Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 2

THE 80s TURBO ICON – FORD ESCORT RS TURBO SERIES 2 🇬🇧🔥

Boosted, brash and unmistakably 80s, the Escort RS Turbo was Ford’s answer to the hot hatch wars – a turbocharged, limited-slip-equipped Escort that became one of the defining performance cars of the decade. The Series 2 refined the formula with a sharper look and a stronger engine, and today clean, original examples are some of the most sought-after fast Fords of their era.

This example is a genuine garage find. Discovered after a period in storage, it was recommissioned and returned to the road, and it now presents well throughout in classic Diamond White with cloth Recaro sports seats – exactly how an RS Turbo should look.

It has been subtly upgraded too, with a Kent Cams Performance Kit fitted in 2005 that sharpens the turbocharged CVH while keeping its period character. Backed by a history file packed with maintenance invoices and receipts collected over the years, and covering just 64,570 miles in 37 years, this is a proper slice of 80s Ford performance.

Here’s why this Escort RS Turbo is such a GEM:
