1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth

This 1993 Ford Escort RS Cosworth was built on August 27, 1992 and imported to Greece in July 1993 by its original owner, with whom it reportedly remained until 2015. The car now shows approximately 33k kilometers (~20k miles) and was acquired by the seller last year. Finished in Pacifica Blue over grey cloth, this example is equipped with a turbocharged 2.0L inline-four that sends power to all four wheels through a 5-speed manual transmission. The engine was reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership, and new tires and a battery have been installed. This Escort RS was featured in a 2017 issue of DRIVE magazine as well as several other Greek publications and is now being offered at no reserve by the seller in Athens, Greece with original books, a stamped maintenance booklet, a copy of the original German title, free RO/RO shipping, and a clean Greek title. This Escort RS Cosworth is one of approximately 7,000 examples built during a four-year production run. The exterior is finished in Pacifica Blue, and equipment includes a sunroof, flared fenders, a whale tail spoiler, and a front air dam with a black splitter. According to the seller, the hood and bumpers were recently repainted due to rock chips. A copy of a paint thickness report is viewable in the gallery. 16” 5-spoke wheels are wrapped in new Avon tires. An aftermarket muffler has been installed per the seller. Recaro sport seats are trimmed in grey cloth with patterned inserts. A factory cassette stereo is retained in the dash, and the car is not equipped with air conditioning. A 3-spoke steering wheel fronts a set of white gauges, and approximately 33k kilometers (~20k miles) are shown on the odometer, less than 1,000 of which were added by the seller. The Cosworth 2.0L inline-four is equipped with a Garrett turbocharger and linked to a 5-speed manual transmission and a permanent 4-wheel drive system. The engine was reportedly rebuilt under previous ownership and fitted with an overhauled turbocharger. A new battery has been installed, and results from a compression test are provided in the gallery. Several photos of the underbody, wheel wells, and suspension components are viewable below. A maintenance booklet stamped through 26k kilometers is included in the sale, along with factory manuals and a copy of the original German title.
