Similar to the BMW E30 M3 and the Datsun 510, the Escort is a simple, light (<1800 lb), and RWD 4-cylinder car. The RS is the one to have ~ rallying icon in Europe. The closest vehicle you can get to a Ford Escort RS that was sold here is the Lotus Cortina.

No bids in 4 days, pretty sure he's the one trying to get the price up. It's stalled and I don't see it going for much more.
