Ford Escort 1985

Allmän beskrivning : Ford Escort RS Turbo S1

This 1985 Ford Escort RS Turbo S1 is a left-hand-drive example that was sold new in Finland. Just 5,000 Series 1 RS Turbos were built worldwide and not many as a LHD.

The RS Turbo S1 model features an exterior graphics package, alloy wheels, cloth Recaro seats, and a limited-slip differential.

Power comes from a turbocharged 1.6L inline-four paired with a five-speed manual gearbox. This example was fitted with a larger turbocharger and additional performance modifications years ago, though it is now closer to stock specification aside from an aftermarket exhaust, auxiliary gauges, and a Pioneer CD player. The engine is not standard though and performs very well, 185hp.

Nearly all of the Escort RS Turbos built worldwide were painted white with blue decals as seen here. The rear valence is showing evidence of prior repairs and paintwork, and it also appears that the body may have been repainted in the past, though the graphics have since faded. Cosmetic blemishes are highlighted in the photo gallery, including missing paint on the rear spoiler, some bubbles and rust, various chips and scuffs, and a crack in the windshield.

The RS Turbo S1 came standard with alloy wheels shared with the limited-production RS 1600i.

Cloth-covered Recaro front seats feature blue piping and show some wear on the driver’s outer bolstering, along with small tears on the passenger-side inner bolstering.

A Pioneer in-dash CD player was added by a previous owner along with aftermarket gauges displaying boost and the air/fuel mixture. As shown in pictures, the dashboard is cracked in multiple areas. Factory equipment includes a sunroof, three-spoke steering wheel, and power windows. The five-digit odometer indicates 21,600 kilometers (~13k miles), with total mileage unknown.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 1.6L inline-four, which developed approximately 130 horsepower when new, this has just been run on the dyno and is producing 185hp. A modified exhaust system is installed, and power is sent to the front wheels through a five-speed manual transmission and factory limited-slip differential. It has had recent servicing included a new cam belt, brakes, and gearbox maintenance, no records are present for the work apart from photos.

This is a great car to drive and keeps up with most modern cars, even at high speeds it feels very safe and smooth.

It wouldn’t take much to restore this car back to top condition, then you would have a valuable and rare car.

I challenge you to try and find another LHD RS Turbo S1 for sale, if you do, I would be very surprised.

Please let me know if you have any questions or require more photos.

I myself buy a lot from foreign countries so I know exactly the situation you are in.

om Ford
Ford, som grundades 1902, har utan tvekan förändrat historien om bilvärlden mer än någon annan biltillverkare genom att införa de första folkbilen Modell T 1908. De hade producerat mer än 15 miljoner bilar i slutet av produktionen 1927, genom vilket T hade blivit föråldrade.

Ford lanserade den första lågpris V8-motor driven bil 1932. 1932 V8 var en omedelbar hit med överlägsen hantering och prestanda för många betydligt mer expansiva bilar av dagen. Inte undra på 32 V8 Ford har blivit en sådan favorit bland heta rodders runt om i världen med 32 Deuce Coupe som sin ikon.

Under kriget Ford helt stänga civil bilproduktionen att ägna alla sina resurser till de allierade krigsansträngningarna (1942-1945) De används för att bygga B-24 bombplan, flygmotorer, jeepar, M-4 stridsvagnar, militära lastbilar och Bren-gun bärare och mer än 30.000 super laddade Rolls Royce Merlin V-12 motorer till Mosquito och Lancaster bombplan samt P-51 Mustang fighters. Efter kriget Ford bilar i USA blev större och flashier tillsammans med sina konkurrenter. I 60: s Ford var tillbaka i förgrunden igen när man inför deras kommersiella hit Mustang 1964. Mustang var så populär tävlingen var tvungen att följa Fords exempel och ponycar fenomenet tog över USA. Under åren ponnyer växte några muskler tills oljekrisen döda äntligen dödat dem.

På sextiotalet rusade Ford i internationell motorsport scenen med en raseri. Efter misslyckade Ferrari övertagande, då Enzo Ferrari hade klippt affären av med Henry Ford II gör det senare absolut koka av vrede, vände Ford till Lola i Storbritannien för att producera en Ferrari slog långdistans racer efter. Samarbetet mellan Ford och Lola skapade den mäktiga Ford GT40 som absolut slog Ferrari i Le Mans 24 flera gånger.

I Europa införde Ford några av de mest episka race och rallybilar av 60-talet som bygger på ödmjuka familj sedaner; Cortina GT, Lotus Cortina, Escort Twin Cam, och Escort 1600RS med de ikoniska Cosworth BDA motorer.

Idag klassiska Fords är mycket populär bland entusiaster och ett stort urval av klassiska Fords finns till försäljning på www.ClassicDigest.com
