The Ford Escort is a small family car that was manufactured by Ford Europe from 1968 to 2004. The Escort Mark IV came in early 1986, codenamed within Ford as "Erika–86” and instantly recognisable as an updated version of the previous model, with a smooth style nose and the ‘straked’ rear lamp clusters smoothed over. Optional new features included a mechanical anti‐lock braking system which was standard on RS Turbo models, a fuel computer on fuel-injected models, and a heated windshield.

This 1989 example is presented in gleaming ice white having been recently subject to a full re-spray and has the traditional grey velour interior. Having been in storage for a number of years this example is showing a mere 49,000 miles and after wakening it from hibernation the vendor has chosen to revitalise the RS Turbo with not only the full re-spray but with a recent swathe of engine work which included timing belt, turbo tuning and a service. Offered with an original sales brochure, work shop manual and 12 months’ MoT test certificate, this desirable and highly appreciating example of a very collectable, fast Ford certainly looks the part.
