ESCORT RS TURBO
STAGE 1 BOOST SWITCH - 170 BHP - 170 TORQUE

NAME: PHIL WELSBY
AGE: 32
FROM: MANCHESTER
BLACK H REG 1990/1991 ESCORT RS TURBO

Purchased in 2001 for £3000 with full history and receipts. Only 2 owners me being the third, the previous owner had spent £2200 in 3 months on a re-con engine, gearbox, a Mongoose exhaust, and a stage 3 hybrid turbo.

The car was thoroughly checked out by my good pal Simon Bowyers a.k.a (Doctor "Loz") from Macclesfield, who is a genius mechanic on turbo's in my estimation.

In 2003 I joined the RS Owners Club, a year after that I joined the Manchester Group, who meet the first Monday of the month. Last year I went to seven shows and was lucky enough to win my first trophy in Nottingham. I've also won car of the month 1st place trophy. In the four years that I've owned the car I have roughly spent £2000 - £3000 making the car as it looks today. I have the car tuned up every year by Darren at John Noble Motorsport.

In the four years that I have owned the car I've spent quite a bit of money on various items.
For all under the bonnet shiny's I deal with a popular company called Auto Specialists, based in East Tilbury, Essex.
