The vendor has provided the following:

• This is my Mk1 Ford Escort RS2000. Olympic Blue. Bought 30 years ago as a project, restored over that time and had:
• A bare metal respray with new decals, mildly modified
  The engine has a 205 later block engine block with a Burton big valve unleaded head, new cam
• Electronic ignition
• New 4 pot front hi spec callipers
• Vented discs
• Anti-dive and double-width kit
• Quick rack
• Rear disc conversion
• Bias pedal box with cable clutch
• .5 RS Ronal 7J alloys with 4-alloy Mk1 centre caps
• Type 9 5 speed gearbox with rose jointed gear, quick shift gear lever with anti-vibration bush
  Bllstein struts and rear shock absorbers, single leaf springs
• Reconditioned radiator, spall fan with manual override on switch panel
• Electronic ignition - new webcon 38DGAS special conversion with natural progression jet, no flat spots on acceleration
• I bought it as a project and have been taking things to pieces, putting them in boxes to clean up and restore or replace over 30 years, working on it when I had the time. It seemed like when I had the time, I didn’t have the money, and when I had the money, I didn’t have the time
• Friends were keen to help and spent many weekends with me
• On the whole, it’s spent much of its life in my garage being pushed in and out to clean and polish. When I do take it out to local classic car meets or just for a drive, I get people honking horns, thumbs up and waving
• When it’s parked up, it gets lots of attention. People gather around chatting and reminiscing about their dad or uncle, who used to have one of these
• To sum up, the car is a good, solid driving car, not built for concourse, but with very good straight lines, good door gaps and professional clean paintwork
• Drives well with lots of torque and puts a smile on your face when changing through the gears. The brakes are new, not properly bedded in yet
• The car has been a big part of my life. It saddens me to part with it after all these years, but it’s time for a new owner to use and appreciate
