This past weekend at the amazing Silverstone Auctions so a world record broken… The highest price paid for a Ford Escort RS turbo ever and not by a small amount either.

Granted, its former owner was Princess Diana, but also because this 1985 Series 1 RS Turbo is the only Black factory-painted example in existence. The car has been beautifully kept throughout its life with just under 25,000 miles.

The final cost as the hammer fell? £650,000….
