Add's Escort..

Add bought his Escort back in December 2005 after driving a Fiesta for three years since passing his test. An upgrade was required as the Fiesta had been showing signs of death for a while. He had always liked the Series 2 RS Turbo, so the search began. He ended up settling on the Diamond white example you see here, although it was in quite a sorry state when he found it.

18 months on, a lot of cleaning and a stack of receipts approaching 25k and this is the result. A very clean Escort RS Turbo, and with 230bhp on tap it defiantly has the go to match the show.

All the time, money and sleepless nights finally paid of though, as at RSOC Central Day 2007 in April, the car was photographed for a feature in Fast Ford Magazine, available this month! (Sept, Oct Issue)
