The subject of an exacting three year restoration to create, arguably, a better-than-new car; over £50,000 and hundreds of hours invested by our ex-Ford Technician vendor. Simply remarkable! The subject of a quite remarkable restoration, making it one of the most ‘as new’ (and improved) modern-classic Fords we have ever seenAs a very special, solid and original example it was the ideal candidate for an uncompromised, no-item-too-small, money-no-object, all-in restorationOur vendor saying: “The car needed to be like I was walking into a Ford showroom in 1985 to buy it, only I wanted to take advantage of some of the automotive developments which have taken place in the 40 years since it was built. I would describe the car today as OEM-plus - how Ford would have produced it had modern-day materials been available”Lasting over 3 years (concluding in July 2024) and with over £50,000 invested, the car is easily one of the best RS Turbos we have offered for sale. Our vendor continues: "I had planned a full, total and no expense spared restoration of every component and began sourcing and collecting new old stock Ford parts. Having had plenty of these RS Turbos when I was younger, and having carried out my apprenticeship at Hancock Ford in Horsham, I knew these cars inside out.”He continues: “The car did not look to have been ‘got at’ much in previous years and you could tell that this was the first time many areas of the car had been apart or touched since it was built in 1985. I photographically documented every part coming off the car as I wanted the rebuild to be factory-correct right down to every clip, nut, bolt and screw. The complete, photographic, documented restoration was completed in July 2024This highly collectable car is accompanied by a vast history file documenting its restoration, background and ownership. Definitely one for the collector!
