Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1991 Ford Fiesta RS Turbo, a rare hot hatch, boasts just over 71,600 miles and is presented in original Radiant Red paintwork. With a well-maintained Recaro interior, recent brake overhaul, and cambelt change, this unmodified example is a collector's dream.
Condition
8
The car presents very well in its original Radiant Red paintwork with only minor blemishes. The original Recaro interior presents very well with no signs of sagging across the seats, although the driver's bolster has a small amount of wear on the piping. The vendor reports that it is fantastic to drive, feeling very tight and obvious that it has never been taken apart to restore. The vendor has recently overhauled the brakes and there is an invoice on file to suggest that the water pump and the cambelt have been recently changed.

Description
In 1990, Ford introduced what would become arguably one of the finest hot hatches they’ve ever produced.

The engine was in essence the same unit as used in the Escort RS Turbo, released in 1986, which itself was an update of the earlier Escort RS Turbo from 1984.
Instead of the earlier fuel injection which used a Bosch KE system, Ford used their own EEC IV system as used in the XR2i, making the car much more tuneable without having to use 5th injectors and allows for more accurate air flow readings.
Driving the Fiesta RS Turbo daily was by no means a chore, the thrill of the ride was complemented by a full Recaro interior, as fitted in the Cosworths and Escort RS Turbos.
The steering wheel is leather covered and embossed with the Turbo logo which was complimented ...
