Ford Escort 1989 - RS1600 Turbo 3dr

Ford Escort RS Turbo with 5800 miles from new. This car was previously sold by Iconic Auctioneers at which point it was a world record sale, and more than we are advertising it for now. The current owner has a small private collection and is taking a different direction with his collection, so he has asked us to market the car on his behalf. The car was first supplied by E Ward Wellingborough to the first owner on the 05/01/1989 in Radiant Red with Zolda cloth interior.It was initially registered to the first owner's company, then the car was re-registered in his own name on the same day. Used sparingly by his wife until her passing in 2007 and thereafter dry stored until 2015 having covered some 5,000 milesThe car was consigned by the first owner in August of 2015 to Silverstone Auctions (now Iconic Auctioneers) and sold. The next owner went right through the car, included a professional respray and underside detailing.It comes with a well stamped service book, handbooks, receipts, photo album and historic MOTs, the most recent of which is valid until January 2026.Beautifully presented and perhaps the finest example available with just 5,673 recorded miles from new, we welcome any inspection. The service book documents the mileage until 2007 and the MOT history goes from 2006 until present.
