Here is maybe one of the rarest Ford Escorts on the market currently - a 1980 1600 Sport finished in black with the correct brown trim of the time and the correct silver stripes. The Ford would appear to be factory standard with the correct wheels, and it even has a set of driving lamps as it should. This is finished off with the black quarter bumpers on the front, the rear bumpers with the overriders, and the rear boot spoiler. The engine bay is exceptionally clean and detailed, as is the boot, and the underside. It even has its owners handbooks and instruction manuals, something you don’t see very often.

The Escort has come to us from a private and very high brow car collection, and the vendor has informed us that it was restored around 5 years ago and has not been used since. He has even gone to the trouble of having an MOT every year whilst in his ownership, even though it is exempt, with the current one valid to October 2025. This speaks volumes about the car and the vendor, and how well he has cared for it as he does with all his collection. This coupled with the condition and rarity, make this a must for any serious Ford collector or someone who grew up in the 1980s and dreamed of having one. This is much rarer than an RS2000 and therefore more desirable one would think.

We highly recommend that take a closer look. If you have any interest in collecting or owning a Ford, this is something you may not have but maybe you should. A great condition and rare Ford Escort 1600 Sport, what’s not to like?
