Escort RS Turbo for sale
Clocks say 46k, I assume this is incorrect but cannot verify.
Loads of history/receipts with the car
Did have a 1.8 ZVH but water got into the inlet and hydrolocked it So, I've picked up a spare 1.6CVH engine to put in.

Has K&N filter
Baily breather
Piper 285 cam
Samcos
Baily DV
Chrome bits and bobs
Full scorpion stainless (with manifold and downpipe wrapped)
Turbo looks to be a hybrid, but not sure on spec
Chipped ECU
Set at 11psi and holds boost well
Koni shocks and springs
90 spec interior but drivers seat is grubby with rip on bolster
Standard wheels with lots of tread all round
Shell is nice and solid underneath
Slight bubbling around the sunroof

Basically just looking to get my money back on it

£1700.00 takes it

Car is located in Manchester

Cheers fella.

Like I said, I wont sugar coat it and say its concourse because it isnt. But with a bit of work, this could be a great motor

There is nothing worse than going to see a mint car to find its a bag of shit. Been there, done that.

As said, its an honest, clean car. With a little work, could be mint. I've just lost heart with it and going back to french

Are you planning on putting the engine in pre sale or just selling it with it loose?

That looks tempting if it runs right when done.

I'm not after a project or a headache, but don't want/need something concourse either.

It will run fine dude. Obviously I would always recommend a set up before driving it hard.

Engine is in now, jist got to plumb the pipes up and plug sensors on. Had to stop today though due to my glass back, lol

Seats. Have been swapped driver for passenger. Probs could do with a new drivers seat tbf. Rears are mint though

Series 1 steering wheel, white dials and boostgauge

Now, I have been as honest as I can be. I think this car is worth £1500 all day long. Its a runner, it has a long test on it and a couple of moths tax.

A few hundred throwing at this, and someone will have a decent motor.

Available for viewing now.

No test pilots, unless you bring proof of a traders policy, as the vehicle is no longer insured and "I am fully comp on mine" will not cut the mustard
