Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 20th May 2023

142 Supercar Fest Sale of Iconic and Classic Cars 2023 - Cars Registration: POI 4978 Chassis No.: BBATTG19744 Estimate: £50,000 - £60,000 Lot 881 1977 Ford Escort MK2 Rally Car - Millington Engine Currently set up for tarmac rallies, this exceptional Escort has never been used in anger and has covered just 300 non-competitive miles or so since completion. It was prepared for a customer who subsequently no longer required it, and consequently still displays the relevant sponsorship decals. It remains in ‘build-fresh’ condition throughout with an enviable specification based around its extremely rare and desirable power plant, a Millington Diamond 2.0 ‘McRae’ R4 stamped block, one of just 20 such examples produced by Millington Engineering in conjunction with Colin, and we believe the last one of the ‘McRae’ series produced. With a purposeful and superbly detailed interior equipped with an abundance of high-end parts and safety features it’s clear that this was a ‘no expense spared’ build resulting in a rare, functional and competitive, in the right hands, Mk2 Escort. Wherever you look the finish is exemplary, be that internally or externally, so much so that this particular Escort could very easily hold its own on the show circuit, but clearly that is not the intention especially as it’s accompanied by an MSA Passport valid up until 22th July 2027 providing numerous competition opportunities for the next custodian.
