If you’re in the market for a good car, £79,995 is enough dough for plenty of good cars. Heck, it’s enough for not one, but two units of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class. Be that as it may, £79,995 is also sufficient to buy what is “probably the best Escort Cosworth in the world.”
The listing for the car you can admire in the photo gallery starts with plenty of pomp and circumstance: “If you are looking for the most original and well kept Escort in the world, let alone Cosworth, you have probably just found the best of both.” With 2,433 miles (3,915 kilometers) on the odo, the owner has a concrete reason to be boastful.
Regardless of the fact that the Ford Escort Cosworth is an automotive icon, plenty of these things have seen a hedge of two throughout their lives. That’s because once you get behind the wheel of an Escort Cosworth, you can hardly stop mashing your right foot in the loud pedal. The reason for that is, of course, the magnificent Cosworth YBT engine, as well as the great handling characteristics.
The owner of this Mallard Green-painted example is not the typical Escort Cosworth guy. Why? For starters, the car “has never been displayed or driven anywhere other than to service and back each year.” To boot, it has “been serviced and Mot'd every year by the same technician.” Neat stuff, alright, but that’s just the start of why this is probably the best Ford Escort Cosworth out there.
Regardless of the fact that it’s a one-owner car, chassis number 123 here has an early big turbo and it still wears the original Pirelli P Zero rubber shoes. Furthermore, the water injection bag and lines are still in the trunk. Oh. My. God! I know, right? This is, without a shadow of a doubt, the best Escort Cosworth in the world. And to be brutally honest, it is worth every penny of the £79,995 asking price.
