The Escort RS2000 He Refuses To Sell

Welcome to Classic Car Stories with Adam Poulton, where every classic has a story to tell. This is the story of a Ford Escort RS2000 that became far more than just a car. Bought in 1982, it has shared over four decades of family memories, survived vandalism, a disastrous repaint that left its paint cracking for years, and became a car its owner simply couldn’t part with. When I asked Stephen Hardy one final question… “If Ford wanted to buy it back today… would you sell it?” His answer perfectly explains why this Escort RS2000 means so much. This is another true Classic Car Story. ⸻ 🚗 If you enjoy genuine stories behind classic cars, please subscribe to Classic Car Stories.
