About this car

This is a Big Turbo Escort RS Cosworth, the road-going homologation special Ford built around Sierra Cosworth four-wheel-drive hardware under a shorter Escort shell. The Garrett T35-equipped YBT engine and five-speed manual make it one of the defining fast Fords of the 1990s.

It has covered just 12,354 miles and has had a single keeper since it was supplied new by Gordon Ford of Colwyn Bay in November 1993. The owner kept it garaged and used it sparingly until his death in 2009, after which it sat in the family garage. It is finished in Radiant Red with Polaris Grey Hexagon cloth Recaro trim, and still has its original paint, radio, Vecta immobiliser and supplying-dealer number plates.

It has recently come out of storage and been prepared for the road, with a new cambelt and tensioner and an oil and filter service. The history file includes the manuals, service books, handover paperwork, Ford Options scheme documents, old tax discs and MOT certificates. The price is on application.
