Ford Escort MK1 RS reborn via Boreham Motorworks as a resto-mod continuation chassis.
Automotive enthusiasts, prepare for a journey back in time with a modern twist. Boreham Motorworks has just announced the resurrection of a true motorsport legend—the Ford Escort Mk1 RS—fifty years after its last limited edition production. This isn’t just a restoration; it’s a meticulously crafted continuation car that breathes new life into one of the most celebrated performance vehicles in automotive history.

An Official Continuation with Ford’s Blessing
With an official brand license from Ford Motor Company, Boreham Motorworks isn’t simply reproducing a classic car—they’re creating an authentic continuation of an automotive icon. Limited to just 150 vehicles worldwide, each Escort Mk1 RS represents a unique blend of historical reverence and cutting-edge engineering.

Two Powerful Engine Choices
Potential owners can choose between two extraordinary powertrains that pay homage to the Escort’s rallying roots:
- Classic Twin Cam Legacy: A reimagined 1,845cc engine delivering 185 PS, paired with a four-speed manual gearbox that echoes the original Boreham-built Escort spirit.
- Motorsport-Inspired Powerhouse: A high-performance 2.1-litre engine generating an impressive 300 PS, featuring forged steel components and a titanium exhaust system that can rev up to 10,000 RPM.
Precision Engineering Meets Heritage Design
Every curve of the Mk1 RS has been laser-scanned and digitally modeled to maintain the exact dimensions of the legendary Alan Mann Racing Group 5 car. Advanced materials like carbon fiber keep the vehicle lightweight at just 800 kg, ensuring an uncompromising driving experience that remains true to its performance heritage.

Driving Purist’s Dream
Without modern driving aids like power steering or traction control, this continuation car offers an unfiltered, analog driving experience. A carefully engineered 55:45 weight distribution, MacPherson front struts, and a sophisticated suspension system guarantee exceptional handling that connects driver and machine in the most visceral way possible.

Exclusive Ownership Experience
Priced from £295,000, each Boreham Motorworks Escort Mk1 RS comes with a two-year, 20,000-mile warranty. The interior combines vintage aesthetics with modern functionality, featuring premium materials like Alcantara and fine leather, optional four-point harnesses, and a purposeful design that celebrates motorsport heritage.
