Escort Cosworth Monte 014/200 Harvey Gibbs/AB 375BHP engine
Right its been bought to my attention the old "For Sale" thread had become a little confusing, being 3 pages long etc, so I thought it best to start a fresh!!
Ford Escort RS Cosworth ‘MONTE’ Number 014/200
1 of 74 right hand drive limited run commemorative Monte editions, now becoming extremely rare.
Build date commenced February 1994. Registered 1st August 1994, making this car one of the very last Large Turbo models.
I have owned this car since August 2002, after a long search to find the right one, in that time I have covered approximately 15,000 miles.
There are two previous owners, NEITHER were a main dealer, the second had owned the car from May 1996.
I have contact details available for both (to serious interested parties only).
Two A4 binders contain a FULL detailed and concise history totaling in the region of £25k in receipts and invoices including all previous MOT’s, detailing the 112k mileage.
A further £8-9k (PLUS Labour) has been spent on the car since June 2005, due to a melted piston.
Extremely well cared for throughout its life, I would suggest the car could safely be described as in immaculate condition throughout.
HPI Clear.
Never been welded, never been involved in an accident.
MOT till April 2007
Any inspection welcome (I have access to a ramp so car can be viewed in the air too)

You sound like me, I was looking at pics from a car show last Sept, E38, my car had For Sale signs in it then, kept changing my mind
Look forward to the feature, Im sure plenty of people would like to see yours at the shows as well
