FOR SALE – Ford Escort MkII Historic 2.0 BDG 🏁

A rare opportunity to acquire a freshly built Ford Escort MkII Historic prepared to top FIA Historic specification, now used on only two rallies since completion. Unlike a fresh commission with a typical 12–18 month wait, this car is available immediately and has already been proven in competition with only very light use.

1⃣ Car Description & Pedigree

• Built to a very high FIA Historic standard
• Originally supplied as a fresh, zero-use build – now used on just two rallies only
• Since completion, the car has covered approximately 320 competitive stage kilometres in total
• Supplied with FIA HRVIF (Historic Rally Vehicle Identity Form) issued by Motorsport UK
• Eligible for national and international historic rally competition
• A very fresh, low-use example with all the benefit of a new build, but without the wait

📊 Competition Use Since Build

The car has now been used on just two events:
