$70000 is 28,000 pounds WOW I only paid $36,000 for mine with 8777 miles on the clock. I had better get my agreed value insurance raised.

Hello all,

Greetings from NZ etc, Just joined as i have just got an Falcon XR6 as a company car.

This is for sale just round the corner from my work. If i had'nt sunk all a small fortune into my Skyline (and if i had the cash!) i would snap this up. I've always loved the Escort RS Cosworth.

Its the only Escort Cosworth i've seen in NZ since i came here 2.5 years ago. Now i see it everyday!!

Deffo a motorsport, very rare infact. Has had a few minor mods like the wing mirrors, colour coded front spoilers and the rear brake light in the spoiler. Also the Recaros and centre console have been added at some stage.

I would love to have a motorsport, the ulitmate poverty spec

The 3rd brakelight is a modifcation that had to be done to get compliance.

I've just been and seen this, its an absolute minter. Not a single scratch, dent or anything on it.

Whoever buys it is going to get a very sweet car. Only downside is that it has big "Escort RS Cosworth" decals on the doors and sun-strip. Still mint though.

It is a Recce car for ford motorsport. I saw it in new zealand years ago, Ford imported to New Zealand to do checks on stages for the WRC events. Would be a very nice car to have and also be very rare.

Exchange rate is very in favour of the pound right now as well. I would be surprised if this Cossie is a Recce car, it looks brand new. Albeit it has probably had a damn good clean.
