Description

A unique opportunity to own a meticulously restored Ford Escort Mk2 road car with a rich motorsport pedigree. Originally a 1977 1.1L model, this car has been transformed into a high-spec fast road machine. Purchased from Finland in 2021, the car has undergone an extensive multi-year restoration where no expense was spared.

The Engine & Performance

The heart of this Escort is a 2.0L Pinto engine, professionally built by one of Riga’s premier sports engine specialists.

Management: Modern VEMS engine management system for reliability and performance.
Registration: Legally registered in Finland (and subsequently Latvia) as a 2.0L "RS2000 motor," making it fully road-legal and TUV/Technical Inspection compliant.
Parts: High-quality components sourced primarily from Burton Power.

Body & Interior

The restoration focused on creating a clean, high-end "RS" aesthetic:

Interior: Completely new custom interior featuring a black ceiling, new flooring, and a genuine RS steering wheel from a later Ford model.
Build Quality: Most restoration parts were sourced from industry leaders: Motomobil.de, Motorsport-Tools, and Grp4 Fabrications.
Condition: Following a disappointing initial inspection after purchase, the car was stripped and rebuilt to ensure every panel and part met modern enthusiast standards.
