The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 17th May 2025

86 The Iconic Sale at Supercar Fest 2025 Cars The car presented here is a 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth, in the striking and sought after paint colour of Pacifica Blue (Code J2), one of five launch colours chosen by Ford to showcase their new ‘halo’ model. This example was specified from new with the ‘Lux’ pack, adding Recaro seats (the more expensive perforated Raven leather upholstery, Code LW, option here), opening rear quarter windows, electrically operated and heated door mirrors, ‘Quickclear’ heated windscreen, heated washer jets, 3-spoke leather covered steering wheel, central double locking, tailgate release, lights on warning, rear centre armrest, rear head restraints, sunroof and electric windows - plus the factory option of genuine Ford floormats which are the ultra-rare high specification in deep blue to complement the exterior finish, whilst an owner has added the subtle additions of a Magnex stainless steel exhaust system, a Sigma Category 1 alarm system and genuine Ford headlamp protectors. It was built at the Rhein Assembly Plant in Germany in November 1992 and registered new on 15th January 1993, making it one of the highly collectible 2,500 ‘Big Turbo’ homologation specials on a ‘K-registration’. It was supplied new by Ford RS Dealer, Tony Brooks of Weybridge, with their dealership rear screen sticker and tax discs holder still affixed, whilst the bookpack still contains the original staff business cards and dealer keyrings, always a good sign! The accompanying history file suggests diligent ownership and is as complete as possible for a 32 year old car. The paperwork is meticulously presented in individual folders, with chronologically filed service invoices and virtually every MOT Certificate, whilst the original service book contains 14 stamped entries. The car’s previous owner was Vice Chairman of the Hertfordshire and North London RS Owners Club and also present is a separate file housing all the RS Owners Club membership documentation and multiple agreed valuations, the most recent being £82,000 in 2021. Within the file are copies of Practical Classics and Fast Ford magazines where this actual car, chosen for its amazing condition and provenance, feature in a detailed Buyers’ Guide and its three original keys including the master blade further emphasise the Escort’s delightful originality. Servicing is fully up to date, with a cam belt change completed in June 2022. This is an exceptional Ford in every respect, undoubtedly ‘collector quality’, with just a single previous recorded owner, continuous upkeep, servicing and storage by Ford marque enthusiasts and a low but useable mileage, ensuring it can still be ‘exercised’ on the right days, reminding its lucky owner just how well they perform and why they have become so sought after. In the rare and desirable signature launch colour of Pacifica Blue, this below 25,000 miles, one former keeper, ‘Big Turbo’ Lux model is undoubtedly ‘collector quality’.
