Default 96 Weber converted Escort Cosworth

After much consideration the time has come for me to sell my beloved Escort RS Cosworth.

The car was imported from the isle of Man in 2008 and has covered a very low 49k. The car benifits from being HPI clear and has lots of old History and recepts including original sale's documents going back to when the car was bought new. The Car is one of the very last made having an SP build code and only 3 previous owners listed on the logbook.

a big factor for me when I bought the car was that it had a big turbo weber conversion carried out using an L8 ECU so effectivly having the best of both the big turbo and small turbo Escort Cosworth's included.

The spec is as follows

L8 ECU with custom MSD chip tailored to my exact engine spec.

Green Injectors

3 bar map sensor

6 month old T34 Turbo with 360 degree thrust bearing

GRP A Coil

RS500 intercooler

Alloy Radiator

new motorsport leads

Full sensor kit from matt lewis Motorsport

konis

Stainless Exhaust

Carbon turbo heat sheild supplied (not yet fitted), front splitter and hockey sticks

The car was set up and given a full engine health check by Will pedley at the beginning of the month which it passed with flying colours the power guestimate was around the 330BHP mark.

The overall condition of the car is very good as shown in the photo's and it is not one of those Cosworth's that has been apart a million times or made up of parts which I seem to be seeing more of lately. This is a very genuine car and drives well.

This is a very reluctant sale and it is due to a possible business venture I have planned which needs funding. There is no doubt a lot I have missed so please pm with any questions

I will consider a pex on a Manual Bmw E46 M3 or Focus RS upto 8k to help a potential buyer.

The car is located in Southampton and I am looking for £13500
