I bought this 1980 Ford Escort Mk2 rs2000 custom in 1982 with c.22,000 miles. It was/is used infrequently during the summer months, and has never been used in the other 9 months during my ownership. In 1985, I modified it in order to keep performance on a par with mk3 rs turbos; fitting genuine 'X' pack accessories; ie german 'big valve' head, 44 idf downdraughts, steel crank, balanced & lightened rods, quick rack, single piece prop shaft, bilsteins, stiffer springs etc. It now has covered some 34k (genuine) miles, and has covered around 1,000 miles in 10 years. It is a 'practical classic', reliable, fun and highly recommended to novice and older! enthusiest alike, and easy to maintain. ***** star. Offers...? NO WAY !!
