Descripción

Few cars capture the spirit of the early 1970s quite like the Ford Escort RS2000. Developed by Ford's Advance Vehicle Operations (AVO) at Aveley, the RS2000 combined the lightweight, rear-wheel-drive Escort platform with a 2.0 litre Pinto engine, creating a wonderfully straightforward performance car with genuine rallying pedigree. Its distinctive four-spoke alloy wheels and sporting stripes gave it a purposeful appearance, while its relative mechanical simplicity made it an appealing alternative to the more complex RS1600. Today, the RS2000 is one of the most recognisable and sought-after members of the classic Ford family, prized for its period styling, engaging driving experience and close association with Ford's competition heritage.

Built in comparatively small numbers, genuine AVO examples are particularly desirable. The RS2000's combination of accessible performance and traditional rear-wheel-drive character has ensured its enduring popularity, with well-documented cars continuing to attract considerable interest among Ford enthusiasts and collectors alike.

The Escort RS2000 offered here presents an appealing opportunity to acquire one of these celebrated fast Fords. The current owner has a lovely and varied collection of motor cars and purchased the Escort quite recently. However, with so many interesting cars to enjoy, he recognises that he is unlikely to use it as much as he would like and has therefore decided to offer it for sale.

The car is well known in AVO circles, having previously been owned and campaigned by Andrew Smith between 1980 and 2010, including participation in historic and classic rallies. Reportedly retaining its matching-numbers engine and original Type 49 AVO bodyshell, it benefits from a full engine rebuild and replacement gearbox, together with more recent servicing and recommissioning. While not presented as a concours example, it offers the considerable appeal of a genuine AVO-built RS2000 with recognised enthusiast provenance and important mechanical work already undertaken. An excellent opportunity to acquire an iconic fast Ford with an interesting history and plenty of character. Consigned by Fraser Smith
