Description
• Highly modified to fast road specification• Fully rebuilt 2.0 litre Vauxhall XE engine Presented in striking Signal Green, this 1980 Ford Escort 1600 Sport has been highly modified and meticulously upgraded to a formidable fast road specification.
Evoking a classic touring car stance, the exterior features a genuine wide-body X-Pack kit, perfectly complemented by period-style Gold Minilite alloy wheels and front driving lamps.
Beneath the skin, the original powertrain has been replaced by a stripped and fully rebuilt Vauxhall C20XE big-valve engine mated to a five-speed gearbox, breathing through twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors and exhaling through a premium Simpsons race manifold.
Power is delivered via a five-speed manual gearbox paired with a competition-spec clutch, while a heavy-duty Baby Atlas rear axle with a four-link kit ensures the power meets the tarmac.
The mechanical package is further enhanced by a fully adjustable coilover suspension system with upgraded rear shock...
