VEHICLE DESCRIPTION
History Claimed by previous owners to be a pre-production car this certainly is an early car. Used extensively in the 70's & 80's in rallying particularly club motorsport, with a few black & white photo's on file. There is a 5 page magazine article in Retro Cars from September 2010. In there it says the car was restored beginning July 2008 over an 18 month period by DLF Classics in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Taking so long as they wished to source as many original parts as possible. The original shell was also painstakingly repaired & then painted in it's original colour Ford Olympic Blue. Stating in the magazine article that the owners wished to keep it's original shell/chassis due to it's pre-production status & rally history. The car was beleived to have been px'd on a modern car at a modern car dealer in 2008 by Denis Gregory, the person beleived to have used the car for much of it's race history. Mr Gregory from Kettering purchased the car in 1979, making it a 29 year ownership. Mr Gregory was beleived to be the 3rd owner when he bought the car. Condition The car is obviously still in as just restored condition having travelled approximately 1,500 miles since restoration. All the trim is as just re-covered in Beta Cloth. Under bonnet detailing is as the rest of the car with correct air filter, rocker cover & belt cover etc etc. Every time I get an RS Escort MK1 of any type in my garage you can bet it is not here for long. A lovely car with some interesting history & great low ownership. The car has only just arrived 06/05/13 & therefore not had chance to detail the car & photograph. There should be more photos added throughout the week.
