Escort RS Turbo

[adbarns]

Hi,
I have been browsing this forum for quite a while admiring lots of great cars that people on here have. Myself & my brother have always been into our Fords owning a few over the years. This is mine, had it for 13yrs now, spent a few £ on it to get it to how it is now. I really need to start using it more though as I've done less than 1000miles in total. Got a few plans for it over the next few years time & funds permitting. Anyways hope you all like? Cheers Adam

Nice looking RS turbo.
I've had 3 RS turbos over the years and the last one was a G plate 90 spec Mercury grey one! Also had 4 Cossies, 3 Capri 2.8i and 2 XR4i oh and an XR2 and 3i . I was a right Ford RS nut until I went M power about 10 years ago. Can't believe the price of these old fords now! Would love series one turbo for shows.

Wow that is lovely mate, i had a grey one in the past so many great memories and some great summers, shame someone smashed into it i then had a show winning Fiesta RS Turbo,

Like yourself me and my brother had a fair few fast fords around us over the years RS1600i Saf Cosworths etc etc love them and miss them just as much!

Well done mate looks like a cracker and worth a fair few bob now, enjoy it more tho!

Very nice. I do prefer th earlier, squared off model in white please but yours does look very nice

[celger7]

That is a very nice motor!

Lovely! Once my XR2 rebuild is finished I really should get my RS Turbo out of the garage. I stripped it down 3 years ago as it was going to need some welding and a repaint, and that's as far as I got... They're brilliant when set up properly - mine is fairly standard, just a chip, bit more boost and a nice exhaust, running around 160bhp. I prefer the standard wheels though :-)

[Gallons Per Mile]

PS are you still running MFI or converted to EFI? Engine bay pics, please!

[LanceRS]

Very nice, but have you still got the original wheels, rear lights and spot lights for it?

[Mr Tidy]

That looks really clean, but I prefer the standard wheels too!

Must ask my mate about his red Turbo - took it to a track day back in the late 90s and his brother broke the clutch and as far as I know it has sat in a lock-up ever since! Will be very low mileage.

Looks lovely. Black wheels suck though, would look better in silver.

Agree regards the wheels, love the interior so much and I have always liked these, it is in stunning condition and you certainly don't see them around anymore.

Had it that long now prob gona b a keeper 😀. Ur Golfs have always been very tidy, the M3 was mint too. Was back up in bham a few months back & saw the new owner driving round in it. How's things anyways?
