Editors Pick: 1974 MK1 Ford Escort RS2000

Drool… this Daytona Yellow 1974 MK1 Ford Escort RS2000 looks a bit special!

Produced from October 1973 through to December 1974, this is one of just 3,500 UK-supplied AVO cars built by Ford at their Aveley plant, It’s an impressive restoration with the emphasis on presenting the car as a ‘showroom fresh’, standard-production example, Superbly finished in Daytona Yellow with the correct black cloth RS interior by Aldridge Trimmers, Fitted with the correct 2.0-litre OHC, 100 bhp four-cylinder, fully overhauled as was the gearbox, Built with great attention to detail with many new OEM panels and refinished in Daytona Yellow after finding it in red with a black Vinyl roof, All the suspension, braking, fuel lines and tank have been replaced leaving nothing to chance and a refreshed set of instruments confirm the car has covered a mere 250 odd miles since being returned to the road at the end of 2023,Fully inspected by the AVO Owners Club Registrar to confirm its authenticity including the optional wood trim and 6J Ford RS Alloy road wheels with 175/60 tyres, Supplied with full photographic evidence of the build and a host of invoices for the parts purchased, this represents a rare opportunity to own a standard restored example for the purists amongst us!
