November 2022 Classics Auction
1994 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Monte Carlo
Build number 138 of 200. Only 50,000 miles from new.
Registration - L376 PTV
Chassis No. - WF0BXXGKABSE96984
M.O.T. - April 2023
Odometer - 80,264 kilometres (49,874 miles)
Well, here’s one to stop the traffic – a beautifully-presented Cossie in that most eye-catching of colours, Imperial Blue. What that doesn’t tell you, however, is that it’s number 138 of the 200 Monte Carlo special editions and was originally finished in Mallard Green, so a rare car by any standards. A lefthand drive example that’s believed to have been the subject of a previous restoration, it was first registered in Germany and remained there until imported to the UK by the vendor in August 2015. Its sparkling exterior is complemented by black cloth interior trim and it rides on a set of 18-inch Compomotive TH alloy wheels shod with Vredestein Ultrac Satin tyres. Moreover, everything suggests it goes as well as it looks, as the turbo engine was chipped by renowned ECU calibration specialists Motorsport Developments of Blackpool. Other upgrades include: Bosch 803 green injectors; -31 wastegate actuator; Pro Alloy header tank; K&N air filter; front and rear strut braces and GAZ coilovers all-round.
The attendant paperwork includes a selection of invoices that point to regular maintenance and tell us that the turbo, belts and pulleys were all renewed in 2016, and the transmission, differential and engine oils and filter were changed by Thompa-Sport of Sunderland as recently as this April. At that point the odometer stood at 79,630 kilometres, since when the total has only risen to the still modest figure of 80,264; ie just 49,873 miles. This desirable fast Ford is now offered for sale complete with air conditioning, sunroof, auxiliary instrument gauges, its German owner’s book pack and both German and UK registration documents, plus a current advisory-free MOT valid until April 4 next year.
In summary:
- 138 of just 200 Monte Carlo special edition examples
- The subject of a previous restoration and resprayed in Imperial Blue
- Boasts a number of desirable engine and chassis upgrades
