Supplied new in November 1993 the Escort RS Cosworth ‘Big Turbo’ rolled off the production line finished in the rare colour combination of Radiant Red with a Polaris Grey Hexagon cloth interior.

Ahead of the sale, the listing said: “Motorsport devotee John Phillips acquired the Escort as an early retirement present to himself and it was undoubtedly his ‘pride and joy’.

“It lived in its own garage from the day he bought it, never came out on wet days and was diligently maintained as and when required until his untimely passing in 2009 from which point the Escort remained interred in the same garage until recently removed.

“The history file is comprehensive and includes the original grey leather document wallet, the full complement of books and manuals.

“In readiness for sale, the cambelt and tensioner has been renewed and an oil and filter change carried out.

“However with minimal use over the last 15 or so years, we recommend that minor recommissioning may be required to ensure that everything is exactly as it should be.

“A rare and desirable homologation special in simply remarkable condition.”

It was sold for the eye-watering sum by Iconic auctioneers, in Northampton.
