Hi,
Just bought this S2, as wanted to stay on the RS scene after selling my Escort Cosworth to fund a new house
Hope you like


















Was told leather was fitted by Fords as First owner requested it

Cheers guys, Cars around the 200bhp mark, so im told.
It has had a lot of money spent on it by the 2nd to last owner, BUT he did not look after it & after constant thrashing wrecked the box
Car also had other problems & he was going to break the car

A middleaged man from Leeds bought the car back in 2002 & for 18 months slowly got the jobs done, quite alot The las 2 years he has hardly used the car covering just over 1000 miles.

This car still needs some work to get it back to good tho, New battery tray is getting fitted next week, as this one is quite bad
Also when box was rebuilt, the paddle cluch was thrown out & a std Luc clutch was fitted , but car is still around the 200bhp mark. As the Older man never used it much or went over 70 in it no probs, but when i drove it home it was slipping on boost & smelling
Not a problem, as i will replace it. Alround the car is a good solid base to start & will make a nice example when ive done with it
