RS Ready

[MarcB]

Escort booked for its MOT this sat coming so thought i would sort it out today along with putting my clio away in the garage.

Took it out the carcoon and then fitted a new battery, Left it running for 40mins and now its ready for sat.

 

[AdDaMan]

Wow. that looks impressively mint!

 

[matt91]

[Adamm.]

The carcoon is amazing and it offers full protection against the elements

• Isolate from the constantly changing temperature and humidity of the ambient environment.
• Stabilise by removing excess moisture, fuel/oil vapour and other contaminates from within the mini environment.
• Ventilate using the patented Active Airflow Concept.
• Circulate the air isolated within, by using Activated Carbon Filters under pressure.

Milage is around 60K

cheers i know the car now you've linked it to the other thread.

that carcoon sounds like a tidy bit of kit

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

I want that car! Lovely mate

 

[.GAZ.]

I want first refusal on this.

 

[Andy93]

I need an RS turbo in my life

 

[Matt350.]

That is a lovely example of an RST, very nice indeed :hail:

Ha Ha Ha, I promise i will bring it to knock hill next year for you gaz to look at. Mind you cant touch it and there is a 2 foot radius you must stick too

 

[Robiniho77]

Wow,

That is very very nice!

I know of 2 RS turbo's:

1. is sat rotting on my friends neighbours drive I have to drive past it every time I go round.

2. is running around Hedge end near Southampton with a cage and flames on gear changes. Its frighteningly quick. Came past my friends 200bhp ibiza tdi like we were in 6th doing 30...

Would love to own one one day! But only in this condition.

Always wanted an RS Turbo, test drove one 15 years ago with a view to buy but insurance was prohibitive ... Lovely looking car, have you thought about putting the original wheels back on?

 

[MarcB]

There is only 3 mods to this which are as follows, Everything else is how it came out the factory with the original paintwork also.

1, 17" Ford RS Softline 7 Spokes
2, Bailey Dump Valve
3, Stainless 4" Mongoose Exhaust System

The original Escort RS wheels are sitting in the garage with tyres but for me the 17" softlines just make it more OOOFFFT IMO

 

[Crybert]

Will these rise much in price? Great stuff, it does look mint.

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks fantastic!

Valued @ £9K last year through the RS owners club and insurance company.

Looks fantastic!

Thanks Mate

 

[cat171]

love this car, owned a white one about 12 years ago, used to get a lot of attention, always put a smile on my face when it came on boost, sold it for more than i paid for it. was a car i always wanted to own and glad i did. the only thing i dont like on this car is the clear indicators on the front, i prefer the original ambers, other than that its simply stunning.

 

[BREMBO]

Love that, also love the barn/garage. Its not ECP is it?

 

[Fred@BTM]

i spy dirt!

 

[MarcB]

Nope not ECP , All mine and nothing to do with anyone else, Not rented or on loan.

i spy dirt!

If you mean the black under the bonnet its not dirt, its wax oil as the car has been wax oiled in the wings, bulk head, chassis legs and everywhere you can fit a hose.

Think I saw that in hedge end mcds a couple months back.

 

[RallyeSportLee]

Nice S2, a good S2 is climbing up in value now...Deffo needs Ambers and spot lights (If it hasn't got them already?)

I am a massive Ford fan, my uncle had a mint Red S2 back when I was a kid, used to love going init, I used to clean it for him more times than he did lol

I was hooked after he owned one and always wanted one ever since

 

[MarcB]

Yeah its got Front Spots.

Look at the link on page one and you will see better pictures of the car

 

[Inequality Street]

Had to find this thread as I saw you post a picture in the carcoon thread.. But all pics gone :-(
