1980 RS2000 Custom Mk2, Genuine 31,000 miles, all MOTs SOLD

FORD ESCORT RS2000 MK2 Custom 1980. Private Sale.
Numbers matching. Genuine 32, 311 miles.
A true survivor – the last of the proper RS’s

Original standard car. All original bodywork including original wings, all original glass and original tinted windscreen. A very 'honest' car as they say! (No, I'm not a dealer!).

No welding. Not played with. MOT until September 2016.

This car has benefited from being registered with the RS Owners Club (RSOC) and is only one of nine Terracotta RS2000’s on their records.

As the current Owner I've undertaken a very sympathetic upgrade, with the original parts being retained for providence and prosperity.

Lots of history, all old MOT’s from 1984, lots of receipts.

My RS was bought new from the Ford Main Dealer ‘TRICENTROL’and comes complete with their original Sales Brochure included.

Features:
Very rare original RS Recaro fishnet seats. 
Dash Clock
New, un-cracked dashboard.   
Rare six-figure number plate.
New steering rack (2. 5 quick-rack).
Completely poly-bushed (black ones)
Newly re-cut RS alloys painted in the correct original colour.
No speaker cutouts in the rear parcel shelf.
Shod with new and correct Michelin tyres (including spare).
New adjustable AVO rear shocks, and front inserts with 145lb coil springs.
New old-stock heater motor and new old-stock windscreen wiper motor fitted.
Brand-new 32/ 36 DGAV Weber carburettor.
Original RS-stamped big bore exhaust manifold.
New limited-edition exhaust made to the original RS spec.

Stage One cylinder head with Kent FR30 camshaft. (NB: When the new Stage One cylinder head and camshaft were fitted (the original head and camshaft are fine) as the car had been sitting for some time, we took the opportunity to also lightly refresh the engine block. This work was undertaken by John Jenkins of Jenkins Motor Engineers in Twickenham, who have had over 50 years-experience in engine care). As a result, she now runs happily on standard unleaded fuel.

Very original throughout: factory headlights with original glass, PDI stickers in the boot, you can lift up the carpets to see the original soundproofing, paint and panel sealing all still in place - no rusty or welded floors here!

This vehicle comes complete with all MOT’s from it’s very first one in March 1984 up to the present day, and all receipts are also included from its previous owner.

Most original RS2000s Mk1s and Mk2s have suffered abuse, have been played with, or have suffered damage so written-off, or have had non-standard upgrades. But not this one. This is a very rare, standard trim Mk2 RS2000 Custom – very honest and not a trailer queen. My RS2000 has all its original panels – note the original Ford Part Numbers in place on its front wings, carrying an irreplaceable patina to its mostly original paintwork.

Any part that has been replaced or upgraded has been to the original spec and done so by its present owner (who has been a true RS enthusiast for many years and member of the RSOC) in order to preserve the cars originality. Most of these old parts (listed below) have been kept for the next RS enthusiast lucky enough to own her.

This RS2000 is an exceptional and original example of the last of the true RS’s. With fun written all over her – even The Professionals drove one back in the 70’s! It can only go up in value. But as an appreciating asset it is also one which you can also take out to drive and enjoy - anytime you want. Very easy to drive - you'll want to take her out all the time. I wish I could!

The Mk1/ Mk2 RS Escorts dominated world rallying in the hands of the masters: Roger Clark, Ari Vatanen, Russel Brooks to name but a few during 1968-1981…. Even beating the four-wheel drive Audi in its initial outing.
