Hi Guys,

Thanks for viewing the listing of my Series 1 Escort RS Turbo

I bought this car last year mid lockdown, with all intentions of getting her to former glory however due to a house purchase it's time to let her go.

1985 series 1 model, becoming extremely rare now with only a few hundred thought to be left on the road and prices are going up very rapidly.

Positives 

The car, although would benefit from a service starts and drives perfect with no knocks or bangs and is still a quick car even by today's standards. 

The bodywork is in great condition, doesn't seem to be full of filler and shows no signs of previous damage. One of the things on my list to get the car properly painted corrected as being an almost 40 year old car now the plastics have aged and there is a slight colour discrepancy from the metal. 

The car recently had an MOT which is passed but does require additional work, mainly but not limited to welding on the sills which is a known issue on these cars. 

The car is pretty standard, boasting the original tape player and the reactor interior is in really good condition, even the electric windows work! The only aftermarket pieces on the car (to my knowledge) are the blue samco hoses, big boy sports exhaust and dump valve. 

The vehicle also comes with remote immobiliser which is great and some paperwork boasting some service history and receipts but this certainly wouldn't constitute as a full history. The new owner would also need to apply for a new V5.

Also comes with some spares in the way of a replacement steering wheel and some spot lamps. 

Not So Positives

When we bought it we were told it had 90k which was in line with the MOT the seller had done. However this is incorrect, obviously the new MOT shows the correct miles at approx 119k now, wasn't a big thing for me.

The car will require some welding, places like the battery housing are still all good but there is work to be done on the car, so please do not expect a mint concours car.

Interior wise is pretty good however the sunroof lining has come off at some point in its life and needs replacing.

I'm sure I would've missed something, it's almost 40 years old. I see this as a potentially great value car, I now see these ranging from 35-50k so I feel this is priced correctly.

I am only interested in a straight sale.

Car is located in telford and can be viewed once an agreement has been made on price and a deposit paid to secure the vehicle.
