1979 Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 | Basingstoke, Hampshire

The Ford Escort Mk 2 RS2000 is the sporting rear-wheel-drive Escort, known for its sloping polyurethane nose, the droopsnoot, and a 2.0-litre engine that Ford quoted at 110 bhp. This 1979 car is a compact two-door saloon with a lively reputation. It is finished in yellow with a black interior, and the bright paintwork makes the sloping nose stand out. The cabin is plain and driver-focused, and the 2000cc engine gives the classic Ford sound. Condition is excellent. Its late-1970s lines suit film and TV work set in the 1970s or 1980s, and the yellow reads strongly on screen. Fashion, editorial and advertising photographers get a bold colour and a distinctive nose to frame, while music videos and events gain a rally-flavoured look. Weddings and personal drives suit it too, with a cheerful retro feel. It is based in Basingstoke, Hampshire.
