1995 Ford Escort Cosworth

Interior

• Refurbished thickly bolstered Recaro sports seats
• Genuine four-spoke RS steering wheel
• New old stock ashtray and Ford floor mats
• Correct Cosworth dashboard badge and supplementary dial gauge pack
• The car is equipped with air con but was degassed and belt removed (which was apparently common back in the day) and could be recommissioned with a different bottom pulley, belt and regas
• The interior fan stopped working last year and, with the forums advising that it’s a fuse board issue with dry joints, Odell motorsport refurbished the fuse board
• Genuine Cosworth tool kit, spare wheel and wheel cover
• Inner window door seals freshly renewed – very hard to find
• Alloy Cosworth pedals
• Alcantara headlining and gear lever gaiter
• Electric sunroof

Exterior

• Absolutely beautiful Dark Aubergine metallic paint
• Correct Cosworth body kit
• Carbon fibre front splitter
• Rear spoiler rubber seal, rear light clusters and full lock set replaced with OEM parts
• New side and front indicators
• Bonnet stay clip and rubber replaced
• Recent new windscreen wipers
• Compomotive 18-inch alloys (ordered direct from the manufacturer to ensure correct offset, with nuts and centre caps) fitted with Michelin Pilot rubber
• Original alloys also included in sale and in excellent condition
• Rear quarter window rubbers replaced as they had shrunk with second hand but OEM items
• Appears superb underneath
• No dents or evidence of previous damage
• Paint finish is truly lovely – one minor chip on bonnet and another on the very bottom corner of the driver’s door, but very difficult to see, otherwise stunning
• All correct Cosworth badges
• High downforce rear spoiler in superb order

Mechanical

• 2.0-litre Cosworth ‘YPB’ turbocharged 4cyl
• Five-speed Ferguson MT-75 heavy duty transmission
• 0-60mph in 5.7 secs and 224bhp as standard but is running a PJ Motorsport chip which would put it at a minimum of 260bhp
• Full set of adjustable Koni dampers and Graham Goode Racing uprated springs which lower the car by 12mm at the front 18mm at the rear
• Polybushes on rear
• Reyland large front disc conversion and running EBC Redstuff pads all round
• GGR idle control valve
• The vendor tells us that he has had installed a new cam belt, tensioner,bottom pulley and bolt, OEM thermostat (with front and rear housing) and water pump all sourced from Burtons and that it’s filled with Evans waterless coolant
• The following old stock new OEM parts have reportedly been replaced during the current owner’s tenure: throttle body, rear suspension drop links, coolant header tank
• Recent new front drive shafts
• Mongoose stainless steel exhaust with new oem rubber mounts
• Recent mechanical check and overhaul by well-known performance car specialist Odell Motorsport who replaced the spark plugs, engine oil and filter and changed the oil in the rear differential, gearbox and transfer box
• The ABS light is currently showing but the owner has ordered four ABS sensors which will be installed prior to the sale
• Once that is addressed, the car is being sold in what the vendor believes to be excellent mechanical order with no known faults or issues
