Introduction
Alan Stuart
Ford followed up the RS1600i in considerable style with the RS Turbo - only the quickest cars from the Ford line up are awarded and equipped with the famous RS badge.
The Series 2 Escort RS Turbo was produced between 1986 to 1990, and although it utilised the Series 1 1600cc fuel-injected CVH engine, it was now fitted with a Garrett T3 Turbo, lower gearing, improved gearbox, limited-slip differential, larger clutch, intercooler, stiffer suspension, uprated anti-roll bars, larger brakes, and the list still goes on.
There are plenty of giveaways from the exterior that tells you that this is a very desirable Escort RS Turbo, with its rally-inspired fog spotlights, 15" alloys, wheel arch extensions, side skirts, and spoiler. The car produced an impressive ~132BHP, top speed of 125mph, and a 0-60 time of 8.3 seconds.
Darren has been the owner of this Escort RS Turbo for the previous 6 years, he's poured hundreds of hours returning the car to the highly original spec you see today, with a couple of tasteful tweaks. Finding cars that are in this condition and not heavily modified is becoming increasingly hard, so do take a good look through the listing.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Alan after meeting Darren the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Hi mate has the car had any welding done to it that your aware of ?
Hi, when I first got the car I removed all the floor carpet to clean it and noticed a couple of bits that needed doing. Very common in these cars are two areas in the front floor pans. I had these two small sections replaced. The whole of the underside of the car was then corrosion treated and in my ownership hasn’t seen a drop of water only polish.
is the defect in the paint on the drivers door filler sinking or a dent ?
do you know when the respray was done ?
thanks
The car was repainted before my ownership so unfortunately I can’t say when the respray was done. The defect around the drivers door was also there when I purchased the car. It has a couple of hairline cracks in the paint around the lock, possibly a theft attempt years ago?
hi
am I right in assuming its not a 90 spec car but had 90 spec parts fitted
thanks
Hi, I bought the car with the 90 Spec interior which from what I have read there were some which had this fitted to 89 spec cars. I added the 90 spec rear spoiler and front bumper a few years ago as I preferred the look. Thanks
