Lovely car pal. I have a mint one on a C plate 1986. Belonged to my dad from 1990 - 2000 when he sold it. I found it and bought it back in 2019. Sadly dad had passed away 6 months before I got it. He’d have loved to see it as it was his favourite car he ever owned.
Brings a smile to my face every time I drive it 😊
That’s a nice story about your dads escort RS , sorry about your dad not getting to see it again.the car has a great history for you, hold onto the nice memories.👊
@@nickrendell4300 thank you bud 👍
Love it Raj. I brought a S2 back in 2004 and loved it. Sold it for £2800 back in 2006 can’t believe how much they are worth 20 years later
Had one of these from new C165 E**. Sent it to a Turbo Technics in Northampton for their 2 stage boost package. Car was lovely.... Then I hit a cow in the middle of road. Cow walked off, Mrs was pregnant (daughter now 38) and after it was fixed up with A piller damage I sold it on... One of those wish I had not like so many of us. Good report Raj and great memories for me
I had quite a few S2’s always wanted a S1 but ended up buying a Sapph Cosworth which i still have 😁 lovely purchase Raj 👍🏼
I was an S2 boy myself with a tuned Turbosystems / Castle Performance Engineering mercury grey ‘87 back in the day and a Turbosystems modded ‘91 Fiesta RS Turbo after that but a few friends had the S1 and looks wise I’m with you that the shape is more appealing . I went Japanese after with MR2 Turbos and WRX’s but I do miss those Fords.
I always loved rs turbos owned a few over the yrs
I had the series 2 aswel. I had the fez ray turbo aswel.
Had an S1 RS turbo C reg 1985 ( no indicator repeaters on the wings ) that the 1986 had. Belonged to the RS owners club too. Started my journey into RS’s from an A reg XR3i, then RS 1600i, then S1 RS turbo and finally a S2 RS turbo. My S1 cost £7,150 back then but what a car. Good luck with the upgrades an look forward to seeing the journey ahead with the S1. Subscribed & liked 👍
Another great car, 80's early 90's cars are just so good ! - Keep up the great videos bro !
Hi from South Africa. We had an XR3 Escort way back in the 90's(nowhere near an RS Turbo) and I honestly didnt know much about cars to love it.Now seeing this beast not only gives me crazy nostalgia,but it also makes me wish to get one for my old man to enjoy in his retirement.Legendary car,great content. Man what a beautiful example.
SA had some cool cars though that we never got over here. The Cortina XR6 and Sierra XR8 being a couple.
My old car,me and a great friend rebuilt it...the car needed saving and we did it. It was a mess,the interior was trashed so we refurbed all the seats,carpets and installed a new uncut dash...the engine never ran properly and was mis firing and the timing was miles out,my mechanic got it running well and its done barely 300 miles since it was done and fully serviced..theres no wiring for the stereo,it had been removed before i bought it along with the speakers. The carpets were covered in grease and the whole thing stank it was being ragged around by a classic car dealer who clearly didnt care about it,i wasnt going to buy it but we HAD to save it...it took weeks to clean the carpets and bring the interior up to scratch and fitting the dash was a bitch of a job...the wiring was a mess and it was made safe for one as the car could of caught 🔥at any time as Stevie Wonder had obviously done the wiring.The floors were resprayed under the carpets and in the boot,and the whole car given some much needed love. I notice the private plate has gone which is a shame.It was a tribute to the proffesionals,VHK plates,Im glad its gone to a good home though lowering it will ruin it in my opinion. The ride is already hard and crashy . The car looks better standard but i guess youve bought it so its up to you. Its a great example i just hope you keep it tasteful. Im sure you will. We retrimmed the seats with genuine Ford Monza cloth,found brand new old stock mats and the whole thing was transformed. Glad u like it Raj,enjoy!
Wow, super knowing one of the previous owners has watched this episode and given a massive overview of the previous history. If you have any pictures of the restoration process can you please get in touch so we can have them for our file? Plus, don't worry, all upgrades will improve the car (and will be fully reversible). Email: raj@caraudiosecurity.com 👍🏽
Keep it standard. I had 2 of these C876JTM and C901FTT, real working class heroes, people let you out of junction's and give you the thumbs up. I also had a Series 2, G397VMP.
Lovely mate, I used to see a few of these ripping around Uxbridge doing the Uxbridge loop. My mk1 escort couldn’t keep up with them in its standard 1300cc form but were the car to have in the early 90’s
Haha.. there were plenty of RS's ripping around West London back in the early 90's 👍🏼
I lived in Uxbridge for a few months when I was posted there in forces. Power+ Engineering tuned my Impreza that used to bloody fly!!
Still have mine, owned it for 20years.
Classic car collections are a great investment right now. 👍
Awesome car and loving the 80s music too. Amazing addition to the collection.
Love that 80's three stalk Ford setup.
Don't even consider a different style steering wheel!
Steering wheel has seen better days... we are looking for the same style wheel but much cleaner!
Had 1 & defo want 1 again 👌
I always preferred the series 1 too 👍
Clean example, every car you have is in my dream garage !! ❤️
Thanks for watching. Series 1 and 2's are both cool, however we do prefer the looks of the S1's👍🏼
Awesome car mate. my older brother had one on a c plate when it was just a year old. i was sooo chuffed would love one of my own.
I grew up during the 70's with the mrk1 escort i was stil a baby..one british car that was extremly reliable! In south africa that old mark1 was a bullet proof tank.this vid brings so much joy for me
max power collection coming along nicely Raj! is there a nova / astra gte/gsi on the cards??? :) keep the vids coming!
GTE is a good shout... 🙌🏽
Your Escort is stunning I would go with the polished RS wheels.I remember when I was a kid one of the girls in my street her dad had one and it was his pride and joy it also so had back window louvres in black the car was red it look amazing.
S1 only in white
Hi Raj. lovely car. Owned one for 2 years from 1988 to 90. Absolutely adored it, it was my pride and joy. Unfortunately, so did the villains! Despite so called state of the art (at that time) alarms, it was stolen twice. The last time it was written off by the insurance, but it was not badly damaged. I took the car back and some cash, had it repaired, and sold it in 1990 for £6250, having bought it for £6500, so didn't do too badly. I had it up-rated by Turbo Technics in Newcastle who took it to 165 BHP, it went like a rocket. Agree with others, take all the boy-racer blue silicone and dump valve off it and make it completely original, even the alloys, they suit those cars perfectly.
Great car to the ever so impressive collection. Look forward to the content on this one.
Stunning motor. Had a few of these back in the day.
Love it Raj, I had a s2, but really wanted a s1. Don't change the wheels just polish the face of the std wheels with white inserts of them😍 like back in the day and coilovers, loved the power engineering shout out, I used to work there😀
I had this car in my early 20s. I loved it so much. It died a death and the only thing I have left is the RS steering wheel. mine didn't say Ford like this one it said RS. This bought back so many memories. Thankyou.
What a clean banger.. 80’s tunes throwback 👌🏼👌🏼
That one is one beautiful example. 👏🏻
Hi mate, Great video.
I saw you mentioned fitting Central locking, which is something I did back in the day.
The series one doesn't have a solenoid in the drivers door as this is always manually switched with the key.
So only the boot and passenger door will unlock when you press the button on the key fob.
It is possible to fit a solenoid from a passenger door to the drivers side lock mechanism.
I have bought the spare parts from a breaker years ago but still yet to fit it.
Good luck with the car pal.
#minter..
Over the past couple of days I’ve been looking at these myself. Good purchase 💪🏼
Love this one wish I could find one in the states
Nice looking car , I have a 1981 Capri 2.8 injection so into 80's fast Fords ! I boughta Pioneer head unit from you back in 2006 !
That's a beautiful machine! Congrats!
Good to see you again Raj
🙌🏽 🙌🏽
love it, i have a S2 and saph 2wd Cossie at the min,enjoy.
Great honest review on your car good luck wiv it best mate had one back in the day about 7yr old paid 2500 wiv 60k miles was mint spent many a time replacing pistons lol was always faster than the series 2 off the mark until it hit limiter in 5th gear and blew a piston or 2 lower geared than the mk 2
Love your hot hatch collection. Looks a proper nice straight S1 that😇
I bought a low mileage S1 'C377 HAR' from 'Mike Young Garage' in Ilford back in 90', owned it for over 4 years, loved that car.
Like you it had to be a S1, Mike Young Garage was an independent RS specialist back in the day for those who didn't know, not cheap but top quality RS's for sale. I could of had a White 'E' plate low mileage S2 for the same money at the time from him but to me there was no contest. Sometimes I think back and regret not buying the Graphite Grey 4k miles RS1600i he had for sale sat next to mine in the showroom at that time for £2k less. Memories eh.
Just found your channel; Subscribed👍
I want that series 1 badly u lucky fella
Nice, get rid of all that blue silicone and dump valve shi@
Blue silicon agree... dump valve adds some much needed noise and drama 😊
@@CarAudioSecurityUK maybe…..I’d still put it in the bin 🤣
looks like a good one Raj.. i have recently bought a series 2 in white and i absolutely love it
Both great cars 🚀
Rs Turbo(132 hp )from Ford,was made fore be a killer of vw GTI (110 hp)
I'm not keen on it at the moment.. (aside from wanting one for the investment) but I know you have great taste in all your cars and when you're finished with this one it will be truly epic. 👍
Please leave it standard to look at..
I agree perhaps drop it just a touch and get that engine bay looking standard with the correct airbox
And pop in a k and n element. Ditch the chav valve too. If I had it I'd go for a boost upgrade to to nice safe 1bar to give you circa 175bhp..spot on for one of these along with a cossie 4x4 brake upgrade up front.
I just love a standard looking car with extra power
Wolf in sheep's clothing.....top motor pal!
Good looking car.would love to have that
Did you know the S1 grill is actually an Orion grill painted white.
Love it in standard form. No mods whatsoever. Lose the dump valve.
Enjoy it
Exactly!
What a car!! Solid
Hi Raj , like it mate , brings back lot of memories, nice car
Great car and a purchase well timed with regards to the price Princess Diana’s went for at this week’s auction!
Nice example, needs satin black around grille, bonnet insulation and front suspension sorted (too low) I had a S1 which has just came 3rd in show at Dubshed NI.
I remember these been a real head turner when they were launched and so much nicer then the Mk4
Difference between custom and non custom.
Sunroof
Central locking
Electric windows
That’s it👍
Leave it standard… don’t mess it up!
nice car and yes princess dianas car sold for 650,000 so its got to be dearest ford escort now
Good buy. Subbed for this alone but love the 2 motors up on that mezzanine floor. Mk1 Astra GTE would look good for the set.
Love an S1. Price wise the White S1's are still attainable for your average man unlike Princess Diana's Black one 650k.
Nice car but front grill needs the the black edge painting 👍
Mint mint mite love the s1 turbo really nice car mate 👌
The best rs turbo by far in my opinion when I was young there was one down the road from where I hung around it was a super chip version tho, never seen one since, nice buy pal
💯💯
one of my fav looking cars ever, everyone loves lambo's, ferrari's. i'd be picking one of these if i had the £££ - never been for a spin tho in one still!
These cars are so much fun 👍🏼
Lovely car mate 👌
I had a s1 for a few years loved it it looks so much sweeter than the s2
When I was a kid my brother used to poke fun at me saying my favourite car was a POS b-reg RS turbo. I told him they would be worth £££ someday and were special cars.
Wouldnt worry about the parcel shelf too much... it isnt correct one for the car... its a later mk4 escort shelf you got there.
Thanks for informing us.. another item added to our list 🤣
Always loved rhis car. Well done
Apart from bumper I'd leave as is, not often you see one atall least of all original spec!
Please keep the standard wheels on.. ☺️
I love that rs turbo!
Hey Raj! JW autoshine might be someone to talk to. He’s mad into his fords and has a series 1 too. Might be able to find or know of someone with the parts you want! Loving the retro cars lately! 👊
awesome predicted a series 2 as i thought you would have preferred the more softer modern but wasn"t far wrong
Diana’s went for £650.000 , incredible really
Up grade the spring and shocks don't drop.
Congratulations from Leicester 😎👌
my pal back in the day had a series one turbo, it was totally standard and slow so he took it to torque developments and had it chipped with full mongoose exhaust and k&n filter the thing was rapid but my pal just abused the car and blew the gearbox up and totally neglected it after that, he then swapped the car for a bag of E's worth 500 quid
I had 2 of these back in the day then 4 s2’s a cossie 4x4 cav turbo nova gsi/gte and the other hot hatches never had a early golf just a 03 r32 but I only have a x5 now I miss all those cars and should have kept the s1 turbo as I’d sell a kidney for another and I only have one 😂 beautiful car as I have previously said ❤ all your cars 👍
Beautiful car ! 👍
Thank you! 👍
I love the fact that Princess Diana was a gearhead and owned one.
& Raj go for the polished RS wheels & slightly lower it . + the 3 spoke steering wheel 👍
Exactly our thoughts 👍🏽
@@CarAudioSecurityUK I did have a few S2 RS’s Renault 5GT Turbo / Cavalier SRI 130 , nova SR / Focus RS 53 plate . But the daddy of all was my escort Cosworth in sky blue P reg . Wish I still had it now ££££££ 🙈😂😂
& your video brings back good memories as when my dad was alive and I adored this car . 😔
love it
Princess dianas just sold at aution ! Dope.
i like how you cut that guy up for no reason as you joined the dual carriageway
Please consider putting the Escort RS Cosworth wheels on the RS Turbo.. they look mint on a series 1.. peace
Nice one. I bought an S2 when I was 19 I’m 47 now and still have it.
Very nice! Bring it over to one of our Cars & Coffee meets at CAS HQ!
Awesome car great buy.
Thanks! 👍
B616 DOH - was my RS, my fav of all the hot hatches i had, 60k? Bloody hell i wish i kept it 😁
Classic car values have been nuts for a while now...
Nice purchase 🔥🔥👌
Love the car.
Unreal motor
Nice car and definitely would have one... but going prices are definitely not worth it. I can remember not so long ago 10k would buy you a decent restored one... dam it should have bought one then.
I left 2 Renault 5 gt turbos at the side of the road with the keys in .
Keep the OE rims!
Lovely example
Had an rs1600i which I absolutely loved
It got wrote off so I bought a series 2 off my brother
Still think the mk3s look better
Enjoy ownership
I owned a few mk1 and 2rs's but i know the feeling a drunk driver wrote of my very first white mk1 while it was sitting parked outside my girlfriends overnight,I was devasted at the time..
👍
If you need parts get in touch raj
Thanks for the offer 👍🏼
Proper cut the lanes 😜
Awesome buy Raj 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Steve 👍🏼
I went the otherway. I sold mine and bought an M3. I love the S1 but got sick of paying Porsche prices for ford parts. It was the Ford community that killed it for me.
I've still got loads a rare parts in the garage. Including the accessory RS 3 spoke steering wheel.
I always preferred the s1 over the s2.
Same here i owned both but always preferred the look of the standard mk1 white rs,I had a black h regarding mk2 that was 300ish bhp it was my favourite car at the time,it felt so fast back then lol
Fancy a white astra gte 16v to go in your collection????
Looks like indicating to change lanes is optional where you are 🤣🤣🤣
Nice car Raj
Indicators.. what are those 🤣 ?
Typical RS Ford driver, first thing you do is cut up a Vauxhall . pulling onto the motorway 🤣🤣🤣 love it haha
S1 One of my favourite cars.. really enjoyed the video mate keep up the good work 💪🏻
The black princess Diana one just sold for like £650k
