Just like the Lancia Integrale and Subaru Impreza, this was a 'Group A' rally car for the road - pure and simple. It was actually underpinned by a shortened version of the Sierra Cosworth RS Cosworth's platform and powered by the same 2.0-litre turbocharged, longitudinally-mounted, Cosworth-developed engine driving all four wheels. The car was designed and engineered in Boreham, styled by noted designer Stephen Harper, and ended up being assembled by Karmann in Germany. </p><p>At the car's launch in 1994, two models were available, the Club-spec standard car at £21,380 and the Lux version, which included electric windows, heated screen, sunroof, and Recaro seats. Power was up slightly from the Sierra RS Cosworth, at 227bhp, and performance consequently improved. The first 2,500 cars, up to May 1994, suffered from slight turbo-lag, but the next 4,500 were improved, thanks to their smaller Garrett T25 Turbo. In 1995, the RS Cosworth was treated to a mild facelift, receiving a new honeycomb grille, restyled bumpers, a more attractive fascia, and revised alloy wheels. Manufacture continued until early 1996 when emissions regulations forced it out of production. Like pretty much every RS Ford, it was a classic from the moment it arrived on the market. </p><p>This UK-supplied,  RHD Escort RS Cosworth is finished in Imperial Blue Metallic and was pre-registered by Guest Ford. It was initially registered to Ian Guest, the Dealer Principal, for a period of ten days before being delivered to its first keeper, Mr C Foster. During his ownership, it carried the registration number CFF 2 and was to remain in his possession until, with 10,774 miles indicated, it was sold to its second keeper, Mr L Smith, on 26/12/2006.</p><p>Having covered a warranted 13,200 miles this stunning, well cared for RS is now being offered for sale. It will be accompanied by 16 previous MoTs, 4 SORNs, 10 previous tax discs, 3 keys including the red master key, the original Guest Ford key fobs, tax disc holders, handbooks and wallet, service book, previous purchase invoices, service receipts, 'Tracker' documents, and the original V5 showing Ian Guest as first owner for 10 days.</p><p>The car will be recommissioned, serviced, fitted with a new cambelt, and MoT'd before the sale.</p><div><br /></div>
