Hi All

Selling my 1988 E Reg radiant red Escort RS Turbo S2.

Despite buying this car 2 years ago to do track days (bought the beast you'll see on my avatar which I am now racing) I never got round to using it, need the room so now has to go within the next 7 days.

Bought the car on Ebay initially with the intention of using the motorsport engine in my Son's Escort Cosworth replica, realised very quickly that it was too fast for an inexperienced driver and the car was far too good to break. Knew it would be an animal on the track and intended to go full race spec but now I'm racing the Elise there is no point in keeping hold of it.

Engine rebuilt by Glynn Odell, ex A1 Rallysport, rated at 210 bhp at 7 psi for reliability, so potential to go a great deal more. This car is seriously quick, definitely quicker than my stage 1 275bhp Sapphire I had a couple of years ago and almost as quick as my 450bhp Sapphire I have now!!!!

Full spec and pictures as below.

5000 miles since full engine rebuild by Odell Motorsport to racing standards.

Ported and gas flowed head.

Kent race cam.

Reconditioned Garrett T3

-31 Acuator

Mahle low compression race pistons

Group A head gasket

K & N cone filter

Chromed crossover pipe

Chromed throttle body plate

Chromed Ignition coil holder

ECU superchipped

Sierra Cosworth front brakes

4 inch scorpion stainless steel exhaust

New G Max suspension lowered 25mm

2 x Thatcham immobilisers

Pioneer head unit

Paintwork is in very good condition for year, tiny amount of rust as detailed below, all panels look original, wings have correct date stamps, no dents but a few stone chips which is only to be expected for a 18 year old car.

Last MOT in February 2005, only done a couple of hundred miles since, will MOT for 12 months next week.

Not much history with car, as I said bought from Ebay for engine alone, I'm sure that Glynn Odell will be able to confirm the spec of the engine, I understand that it was a friend of Glynn's that had the work done.

I'm looking for £1,950 ono, bear in mind that to rebuild a race engine to this spec would cost you well over £2000. With a fifth injector and increased boost this car would be a match for anything on the track, even beating my Elise, the car is alraedy too fast for the road in my opinion.
Handles extremely well on the lowered G Max suspension.

Have to sell quickly so if no interest in the next few days will go on Ebay.

If your interested PM me or ring me (David) on 07957418658.

Car is in Enfield North London and can be viewed most days as I work from home.

Thanks for looking













Only bad points are a small amount of rust on front of bonnet (cant find any other rust which is amazing), the drivers seat bolster needs repaired (easily and cheaply replaced I understand)and a couple of the alloys need refurbed (again wheels are readily available for about £20), pics below
