Unboxing survivor 700-mile Ford Escort RS Cosworth - 'New Old Stock' . In this special episode Jonny Smith gets the chance to break the security seals and 'unbox' an unraced, almost delivery mileage 1992 Ford Escort RS Cosworth Group N rally car showing only 703 miles. Converted to motorsport spec when new, this car was lost for many years in the garage of a Jakarta businessman, who ordered it new and never ultimately campaigned it.
Thanks for stopping by The Late Brake Show.

I saw this car at a rally show here in Melbourne earlier this year with a for sale sign on it. Clearly wasn't likely to sell in Oz, talking to the owner / minder, he said I wasn't the first person to suggest it goes back to the UK to be auctioned, or at least get exposure on a global auction site. Amazing to see it then, looks like it went into the container shortly afterwards. I'll just have to make do with the photos I took and hope it sells well on the weekend. It's immaculate. Great story, nice to see Jonny being given the opportunity to unbox it.

This car belonged to My late father. His partner then sold it off as soon as he died and we tried desperately to track it down. We came across it earlier this year online but sadly we could not get the funds together in time to buy it back. Believe it or not, it sat in My Dads dusty garage for last 10 years at least, covered in my little brothers old bedding 😂. I have pictures of it hiding under a “Finding Nemo” doona cover! He would be so happy to see it now, but furious it wasn’t passed on rightfully to us. He knew a cars like nobody else, he knew what this was worth and unfortunately it was sold off without any consultation or regard for what he would want done with it. He ran a Historc Car restoration business, he was so busy restoring other peolpes cars, he never got the time for his dream car. Today is actually is birthday, so it’s very odd that this popped up.

This was my father's car. It was kept in his garage at his property in Kinglake, Victoria. Australia. He passed away in a car accident in 2019. He had it covered in my little brothers bed sheets for years. He told me it was his retirement. However, his partner sold the car and his entire car collection without our knowledge. My brother went with dad to pick this car up. I have photos of this vehicle in his garage. Today is dads birthday. Funny we have viewed this video today.

And Jonny is right nobody would insure me apart from one. 1986 i was 20 and i just worked to pay for the insurance . Lucky i was still at home with mum and dad who fed me lol.

Brings back memories of my L reg black Escort RS Cosworth lux. I only had it for just over a year, but it was an animal. Engine built by MADevelopments with a syvecs ecu. Had it on the rollers, and it put out 458 bhp. It had AP six pot brakes and rondell alloys. I spent a fortune on it and sold it for £13,000 it would be worth a fortune now.

What an absolute beauty! Bet she'll sell high! Got a challenge for you Jonny, there is a one of one Escort Cosworth that has disappeared and hasn't been tracked down yet. It was called the Acropolis. Ford were going to produce 200 of them to celebrate the win at the Acropolis rally in 1993 but only a single prototype was made. Apparently so the stories go, it was sold to someone who prepped it for local rallying and was used for a while then it disappeared. There isn't a lot of information about it anywhere. According to the DVLA it was sorned may 2018 so up until 5 years ago it was active. It would be quite an amazing find if anyone was to be able to track it down...

Really enjoyed this. Cheers, Jonny. I am completely in love and have always wanted an Escort Cosworth. Where I grew up I saw quite a few of these, as well as the later RS2000s. Our local police station had a couple of Navy RS2000s as pursuit cars. I have had a Focus RS and really miss that car, but relocating back home, from the US, I couldn't bring it with me. Maybe one day I will pick up another.

There's truly something nostalgic about this car, my favourite classic. I was fortunate that my parent owned one when I was a child (the blue colour we're all familiar of) and had fond memories sitting in the back as the coolest kid in the estate/town. I was truly gutted when they sold it and now one of these in mint condition will fetch upwards of £100k. I'd be interested to know what this will/has fetched at auction. I certainly can't afford one lol.

Definitely go to a collector, for over £500k, if it’s Group N specced, should be running no more than 300bhp, as these cars where limited after Group B monsters, but for the money this should bring, it needs the centre caps 😂 but I can only imagine they will be in a plastic bag in the glove box. 😁👍🏻

Collectors particularly value racing cars with works-team providence or low mileage road cars of limited-run models in “the right spec and colour”. This is neither of these and a “boggo” Group N spec Cossie (which Ford were literally giving away at the time as no one wanted them) is undoubtedly the least desirable spec possible. My guess is it won’t fetch more than £250k, which is still huge money for what it is but nowhere near others guesstimates…

I did my apprenticeship with a Ford dealer with RS specialist status during this era. I was fortunate to drive & work on (supervised of course) these things, although I probably didn't fully appreciate it at the time. I loved the Monte Carlo spec models without the wing.

@@hassyg4083Yep, mileage aside it’s the least desirable Escort Cosworth I’ve ever seen. It’s Group N spec so will make a shit road car but neither does it have any rallying pedigree or providence - that all belongs to the “works” Group A cars, which were literally in a different league. Serious collectors will surely pay more for a 25,000 mile road going model in the right spec and colour…

In my opinion, i dont think this will make as much as a fully restored road going car. Dont get me wrong, its a stunning find. But, i think a road going car will be of more appeal
@neilturner6749
@neilturner6749 10 ай бұрын
Interesting point. The Group N models were the least desirable in period, lots of commenters here are confusing this example with full on Group A models that were produced in small numbers and cost 10x more when new. Collectors usually look for mint road cars or racing cars with providence…

Unfortunately for me , it is way out of my price bracket now unless like has been previously commented, I would have to win the lottery. Thank You for showing this. It was very exciting to see it come out of the container. I wish you could have been able to drive it.
