A Properly Sorted Legend. The Ford Escort RS2000 remains one of the defining fast Fords of its era. Launched at the height of Britain's love affair with rally-bred performance, the RS2000 offered speed, style, and usability in one irresistible package. When cars like this are carefully restored and sympathetically kept, they transport us straight back to a golden age.
Many lose their character along the way, but not this one. With a superb body restoration, full mechanical overhaul and an interior that remains true to its factory form, this RS2000 Custom is the real deal.
