EXTERIOR
With 200 hours detail development in Fords own Cologne wind tunnel, the rally-bred innovation of this model is instantly recognised. Finished in the ultra-rare Escort Cosworth launch colour of Polaris Grey, (Code N 2), the finish can be described as impeccable. The three-position front adjustable splitter is undamaged along with all other sophisticated downforce enhancing spoilers and the underside is spotlessly clean. The colour-coded fuel filler cap and large door mirrors of early Big Turbo cars along with every other factory Big Turbo detail is correct.
INTERIOR
The interior of this early Escort RS Cosworth Lux Edition is exactly as Ford intended. The Recaro seats finished in the Polaris Grey Hex cloth, (Code LW), are divine with a fullness and shape only witnessed on low mileage examples never exposed to ultraviolet light. The desirable early leather covered steering wheel with three horn buttons remains fitted and the grey headlining is slightly loose in areas. Being one of the first 2500 cars, the pristine boot area still has the water injection kit never plumbed in and unused to comply with homologation rules. Most were removed by the Ford dealer to avoid customer confusion! The optional Premium Sound System Model 2008 is fully operational.
ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
The powerful and well proven Cosworth 2.0 litre 16v turbocharged YBT engine features the larger Garrett AiResearch T3/T04B turbocharger with a 2-stage water/air plus air/air intercooler together with an electronically regulated over-boost facility. Being an early car it is also fitted with the desirable Weber-Marelli-programmed injection/ignition. The blue painted cam cover denotes a number of significant changes over the older YBG unit of the Sierra RS Cosworth and power is quoted at 225bhp with 0-60 in 5.9 seconds and a top speed of 140mph. The permanent Ferguson four-wheel-drive system with an epicyclic centre differential gives a 34/66% front/rear power split mated to a MT75 5-speed gearbox which is a formidable combination.
WHEELS, TYRES & BRAKES
Genuine Ford RS 8 X 16” five soft-spoke alloy wheels built by Ronal have a few insignificant marks and are still shod in the correct Pirelli P Zero tyres, which were specially developed for the Escort RS Cosworth. Due to age, it is recommended these are preserved and replacements fitted for road use. Electrically-controlled ABS anti-lock system with two microprocessors and ventilated front and rear discs with hydraulic high pressure assistance, offer immense stopping power.
HISTORY FILE
If being a one registered owner Ford Escort RS Cosworth with a documented 12,556 miles were not astonishing attributes in themselves, how about this example being one of just 45 RHD homologation models made in Polaris Grey?! (Source RS Owners Club). This desirable Big Turbo model was built in August 1992 at the Rheine Assembly Plant in Germany and registered new on the 16th November 1992 by Henlys Ford of Newcastle. The one registered owner, Mr Alan Eastwood, paid £19,655 and took advantage of 0% Ford finance paying £9826.80 over 12 months. All purchase documentation is present along with handbooks, service book and abundance of MOT certificates to warrant the 12,556 miles. The grey Ford Cares A5 folder has not perished and a full collection of spare keys still on the supplying dealer leather key fob is included. RS Owners Club valuations are present including correspondence with the Registrar. All documentation is neatly presented in an A4 folder.

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.”
