The famous RS badge is only fitted to the quickest and driver-focused models in the Ford line-up - the Escort RS Turbo is no exception.
The Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 1 is a performance model of the Escort Mk3. The car was turbocharged and very well equipped with alloy wheels, limited-slip differential and Recaro seats.
Only 5,000 cars were produced and they were all finished in white, apart from 1 - Lady Diana's, which was black and built especially for her.
This example is coming out of ~9 years ownership, with a fully rebuilt engine and only ~63,000 miles on the clock. Andy, the owner was keen to keep the car all original and is looking for a likeminded escort fan to take over his ownership.
This auction listing was written from information supplied by Jacob after meeting Andy the owner, and having visited and photographed the vehicle.

Andy gave this very special Escort RS Turbo a new lease of life.
After Andy sold his Sierra Cosworth he was looking for a car just as special to fill the space in his garage and came across this lovely Series 1 Escort RS Turbo.
Andy purchased the car in 2012, and since has had the engine rebuilt, a new gearbox fitted, new springs, performance exhaust, and constant maintenance to keep it in the condition you see today.
He was set on keeping the car as original as he could, mentioning that far too many of these have lost their special touch due to modifications.
Over Andy's ownership, he has only done around ~4,000 miles on the clock, around half of those on the new engine and he can often be found at any Escort/Classics shows.
Due to purchasing a new car, Andy is looking for a likeminded buyer to take on the responsibility of owning one of these rare gems. He will be more than happy to answer any of your questions in the comments below.
The diamond white paintwork, large rear spoiler and motorsport alloy wheels really make this Escort stand out.
The RS Turbo shared the alloy wheels from the limited production RS 1600i, they look the part and really give the car that extra presence.
Each wheel is in excellent condition with no marking or kerbing observed on our visit, the full-size spare in the boot has a few minor marks.
The tyres also are in great condition with plenty of tread for the new owner.
A race derived stance and body on this Escort RS Turbo. The extra trim in the shape of front splitter, wheel arches and spoiler make it look like a totally different car to the standard Mk3 Escort.
Having been dry stored and only covering ~63,000 miles, the bodywork is in great condition. Just a few areas we noticed some bubbling from corrosion, the bottom of both doors as pictured.
Please take a detailed look at this Escort RS Turbo in the images and videos to really appreciate the car.
Finished in Diamond White, a favourite choice from Ford. 4,999 models were produced in this colour, with only one specially produced in black for Lady Diana.
Across the car, the paint looks really great. No areas of dullness or discolouration were observed. On the extra trim the car comes with, you'll see some age/stress related crazing. Watch the video review to see the full detail.
All in excellent and original condition, a really nice example, the rubber trim all looks good and in line with its age and mileage.
We even noticed it's original main dealer sticker on the back window is still fully intact - showings its originality.
The Recaro seats with distinctive blue piping offer performance and comfort in this little turbo.
The Recaro bucket seats grab and hold you into the car, you'll know that any corner you approach these seats will comfortably hold you in place.
Both seats look in great condition in line with its mileage and age - we love the blue pipping that make them stand out.
The car is also fitted with RS owners club carpets, that similarly are in great condition.
As you would expect, everything is fully original here. With just over ~63,000 miles on the clock, this dashboard is in line with its age and mileage.
Andy has kept the interior of this car in great condition. Please take a look at the detailed photos and videos for a closer look around this car.
A minimal and driver-focused steering wheel can be found inside this Escort Turbo RS.
The gear stick and steering wheel are in excellent condition as you can see.
Please take look at the detailed photos and videos for a tour of the interior.
Raspy exhaust notes combined with a characterful whistle from its turbo makes this one of the best sounding classics from the '80s.
This is one of the fastest hot hatches of its day, the RS was purely developed with motorsport in mind.
The engine was fully reconditioned in 2012 at 58,362 miles. Andy will be more than happy to answer any of your questions about the engine in the comments below.
Please take a look at the cold-start video to see the car starting without any issues.
Uprated suspension and larger brakes were fitted to tame this turbo at speeds. Andy has always had the suspension and brakes attended to regularly and when required.
The car had lower springs when Andy first purchased. Andy, replaced with its originals to bring back the original sporty stance.
A true experience, Andy rarely takes this car out, when he does it's normally to either to shows or the track - he mentions how well it drives and handles.
The Ford Escort RS Turbo was the first-ever front-wheel-drive car to get a limited-slip diff. The 1.6L engine was turbocharged offering you 132bhp. Not only does the car sound incredible and look great, driving this will blow you away - built purely with motorsport in mind.
Nice to see the original interior in this '80s classic. - The car retains its original tape player and other electrics that really keep this car genuine - this example is the talk of any car show.
A cracking example; rebuilt engine, sitting on the correct suspension, ~63,000 miles covered, lovely original interior.
Andy has been meticulous when it comes to maintaining this car's history. Everything is very well categorised and detailed with all the work carried out since 1985.
Probably the most important work was carried out in 2012 when the engine was reconditioned, a new cambelt, water pump, alternator belt, intercooler, radiator, and oil pump was fitted. In addition to this, in 2013 a new turbo was fitted.
We've carried out checks on; Seller ID, V5, HPi clear.

hi antony
It is very genuine milage but its 63k not 67k
Regards andy
Is the car completely standard apart from the exhaust?
Andy have you had any bodywork/paint done to the rs in your ownership??
And is there any really bad signs of DIY paint on it??
Cheers..matt..
Hi matt
I had the front spoiler resprayed professionally due to stone chips
About 8 years ago
I was considering having the small areas attended too last year but with COVID-19 it never got done this car has never seen a welder in my time and has no signs in the past
With the work no done last year it shows you in its original condition
Hope this helps
Kind regards
Andy
Thanks Andy..so theres no signs of poor welding by previous owners your saying?
Hi matt
There signs of welding good or bad
Regards andy
Sorry matt there are no signs of welding good or bad
Regards abdy
Matt take a close look at the photos you can see there’s numerous poor rattle can spray jobs over the car you can see the drips around where patches of rust.
Yh rich think its obvious it needs a paint job..which not the end of the world but more worried about previous bad welding an any rot underneath..been looking for one of these for a while now an minters are 35k + as we all know so its priced right as it is i think..
Hi, this car has had the clocks changed hence the mileage discrepancy. Also this car has had a lot of welding done to it and covered up with paint which has not been done to a good standard at all. Also it’s had various areas on the body painted with a spray can again not a very good job. I know this as I went to view it years ago but walked away.
Please can I ask why this isn’t mentioned on the advert as it’s misleading?
Is that true thanks you just saved me a few quid
Yes that’s true and definitely not original, its definitely been sprayed over with a spray can to try and cover it up but haven’t done a good job of trying to cover it up and hide it
Hi Paul
During my ownership of 10 years my car I hasn’t had any welding done and iam sure it hasn’t had any done by the previous owners
I have referred on the mot milage in my previous comments
This is the first and only time I have put my car up for sale in 10 years
Hi, yes it was around 10 years ago I viewed it and it was in a very poor state. If I remember rightly the engine was knackered on it too
Think your trying to put others off mate to nip in yourself lol…already stated its had a full engine rebuild so clocks being changed don’t really matter either!
No not at all, just stating that the car has had poor welding done and covered up. Just don’t want someone to think they were getting an original untouched example as they’re not and the description is misleading
I understand paul yh..Where was the poor welding mate on the floor??
Hi, could you explain the discrepancy in mileage when the clocks went back to zero at around 50k miles?
Hi
I can’t explain the reason for the milage variation as at the time I didn’t own the car
It looks like the testing station may have entered the incorrect milage as the later mots milage was back on track with the annual average milage activity back in line with previous years and since
Hope this helps
Regards andy
Looks like the clocks were changed in 2002 as the the MOT states just 800 miles and the MOT in 2001 states 50k so the true mileage in 113k and not the misleading 63k.
Hi andy
Did you do the rebuild of the engine or did you have it done for you? An if so have you got receipts for the work done..
Regards Matt..
Hi matt
It was rebuilt professionally I still have the receipt for the work £5239.66 plus new turbo and gear box
Hope this help
Regards andy
Hi, is it possible to view the car at all before the auction ends?
Many thanks, Alan
Hi Alan, yes indeed. Please give us a call on 01926 426 635 and we will help organise this with a time that suits Andy. Best, Kulraj – Trade Classics
