I bought this car in 2016 and have done very little with it, Been stored in a shed since purchase, I bought original MK5 RS alloys and caps as car came on Mondeo wheels, I bought 3 wheels and then 2 singles and sourced correct caps, Also car had mix match locks so bought a 1 key lock set hence the red fuel cap. The car at present will not start, its making noises like it wants to start but will not start so selling as non runner as I have no time to investigate. I have uploaded a video to Youtube “Escort Mk5 RS2000 pulled out of long term storage” I am no good at links so type that in.
This car needs attention underneath, Mainly the floor area and sill at both sides , Also the tow eye at rear came off.”
