Default S2 Escort RS Turbo

Hello chaps, I'll be selling my RS Turbo in January and was wondering if anyone could give me a bit of guidance. I'll be completely honest with you, I'm not really car savvy and have basically copied this list from the previous owner, if anyone wants to come and have a look and a prod they're more than welcome. I'd also be grateful for any guidance on pricing (I'm hoping you'll forgive me for my lack of knowledge).

Engine Spec
•Standard 1600 Bottom End with ARP bolts
•Stage 3 Ported and Polished Head
•Kent CVH34 Camshaft
•Reconditioned Stage 2 T3 Turbo
•Silver Bailey Dumpvalve
•Superchip
•Large front mount GRS Intercooler
•2.5” bore, full Magnex Exhaust System with 4” tailpipe
•Standard Radiator
•Standard Escort S2 Gearbox
•K&N Air filter
•Bonnet Raisers with ‘Ford Racing’ engraved in them
•Blue Magnecor 8mm HT Leads
•Other various engine detailing

Interior
•Recaro 90 spec seats (front and back)
•4 Spoke RS Turbo steering wheel
•White Lockwood dials
•White heater control dials
•Carbon effect 2 hole gauge holder
•TIM turbo boost gauge
•Pioneer Head unit
•Red Gear Knob
•Sunroof in working order, electric windows
•Chrome ‘RS Turbo’ kickplates
•5” infinity speakers with custom made pods

Bodywork
•90 spec rear spoiler
•80 spec front bumper with intercooler cut-out
•Bonnet with Ford logo removed and smoothed
•Dark Smoke rear clusters
•Clear Side Indicator covers
•Clear Side Repeaters

Wheels, Suspension and Brakes
•Diamond White 15” RS Wheels
•Koni adjustable shocks all round
•60mm Pi rear springs, 35mm Pi front springs fitted
•EBC 283mm 2wd Cosworth brake disks

Security
•Clifford 600 alarm with full closure, central locking, immobiliser etc.

The car was rolling road setup about 8 months ago and the engine was producing 217.7HP at the flywheel with printout to prove results with torque of 216lbs ft @ 18psi max boost.

The car has also just had a new head done and will be going back on the rolling road for a final tune up in January.

There are a few paint chips on the front bumper and the drivers door has faded slightly, I'll try and get some better pics up in due course.

I've owned the car for around 3 years and am selling due to the fact I'm moving to Australia in about 7 months time, and as you can imagine, using an RS Turbo as your daily driver doesn't help you save money! Thanks in advance.

I would say £2.5-3.5 its got a lot of stuff on it and looks tidy.
Some people would be interested in how many owners and service history and paper work ect.
Looks good

Looking at the mods and if the shell is a reasonably clean tidy one then between £2500-3000 as it looks tidy but depends what the sills, chassis, floors, arches etc are like for rust and rot but certainly worth more than 1500 mate

If its solid with no rot i'd say a minimum of £2.5k but more like £3.5 to the right buyer
