SOLD for $100,000 ( £48,937 ). This Ford Escort RS2000 sale is a bellweather for the new boom.

We have seen so many "Claytons" Escort RS2000's that look just like the real thing, although happily, this is NOT one of them.

The Ford Escort RS2000 was legendary almost as soon as it first rolled off the production line, and has continued to be so. The car was nimble, quick, and most of all, was great fun to drive sideways. A proper car.
