Ford Escort van with RS2000 specification up for auction

A Ford Escort van that has been upgraded to RS2000 specification is to be sold at auction in December.

It was originally a 1979 Ford Escort Mk II van, but was purchased in 2007 by someone that wanted to give it rally pedigree, and it was decided that it would be based on an Escort Mk II RS2000 rally-bred saloon from the '70s.
