Here at Marc James we are delighted to offer this remarkable Ford Escort RS. A credit to the team at DEN motorsport for building such an incredible car, as-well as current owner John B. for refining it to a Concours ready level. Every nut and bolt has been placed with care and purpose, and it's clear to see that an enormous amount of time, effort and love has gone into creating this fine machine. It is a true testament to the pinnacle of vehicle engineering and motorsport. We are very proud to represent such a car, as it fits the Marc James ethos very well, "quality is never an accident, it is always the result of intelligent effort."

If you're a road rally enthusiast, this is the car you’ve been waiting for. In today’s market, it’s rare to find something so thoughtfully curated and purpose-built, and this vehicle truly ticks every box. Built and prepared to compete at the highest level, it’s equally at home on a relaxed cruise thanks to its freshly built 2-litre Sherwood engine, screaming all the way to 9,000 RPM. It’s genuinely a one-of-one in its own right. A unique build with no equal. The aircraft-quality wiring loom is a work of art, as impressive to look at as it is reliable, showcasing the attention to detail throughout the car’s internals.

Upgraded Monte Carlo brakes are fitted all round, ensuring confident stopping power to match the engine’s performance. The vehicle also comes with an MSA competition logbook, making it fully prepared for serious competition.
