1973 Ford Escort RS1600 Works Rally for Sale in the Netherlands

This 1973 Ford Escort RS1600 Works Rally is a used car showing 100 km. It is equipped with a manual transmission. The car is finished in White with a Black interior.

Built and prepared by Ford's Boreham competition department, this is a genuine works rally Escort. Roger Clark, the first Briton to win the RAC Rally, drove it on the 1973 East African Safari, it started the Scottish and RAC rallies later that year, and it contested the 1974 World Cup Rally; Tony Pond also drove it.

It keeps its original factory shell, strengthened to Group 2 standard by Gomm Metal Developments, which many rally cars of the period have lost. In the 1990s it was restored to full works specification, and it has since won a Historic Rally Car Register championship and taken part in major historic events. Its record is extensively documented. The engine is now a competition BDG, not the road car's BDA.

The car is located in Brummen, Netherlands.

The Ford Escort RS1600 uses the 1,601 cc Cosworth BDA straight-four with twin overhead camshafts and sixteen valves, fed by Weber carburettors, rated at 117 PS (86 kW) at 6,500 rpm, with a four-speed manual gearbox driving the rear wheels.
