1994 Ford Fiesta RS1800

Description

In-vogue 90's Fast Ford RS1800 with twin Webers fitted; enthusiast owner; well known car in the RS scene; goes well, sounds superb on carbs

Dating from November 1994 this MkIII Ford Fiesta RS1800 comes from the later part of MkIII production (1989-1997) and was the replacement model for the RS Turbo and is finished in Tourmaline Green and sits upon its original 15” five-spoke alloy wheels and wears its original discreetly flared body-kit well.

Under the bonnet, we find the 1.8 litre Zetec four-cylinder petrol engine that develops 130bhp (around the same as the RS Turbo it replaced) driving the front wheels via five-speed manual transmission.  We note fitment here of a few choice modifications including twin Weber Carbs (thus doing away with the original fuel injection system) which gives the car a very rorty induction sound, some Roose Motorsport silicone hoses, NodizPro 3D ignition management, heat wrapped pipes, clear timing belt cover and four-branch manifold with Magnex backbox. 

Inside the car, we find the supremely comfortable, wrap around sports seats in grey cloth, electric windows, sunroof, RS1800 floor mats, heated front and rear screens, front fog lights, digital clock, an aftermarket panel with water temperature gauge, ignition light and voltmeter as well as additional tweeter speakers on the dash.

This hot little hatch shows just 85,661 miles and has been with our enthusiast vendor since April 2018 since when he has enjoyed the car sparingly including attending various annual RS club events, the car being well known within that circle. As a result, the car presents well, starting promptly, running well and sounding very rorty as we moved it around for these images and short video.

The history file includes the V5C revealing seven former keepers to our vendor, the owner’s pack and service book recording three stamps and a further three hand-written entries (the last stamp was in 1996 at 29,574 miles, and the last hand written entry in 2003 at 68,800 miles). 

In addition, the file also includes 18 old MOTs which look to back the mileage up, a Clifford Alarm booklet and installation certificate, DVLA ownership history along with a few invoices for sundry parts purchased during our vendors tenure.

The current Mot is valid until July 2024 and recorded no advisories suggesting this Retro Fast Ford is ready to be enjoyed, or tucked away as a tidy investment.
