1996 Ford Escort RS Cosworth

Presented by Lowe Classics – Upper Triley Farm, Abergavenny

Lowe Classics are delighted to offer this exceptionally well-presented Ford Escort RS Cosworth — an icon of the homologation era and one of the most desirable fast Fords ever produced. This example is not only cosmetically and mechanically superb, but also benefits from comprehensive full service history, confirming careful ownership and diligent maintenance throughout its life.

Finished to an outstanding standard, the car has been thoughtfully enhanced with a selection of high-quality upgrades that elevate its performance and drivability while remaining faithful to the original Cosworth ethos.

Under the bonnet lies the legendary YB turbocharged engine, here paired with a T34 bolt-on turbo and managed by a Link ECU, providing sharper throttle response, stronger boost delivery and a more modern, refined calibration. The result is a Cosworth that feels exceptionally well sorted and highly engaging on the road.

Dynamically, the car benefits from brand-new Gaz Gold coilovers and new Compomotive alloy wheels, giving it a purposeful stance and improved handling balance. Visual enhancements including RS500 fog grilles and Morette quad headlights reinforce the period rally pedigree, while a Mongoose exhaust system delivers the authentic Cosworth soundtrack.

Importantly, braking performance is significantly improved with AP Racing front brakes, providing exceptional stopping power and confidence during spirited driving.

A truly outstanding, enthusiast-owned example with full history, desirable upgrades and exceptional presentation throughout — unquestionably one of the finest Escort Cosworths currently available.
