Rare Ford is looking for a new owner – kept by paranoid man for 36 years

There is a long way between the 70s icon Ford Escort RS2000 today. Among other things. because the owner of this example hid the car away for 36 years.

The price of the older Ford models is disappearing at the moment. Boosted has, among other things, could tell about the Sierra Cosworth with just 100 kilometers on the odometer.

And now one of the least equally rare siblings has surfaced. That after 36 years away from the roads. The owner has suffered from paranoia for at least as long.

The car – an Escort RS2000 – was delivered to him from new in 1979. For the first few years he drove it as if nothing had happened. But he thought so. Because over time he became paranoid.

So paranoid, in fact, that the fear of losing the car to a long-fingered type led him to stash the car away under lock and key in the early 1980s.

According to KGF Classic Cars , which has the car for sale, it must have happened because the owner came out to the car one day and found it surrounded by three less pleasant types.

And that was the last straw that made the owner take the car off the road. That was in 1988. Whether it will pay off here in 2024, we must not make ourselves judges. But KGF believes that the car should cost 94,200 British pounds. That is 820,000 Danish kroner.

So even if the car already has just under 17,000 miles, equivalent to 27,355 kilometers. However, it can be obtained cheaper. Also in RS2000, and even with an at least as interesting story.

In England, another brown RS200 Mk.I from 1976 is for sale. Or that is to say; it is up for auction on August 24 this year in conjunction with the Collectors' Car Sale at the Silverstone circuit in England.

The car has automatic transmission and previously belonged to Henry Ford's grandson, Henry Ford II. It should 'only' cost £50,000. Or… that's where the price starts.
