'Brenda', the second generation Escort was jointly developed
between UK Ford and UK Germany. The MK2 model featured multiple
body styles and engine combinations that lasted from 1974 until
1980. This 1977 Ford Escort MK2 RS2000 has approximately 18200
miles since the rally inspired build. The Escort was originally
delivered to Greece in 1977 as a factory built 2-door saloon. Since
then several upgrades have been made to improve the appearance and
performance. The upgraded 2.0L Pinto TL20H Inline-4 engine features
a custom twin carb intake manifold with twin Dellorto 44mm Dhla
side draft carburetors, aftermarket headers, and stainless exhaust.
The factory 4-speed transmission has been replaced with a 5-speed
Ford Type 9 pushing power to the rear wheels through a T21 English
Type rear end. Suspension has been modified with Koni shocks,
larger sway bar, polyurethane bushings, strut tower brace, and rear
lowering block. The exterior and engine bay show a nice condition
repaint with appearance modifications including Compomotive ML
alloy wheels, fender flares, rear spoiler, tinted windows, and an
appropriately lowered stance. Inside we find racing seats, SaBelt
steering wheel, and a Kenwood KDC-W241 head unit with aftermarket
speakers. An assortment of gauges in two locations with the
speedometer, tachometer, fuel, and temp found in the instrument
cluster. Gauges for temp, oil pressure, and voltage can be found in
front of the passenger. The Escort has everything necessary for
fun.... the legendary Pinto 205, 3 pedals, and 2 rear wheels.
Recent work includes a fluid change, oil filter, new starter, and
carb adjustment.2.0L Pinto TL20H Inline-45 Speed Ford Type 9 Manual
