Ford Escort mk2 Mexico stage Rally track day car RS2000

Here we have for sale my mk2 Escort rally car which I've owned for the last 28 years. had loads of fun it it during these years but the time has come to say goodbye as I just don't have the time or funds to continue using it as a rally car. The car was rebuilt a few years back using all new suspension parts and running gear. and has done 4 stage events and several track days since. The engine was built and tuned by pinto specialist Dave Brooks and is a cracking torque'y engine with loads of grunt. The gearbox was purchased new from Elite and has done very little work also. The car was also featured in Retro Ford magazine shortly after it was rebuilt. Be sad to see it go but the time has come to move on. I may consider selling it without the engine and gearbox i. e.  rolling shellAny questions I can be contacted on 07710 933483 or via ebay messaging.
