good condition' with a structurally excellent underside and no rust. However, it requires recommissioning after a period in storage, with notable work needed on the interior trim, dash top, seats, and non-working dash gauges. The paintwork would also benefit from remedial improvement, including minor scuffs and crazing on the rear spoiler. While significant recent expenditure has gone into the engine and upgrades, the car is not currently running due to a fuel injection system issue.

He further notes that the underside and the battery tray area are both “good,” and that the Escort is “structurally excellent.” The paintwork would benefit from some remedial improvement, with minor scuffs present and some crazing noted on the rear spoiler.

The car has been fitted with a fully reconditioned engine and injection system with a new Air Tech performance intercooler and a stainless-steel performance exhaust system.
