⭕ VEHICLE SUMMARY

Handling 'B' roads with purpose, this Mk2 RS2000 has been fully restored and serves as a reminder of simpler, more enjoyable driving days.

First introduced to the world in June 1973, the Ford Escort RS2000 used the same body shell as the RS1600 and Mexico but was fitted with a Ford 2.0-litre Pinto unit, developing 100bhp—slightly quicker than the Cortina. The Mk2 Escort first appeared in January 1975, developed jointly between the UK and Ford of Germany, proving hugely popular with British buyers. Running the same mechanical configuration and core structure as the Mk1 Escort but with a revised underbody and additional performance, the long-awaited Mk2 RS2000 was launched at the 1975 Earls Court show. At the time, it was one of the most luxurious of the sporting Escorts and a real success in the performance car market.

This RS2000 comes to market from 17 years of ownership. It has been previously restored and features a rally cross member, a five-speed gearbox, and a Weber twin-choke carburettor. As part of the restoration work, the car was resprayed in its original red paint, with the interior finished in dark brown cloth.
