Classic Car Auctions says:

Multiple award-winning RS that's almost 'Showroom Fresh'...

This fabulous Mk1 Escort RS2000 was built at Ford's Aveley plant during November 1974
It remains superbly finished in Diamond White with Blue decals and Rallye Sport wheels
The interior is completely correct with Charcoal Grey cloth RS seats and the flat 3-spoke wheel
The 1993cc, 100bhp, 4-cylinder, SOHC Ford Pinto carries a number that matches the chassis
Fully restored in 1997, using an already good example, with the focus on originality and quality
Post-restoration, competed on the Concours circuit for 3-years with notable success (see below)
In heated storage from 2000 until now and only selling to fund new projects
JIA is very highly regarded amongst RS owners who can be a little picky when it comes to detail
If Ford chose to build a batch of 'Continuation' RS2000s, they would probably look like this
