This beautiful and very vibrant Ford Escort MkII RS2000 Custom has been restored externally, although its brown cloth interior remains in original (albeit very well‑preserved) order, albeit with some replacement items such as door cards dating from under a decade ago. The cabin does feature rare genuine brown rubber floor mats. The car also has correct period raised letter numberplates plus its original dealer sticker.

The 1993cc Escort was registered in January 1979 and has 38,716 miles showing on its odometer, although this isn’t warranted. Reference to the history folder suggests this is probably 138,716 miles. Although, as an historic vehicle, the car is now exempt from MoT testing, its most recent MoT is valid until August.

The paperwork folder includes the current and past V5Cs, book pack with owner’s handbooks and supplement, service book recording work up until 84,000 miles in March 1991, accessories brochure and dealership guide, among other booklets. There are photocopies of brochures, an envelope of decals and bills dating from 2014 to 2022 ‑ with one for £624 in June of this year for a full recondition of the four‑speed gearbox ‑ plus a couple of CDs, presumably of images. Two keys also come with the car.

Car available at Anglia Car Auction Saturday 20th and 21st – No Reserve
