About this vehicle
A Breath-Taking Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 2 ‘90-spec’ with 12,420 Miles KGF Classic Cars XR3i RS1600i Cosworth Orion Ghia XR2i £39,995.00 Make Ford Model Escort Year 1990 Transmission Manual Fuel Petrol Engine Size 1,597 ccm Mileage 12,420 Miles Emission class -- FOR SALEA breath-taking Ford Escort RS Turbo Series 2 ‘90-spec’ with 12,420 miles.
EQUIPMENT
Body coloured polycarbonate bumpers with black insert, body coloured wheel arch extensions, tailgate spoiler, Halogen H4 headlamps, long-range driving lamps, cooling vents in bonnet, aerial incorporated in rear windscreen, electrically operated front windows, heated front screen, soft feel sports steering wheel, tilt/slide glass sunroof, tachometer, Ford Electronic model 2005 Self-Seek Stereo with anti-theft coding. Dealer Options: Security etching to glass, headlights and rear lamps, Ford Security alarm System, (Disconnected). Accessories: Sigma 530 Thatcham Approved Security Alarm.
EXTERIOR
Finished in iconic Diamond White, (Code B 3), a colour synonymous with the RS model and Fast Fords. There are numerous differences between and 88 and 90-spec cars, albeit there are some 88-spec crossover cars that had some features from the 90-spec. The notable changes for 90-spec cars include front bumpers with larger scalloped air intakes, larger rear spoiler with down-swept side fins, and boot decals in hollow font to contrast the early 88-spec solid font. This car has covered a genuine and fully warranted 12,420 miles from new and remains in absolute original condition. The paintwork is simply exceptional throughout with no scuffs, dings or imperfections worthy of mention. All factory panels are pin straight with even shut lines and spotless door apertures. Further remarkable originality is seen in the supplying dealer branding that extends to the number plates, front and rear screen stickers, tax disc holder and even a small boot badge! It is abundantly clear that the dealer showed strong pride in their branding! All Sekurit glass has the Ford Security System and number plate etching which also extends to the Carello headlamps and rear clusters. The underside and wheel arch apertures are incredibly original.
INTERIOR
Interior revisions for the 90-spec, again with some examples of 88-spec crossover, include seat upholstery with Zolda replacing Roma fabric, revised headlining with addition of rear courtesy light, extended centre console to incorporate handbrake surround, fuel and temperature gauges swapped around, addition of intermittent wipers, and Quickclear heated front screen as standard. The interior of this super-low mileage Escort RS Turbo is near perfect and remains exactly as Ford intended. The supportive Recaro seats show virtually no wear to the Zolda fabric, (Code LM). Matching door cards are in superb condition with no shrinkage or plastic fatigue to the inner door handles, an issue affecting many an example. The headlining is tight with no damage and spotless carpets are preserved with complete fullness to the pile. All switches, knobs and dials function correctly including the Ford Self-Seek Model 2005 stereo radio/cassette and overhead console digital clock.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The 1.6 OHC (CVH) fuel injected engine with a Garrett AiResearch T3 turbo charger and intercooler is completely factory standard. Producing 132bhp in such a lightweight car, the 0-60mph sprint is dealt with in 8.2 turbo induced seconds and a top speed of 128mph. Genuine Motorcraft/Fomoco service parts are visible including oil and fuel filters and the genuine Ford battery cover remains. The pristine engine bay displays all plates, labels and stickers. A lesser know 90-spec revision is the deeper inner wing profile which in turn allows a deeper expansion tank to be fitted. The 5-speed manual gearbox is light and precise.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
The instantly recognisable RS Turbo alloy wheels are virtually immaculate with clearly defined part number and size stamping often lost upon refurbishment. Goodyear Eagle NCT 195/50 R15 tyres are fitted along with the spare. This Fast Ford icon stops as well as it goes with the ABS braking system designed in conjunction with Lucas Girling working perfectly.
HISTORY FILE
Manufactured in June 1990 at the Saarlouis assembly plant in Germany and registered new on the 3rd September 1990 by main dealers, Hartford Motors (Grimsby) Ltd, this fabulous example has covered a fully verified 12,420 miles with two former keepers. The large neatly organised history file features service and maintenance invoices dating back to the early 1990’s as well as all paper MOT records back to the first in 1993. Even tax discs dating back to 1991 have been kept and neatly displayed! The original Ford Cares leather wallet holds all handbooks, the original service book and radio guides and there are three sets of keys including the master and code tags. A 1990 RS range brochure is also included and both the initial Ford fitted and updated Sigma alarm fobs are present. A full service using genuine Ford parts where possible was carried out in June 2026 and the cambelt was renewed in July 2023 at 12,041 miles with supporting invoice.

The eldest son of Italian-born parents – whose families came to the Cambridgeshire Fens after WWII to make bricks for new housing – Karl Fasulo grew up in the 70s and 80s when there were fewer cars on the roads.
His appreciation of beautiful motors began when his engineer father, Sav, purchased a red 1983 Mercedes 280SL as a weekend car back in 1985. That same Mercedes is still well-loved and driven regularly by Karl and is now in the showroom for all to see!
After a successful career spanning two decades selling and managing premium vehicles for dealerships in London and Cambridgeshire, Karl decided to set up KGF Classic Cars, to source original, modern classic cars and share them with like-minded knights of the road.
He says: “As a kid, I would squeeze in the back of our lovely red Mercedes with my brother and sister (seatbelts were not mandatory at that time!) – Mum and Dad in the front and all of us enjoying the outing. I would gaze out at other cars and my brother and I would shout out all the makes and models of the ones going by!
“With encouragement from my father, I entered the world of classic cars at 15, when I saved up and bought a 1964 Riley Elf Mk 2. This car was cleaned and polished every weekend until I was 17 when I threw away my L-plates and took to the road. My interest never subsided, even during my career at BMW – to the point where driving these older cars gave me more pleasure than the modern offerings. Perhaps it is just happy childhood memories, but there is something about those classics which draws me back to them every time . . .”
He added: “I consider it a privilege to meet and do business with people who love them as much as I do. So, whether you are buying or selling – or just browsing (taking a spin down memory lane, perhaps!) I hope you enjoy this website.”
