Presentation

This 1996 Ford Escort T25 Cosworth is a 2nd hand car from France. The car has been driven 111.150 km (5 digit counter currently showing 11.150km), a mileage justified by the condition and the available documentation (complete logbook, all technical controls since the first registration, restoration invoices, photo file).

On the outside, this T25 is in excellent condition. The bodywork shows no dents and the original paintwork no scratches. The seller indicates that the car has never been repainted. The car is equipped with its original spoiler and the seller indicates that he also owns the impressive rally spoiler that was an option in the catalog at the time. The optional sunroof is functional and waterproof. The seals and exterior plastics are in excellent condition, showing no discoloration. The headlights are also in excellent condition. The owner indicates that the car has no rust.

Inside, the car is in excellent condition and has remained in its original configuration. The optional Recaro leather upholstery shows no scratches or fading. The original carpets and rugs are in very good condition. All the equipment on board is functional including the air conditioning which was recently recharged.

Mechanically, the 4 cylinder 2.0 Turbo developed 227hp when it left the factory. All parts have been fully restored by a specialist, 3.000 km ago. A photo file is available. The engine has been opened to be entirely refurbished (new pistons, new hoses, new turbo etc...). The gearbox is also new, with a reinforced AP Racing 6 shoes clutch. The only departure from the original: a complete stainless steel Mongoose line has been installed, the original line (decatalyzed) being supplied.

On the ground, the car is currently equipped with 4 Tramont 3-piece rims in excellent condition but the seller indicates that he can reinstall the original rims for the sale by giving up the extra Tramont rims. On the suspension side, the car is equipped with 4 new Bilstein B6 shocks. The braking system has been completely revised, including the change of calipers, discs, brake pads, and aviation hoses. The front discs are grooved group A. The car runs and brakes perfectly without any abnormal noise.

The seller is a private individual located in France, in Saint Genis Pouilly (01) and accepts visits during the sale.

The seller wished to define a reserve price.
