Vince Woodman's Ford Escort RS1600 2.0BDG For Sale

This Ford RS1600 Escort XKB353J is an original RS1600 bodyshell, which has been built into a FIA Apppendix K Race car.

Fitted with fresh Ford Cosworth 2. 0 BDG engine on Lucas mechanical fuel injection, this car is in excellent condition as you would expect from such a well known driver, and finished in the famous blue and white VWM Motors colours the car looks fantastic.

Few cars can match the racing pedigree of Ford’s Mk1 Escort, from its early days right until the end of its production, the Escort dominated motorsport both on and off of the asphalt.

Those who know their racing Escorts will likely recognise the distinctive livery of this example as that of Vince Woodman’s Broadspeed built cars. Woodman raced numerous Escorts in the early 70s but the rarest and arguably the most interesting was the works backed Broadspeed example built to take on the 1973 British Saloon Car Championship, on which the car we have for sale is based. Eligible for various Historic Touring Car Championships including Motor Racing Legends, Peter Auto HTC.
