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."
