1979 Ford Escort RS2000 Custom

The desirable RS2000 Custom, fully restored by a renowned RS specialist and superbly presented in Signal Amber. It was back in 1970 that Ford introduced their Rally Sport models - the RS range. Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS2000 Mk2 was launched, the term 'RS' had grown to mean something a bit special.In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; 'Fishnet' Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13" alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black.Most recently it's had a new head gasket, water pump, thermostat and a full service. A new clutch was fitted in August and the rear axle overhauled. This striking RS2000 is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner.Specification Make: FORD Model: ESCORT Year: 1979 Chassis Number: GCATWD00972 Registration Number: GWC 90T Transmission: Manual Engine Number: WD00972 Drive Side: Right-hand Drive Odometer Reading: 82607 Miles Make: RHDClick here for more details and images
