Footnotes

The Ford Escort RS Turbo S2 is one of the most enjoyable and well-rounded Ford's to come out of the 1980s. Produced between 1986-1990, the Series 2 featured many upgrades over the Series 1, including a new water cooled Garret T3 Turbo, lower gearing, and an improved limited slip differential. This 1989 example is presented in an excellent condition throughout, and the bodywork and red paint both present beautifully. The interior is also showing little signs of wear and overall is in a very good condition. With only 84,000 miles and 11 owners from new, there is a large history folder with the car that's full of old MOTs and service history. As a result the car is running and driving very well and as it should.
