Description

Finished in its factory correct Ford Mercury Grey, this 1989 Escort RS Turbo Series 2 presents in exceptional condition throughout. The paintwork displays a deep, even gloss across every panel, beautifully accentuating the sharp creases and purposeful lines that define the RS Turbo's unmistakable 1980s silhouette. The metallic finish remains vibrant and consistent, reflecting careful ownership and sympathetic preservation. All body panels sit straight and true, with precise and uniform shut lines that speak to both original factory build quality and the car's well-maintained life. The factory-correct decals and RS badging remain present, crisp, and correctly positioned, retaining their clarity and contrast against the Mercury Grey paint. The integrated aerodynamic body styling including the distinctive front spoiler, side skirts, and rear valance is presented in excellent condition, free from distortion, scuffs, or damage. The subtle yet purposeful body kit enhancements remain sharply defined, reinforcing the RS Turbo's aggressive stance while preserving its originality. At the front, the factory headlamps and auxiliary driving lamps remain in place, their lenses clear and free from cracks, chips, or clouding. The grille, bumpers, and exterior trim pieces retain a rich, even finish, showing none of the fading or deterioration often associated with cars of this era. The contrast between the dark trim elements and the Mercury Grey paintwork further enhances the car's authentic period presence. All glazing appears to be original specification, with correct factory etchings visible throughout. Window surrounds and door seals remain supple and well preserved, sitting neatly against the bodywork and maintaining the car's tight, well-kept appearance. Overall, this RS Turbo's exterior is a superb example of how a low-mileage, carefully owned car should present. Clean, sharply defined, and unmistakably late eighties in character, it stands as a genuine survivor an increasingly rare opportunity to acquire an unspoiled icon from Ford's golden era of performance hatchbacks No mods original throughout Complete with original dealer book pack, full service history 3 previous owners and just over 38000 miles from new Full mot upon sale
