FORD Escort RS 2000 MK1 (1974) – A classic beauty for Adriaan.

When introducing the Ford Escort RS 2000, Ford wrote: “The new FORD Escort might appear to be a small car, it has a small price!”  

The “small price” has been adjusted to the market value after 50 years. A beautiful Ford Escort RS 2000 MK1 from the first German owner, with “matching numbers”. It is simply a unique, genuine and unmodified RS 2000 in museum condition. The complete technology was overhauled and completely professionally restored with NOS parts – truly a feat! We made this special discovery at Auto Dijk in Dokkum, a company that, in addition to modern cars, also focuses on special youngtimers, classics and oldtimers.

The RS series was developed specifically for a sporty audience, but the cars were also suitable as a family car. The Escort RS models dominated rallying for years; the perfect road holding did exactly what the driver wanted. The engine in the Ford Escort RS 2000 is a 4-cylinder with 1955 cc, 74 kW (100 hp), manual transmission with 4 gears; the odometer reading is almost 117.000 km. The interior is finished in beautiful black fabrics and the exterior is finished in Diamantweiss. The car is drop-dead gorgeous – worthy of a diamond!

Monetary value?

As lovers of classics and oldtimers, we like to look at the emotional value of a vehicle from times gone by. If you are a bit more realistic, you know that such a special car as the Ford Escort RS 2000 can also serve as a storage place for the “mud of the earth”, because the value of these special cars increases with the years.

Sales advisor Adriaan puts it this way: The new owner of this FORD Escort RS 2000 can revive history. This source of pleasure, through its simplicity, will become more than a possession; it will give him a lot of satisfaction.

Do you remember?

Your first car – a new adventure and experiences? You think that every day will be exciting, but after a long row of other cars in your life, that excitement is gone. If you can buy this FORD Escort RS 2000, that excitement will come back completely; then you will feel what “happiness” means again.
