The car offered here is from the collection of BP Classics. The seller has provided information about this particular Ford Escort MKI, an original AVO LHD car that was delivered new in Sweden in a special Swedish design. Only 22 of these examples were built, making this car a rarity. Although the car was restored many years ago in Sweden and painted in the Allan Mann colors, it has not been driven on the road since 1991. Currently, the engine, interior and driveline are not available, but many parts are available on the market at reasonable prices.
The car offered is an original running AVO chassis with the correct papers and chassis number, including VIN plates. Although the body needs a complete restoration, the seller has already purchased many parts to facilitate this process. New panels for both interior and exterior sills on both sides, as well as three bottom plates (two front and één rear) are available for this AVO chassis.
The seller emphasizes that although parts can still be found, it is becoming increasingly rare to find original bodyën with documents. A well-prepared RS2000 MKI can easily be worth between 70,000 and 90,000 euros at present. For a thorough understanding of the car's condition, attendance at the viewing day is recommended.
