• Highly modified to fast road specification
• Fully rebuilt 2.0 litre Vauxhall XE engine
Presented in striking Signal Green, this 1980 Ford Escort 1600 Sport has been highly modified and meticulously upgraded to a formidable fast road specification. Evoking a classic touring car stance, the exterior features a genuine wide-body X-Pack kit, perfectly complemented by period-style Gold Minilite alloy wheels and front driving lamps. Beneath the skin, the original powertrain has been replaced by a stripped and fully rebuilt Vauxhall C20XE big-valve engine mated to a five-speed gearbox, breathing through twin Weber 45 DCOE carburettors and exhaling through a premium Simpsons race manifold. Power is delivered via a five-speed manual gearbox paired with a competition-spec clutch, while a heavy-duty Baby Atlas rear axle with a four-link kit ensures the power meets the tarmac.
The mechanical package is further enhanced by a fully adjustable coilover suspension system with upgraded rear shocks, while immense stopping power is provided by an AP Racing front brake setup alongside a hydraulic handbrake system. Inside, the cabin is strictly business, boasting an integrated full roll cage for maximum chassis rigidity and safety, foam headlining, alongside a pair of Sparco Grid Q bucket seats (in-date to 2026) and is also fitted with a fire extinguisher. This exceptional build has just received its initial setup on the dyno and will require proper running-in before unleashing its full performance potential. Accompanying the vehicle is a history file with receipts documenting the extensive work carried out and performance parts purchased, making this turnkey fast road legend an unmissable opportunity for any Ford enthusiast or collector.
