Paintwork is blemish free and absolutely perfect throughout - as good as it looks in the pictures, probably even better!
The 132bhp 1.6 CVH turbo engine performs faultlessly and boosts smoothly right the way through the rev range. Idles correctly and starts first turn of the key both hot or cold. Doesn’t use any oil or water and certainly doesn’t leak any fluids. No smoke out the back, rattles or issues of any kind. The attention to detail and originality is outstanding as can be seen in the pictures of the engine bay. Surprisingly impressive and powerful for a standard vehicle.
Unsurprisingly - due to the renewal of every suspension, steering and braking component - this RS not only looks but also performs like a new car with absolute no issues of any kind. Drives in a perfectly straight line, grips the road well with everything feeling nice and taught.
Gearbox has also been fully stripped down, all bearings replaced and the cases vapour blasted - changes gear perfectly with no noises or notchyness going into gear. New 3 piece clutch kit and clutch cable. Gear linkage has also been overhauled and new bushes fitted.
Inside the correct early spec interior is in fantastic ‘as new’ condition. Even the head-cloth has been renewed at great expense. The Recaros are absolutely amazing with no signs of wear or any damage, collapsed bases or any sagging. Rest of interior such as the rear seats, parcel shelf, door-cards, carpet etc is undamaged and just perfect. Original Ford stereo and Ford mats. Original spare wheel tool kit.
Underneath/chassis - a lot of components still have their original Ford manufacturer stickers on and the whole underside really is a joy to behold. Every single bolt or brackets is either new or reconditioned and zinc plated. No signs of corrosion or even any surface rust - I’d go as far to say it’s probably better than new!
