this was one i missed "series 1 rs turbo" all suspension was replaced with koni items all new bushes the works, car felt so tight on the road had a quick rack braided brake hoses uprated discs and pads painted and polished engine parts and i had the wheels mirror finished had a 10 speaker ice install that sounded the bussiness, the car had everything but sadly i got into bikes and sold it to fund my first bike i had a fiesta rs turbo at the time aswell in fact 3 cars on my drive a mk 1 stripped out escort with a 1750 burtons engine in rally form went like a bat out of hell, the fiesta rs turbo, and the series one esort rs turbo if i had this car now it would be worth £8,000-£10,000 sad times.







back when i lived at home and had money loads of toys a real petrol head.


and one of the mk 1 i never finished this funded my bike test would love this now aswell as shells sell for £2,000+
