Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 1979 Ford Escort RS Custom is a highly modified 'competition car' featuring a 2.1 Pinto engine, upgraded gearbox, brakes, and suspension, with many new components. Despite its extensive enhancements and valid MOT, its nature as a competition vehicle suggests potential for wear, influencing its overall condition.
Condition
7
The car is described as a 'Genuine solid competition car' with many performance upgrades and new parts. It has a current MOT until 2026, indicating it is roadworthy. However, being a competition car with significant modifications suggests it has likely been used and may have wear consistent with that, though it's not explicitly stated as having damage. The presence of a heated screen and polycarb windows also hints at its intended use.
