Description

1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 - Fully Restored | Stunning Example Here's a rare chance to own one of the true legends of '80s performance motoring - the 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1. With its unmistakable styling, turbocharged performance, and raw analogue driving experience, this car is an absolute icon and a dream for any RS enthusiast. Finished in its original Diamond White, this RS Turbo is a real head-turner. It retains all the key period-correct details (bar the exhaust), including the full factory bodykit, signature RS alloy wheels, and the original grey Recaro interior - the hallmarks of what makes this model so collectible and desirable. * Full restoration completed in 2018 - bodywork, paint, mechanicals, suspension, and interior * Superbly presented throughout - engine bay, underside, and cabin all in excellent condition * Original factory spec preserved (excluding exhaust) * Bright, blemish-free bodywork - gleams from every angle * Interior in fantastic shape - a few age-related cracks on the dash (pictured) * Partial history - includes MOTs, receipts, photos, and original booklets * Always garaged and driven sparingly since restoration This RS Turbo is more than just a showpiece - it's a car that drives as well as it looks. Tight, responsive, and full of character, it delivers that raw RS feeling that modern cars simply can't match. As someone who's previously owned two Series 2 RS Turbos, owning a Series 1 was always a personal goal. Sadly, due to ongoing back and shoulder issues, I'm no longer able to enjoy the car as I had hoped - so it's time to pass it on to someone who can. If you're looking for a well-sorted, beautifully presented RS Turbo S1 with serious collector appeal, this one ticks all the boxes. Serious enquiries only, please
