1977 Ford MKII RS2000 Factory X-Pack – and more ‘Classic’ Fords – up for grabs at CCA

This month’s Classic Car Auctions Practical Classics sale sees a 1977 Ford MKII RS2000 Factory X-Pack and more classic Fords up for grabs.

You may have noticed that ‘Classic’ Fords are now starting to fetch serious money; cars you couldn’t have sold for a tenner a decade ago are now fetching properly silly money.

The headliners are the £100k plus Cosworths, and we’ve seen an impressive RS2000 Custom hit the same sort of level too, and a special Lotus Cortina sold recently for £168k.

Inevitably, the rise and rise of the cream of Fords past is also dragging up prices of slightly lesser cars, and next weekend’s (23-24 March 2019) Classic Car Auctions Practical Classics sale has a few interesting classic Fords – if your budget stretches.

Possibly the most interesting is a 1977 Ford MKII RS2000 Factory X-Pack (above)  – the original Tricentrol Ford RS X-Pack publicity car – which has been in the same family ownership for the last 30 years, comes with lots of history, but needs a bit of TLC to recommission it. CCA reckon it’ll fetch £30-38k.

Also up for grabs is a 1983 Ford Escort RS1600i, which has had a full restoration and is reckoned to be one of just 95 left in the wild. CCa reckons it’ll fetch £20-25k.

There’s even a 1984 Fiesta XR2 which was put in storage in 1986 and has covered just 23,670 miles, which CCA think is worth £14-18k.

But if your taste in classic Fords lies across the Pond, there’s also a 1968 Ford Mustang CS GTS with extensive history, original sales invoice, fifty years of invoices and subject to a full restoration in the early 2000s. It’s finished in lime gold metallic, has 105k miles on the clock and is expected to fetch £20-25k.
