- NOW SOLD - Original AVO Type 49 UK car
• Rotisserie Restoration to the highest standard
• Last enthusiast owner of 20 years
• Type 9 5 speed gearbox conversion
• Immaculate inside and out
According to the AVO build plate this is a UK supplied RS2000 built in May 1974. Originally finished in Diamond White the car was delivered with cigar lighter, temperature gauge, reversing lights, hazard warning lights, heated rear window, alternator and a pre engaged starter motor.
In 1999, the previous owner took delivery of a very tired RS 2000 and embarked on a mission to build himself the best RS 2000 possible. Thankfully, he was no stranger to high quality workmanship as he worked in the bodyshop of one of the most highly regarded Formula 1 teams in the world. However this was no mean feat, like most Escorts 20 years ago the car had deteriorated into a very poor condition.
Firstly, the car was fully dismantled and it was decided to have the bodyshell and panels dry stripped by the plastic media process. Corroded areas were then abrasive blasted and subsequently coated with a phosphate base anti rust coating. Then followed the lengthy process of repairing all areas of concern on the bodyshell, a photographic record of this time intensive process is with the car clearly showing the quality of workmanship - as much care was taken to the underside of the car as the outside with the same glass quality paintwork. All of the suspension parts, brakes and drivetrain were either renewed or prepared to an ‘as new’ condition prior to refit to the car. The 2.0ltr Pinto engine was also stripped and rebuilt before being detailed and refitted. Fast forward to 2006, the final coat of Diamond White had been applied and the car was rebuilt to the obvious joy of the owner, he must have been very proud of his achievement.
Since then, the owner, a member of the Ford AVO Club, has enjoyed the car in the summer months and taken it to shows, only 1,500 miles have been covered since the rebuild. The condition today is close to the condition when the restoration was completed in 2006 with the only further improvement being a re trim as the previous owner preferred to retain the original interior.
Please visit our website and view the numerous photos and videos showing the condition of this wonderful car and if of interest make contact by email or telephone. As with all our cars, any inspection is welcomed.

White and Blue- America's "racing Colors" . The secret is plenty of glass, and the mixture of curves and some straight lines for contrast...The beauty ofg a 1963.5 Falcon Sprint
I had one in 1974. Used it for road rallies. Wish I,d have kept it now. Beautiful machine.
I think it was the comment that the car was restored by an enthusiast who worked in "a Formula 1 bodyshop" that got my attention! Lol. Cracking car..
What an absolute beauty

I would keep it in a heated and carpeted garage or my lounge 😀😉

It is period correct and accept .
Sold my mk 111etype roadster for 8000 .family nagging they know best only worth 60plus now .they know best.
Nice but probably 30k plus 100 BHP will never be able to leave it anywhere out of your eye view..Remember them new in 74 etc nicked all the time...
I owned one of these but mine had orange decals, wonder what they are worth now ??
If it was mine i would keep it , in australia you can't use copper brake lines in cars , only trailers. Finished in 2006 so 13 years ago not 20
I realised it was finished in 2006 too. He should've started it.
Wrong white paint, I think...
How much did it sell for?
I know, too many questions! Sigh...
8.10 Very nice car let down by untidy brake pipes.
How much was it up for sale for ??
The escort I bought in1974 from neasham of teeside didnot have a wooden dash.
I want it
I bought one of these in the mid eighties for £500 (TUB777M) I wonder if it’s still around.
Had a look on DVLA and it hasn't been taxed since 1989!
I believe there's an RS1600 pictured in Jeremy Walton's "Escort" book with a really similar reg to that.
will this car do a 100mph and sit in modern day traffic .
Absolutely - especially with that 5-speed gearbox, the top speed is somewhere around the 115mph mark. The engine is pretty torquey, so they're easy to drive around town.
thanks i had a bronze 1300 2 door in1986 , i drove it from manchester to somerset . then sold it for 75 quid ,and ive just watched it on wheeler dealers with ed . that was my bronze escort .mad .
Guy, it must have been an eye-opener seeing your old car on WD? Did Edd's workmanship do it proud?
There was one being restored on car sos last night.Pity that programme is totally rammed with adverts every 10 minutes on more 4 which destroys it as good viewing.
I will buy it but the paint isn't right
And reversing lights what
Selling my mexico
Yawn Guy how is paint wrong?
I had mk 1RS 2000 in 74 new blue on blue should be vinyl dash not wood 4 speed gear box ally sump
whats the code for that paint?
It is B - Diamond White
@@WoldsideClassicandSportsCar do you by any chance have a colour code? only asking as the diamond white has different shades. Thanks for the reply much appreciated.
Any luck?
@@darrynwalker268 on the chasiis plate it says B and on the other plate says White AVO with codes ARTYF XT RI5Q4?? Is there anywhere else there might be a number?
Está Nuevo..
This was nice but the RS 1800 was the real thing
RS1600 was the mkI.
And the price is ......
SOLD!!
Showing a bit of rust under the bonnet
Mark one escort did not come as a RS2000
Of course it did! Google "escort rs2000 mk1".
In Australia the MK I came out in a 1100cc, 1300cc and a 1558 twin-cam no 2000cc
In 1979 the MK II RS2000 came out with a different body. The motor was just a standard 2lt engine used in all the Fords. Nothing special about the motor but very restricted. Easy to gain extra HP by tuned exhausts and a side draft duel throated Weber. I have never seen a
MK I RS2000
I owned a RS2000 MK 2
Ford put a crapy carb on the engine and restricted the HP
@@RobWillmot There were lots of them in Europe! The second most common mk1 RS to the Mexico.
What 2000 engine did they put in the MK I
That dash looks plastic sorry
Old tech
Total rubbish
Total overrated crap. Porsche Audi Toyota Honda NOT FIX OR REPAIR DAILY. FORD
Harsh, but all too often true!
