For sale my immaculate Sunburst red Escort RS1600I **Sold**
Up for sale is my immaculate Ford escort RS1600i in sunburst red. I love this car and will genuinely be sad to see it go, if it wasnt for just purchasing another Rs then i would 100% be keeping her but i only have a single garage
The car is well known in the RSOC and is a very clean and solid car, there is no rot on this car anywhere at all.
It has recently had a full detail and machine polish and the paintwork looks stunning, it always gets many a compliment and always does well at the various shows its been to. The car is only used on dry days and is covered up in the garage the rest of the time.
The overall condition is excellent, the interior is unmarked and the dash uncracked and mint. The wheels have recently been refurbished and are the correct 16i alloys and are also mint. The car has yokohama tyres with plently of tread remaining.
Spec is as follows:
Engine:
Original cvh rebored to 1700cc
Hicomp pistons
Stage 2 head
Kent fast road cam
Weber twin 40 carbs
Facet fuel pump

Door cars done to match and also the boot has been done to, unmarked 4 spoke rs steering wheel, new tape holder and gearknob fitted, Period radio cassette fitted, 2 sets of mats, new gear gaiter, new pedal rubbers.
Exterior:
The car was repainted to a high standard several years back and still remains in excellent condition, i have recently fitted a new front bumper and new spotlights. All the spoilers/plastics are in excellent condition, new Rs1600i decals fitted since the pictures were taken, new wiper arms and blades,ford mudflaps fitted to rear, new ford electric arial, The underside of the car is very clean as it was restored a few years back and has done very little miles since.

Mileage is 102k, the engine and box etc have done around 5k miles since being rebuilt.

I had several chances to buy this for really great prices before it had the Kev Flatman makeover.
LPX has always been a lovely car and it looks like a bargain for somebody, wish I had the room
