Boreham Motorworks Unveils First All‑New Mk1 Escort RS Continuation

The Coventry firm will sell 150 newly manufactured, Ford‑licensed cars that pair period looks with modern chassis and high‑revving engines.

Overview

  • Boreham publicly showed the first completed example at the London Concours on June 9, moving the project from preview into first production delivery.
  • Production is capped at 150 cars with mixed right‑ and left‑hand drive allocation, each carrying a two‑year/20,000‑mile new‑car warranty.
  • Prices start around £295,000–£300,000 for UK buyers and are reported near $400,000 for US left‑hand‑drive examples, putting these cars in collector‑grade territory.
  • Buyers can choose a rejuvenated 1.8L twin‑cam or a high‑revving 2.1L motorsport engine, with published power figures varying between outlets (PistonHeads reports about 330 hp while other reports cite about 295 bhp).
  • The cars use a bespoke front subframe, a multi‑link floating rear axle, aluminium and titanium components to cut unsprung mass, and a new electrical architecture to modernise handling and usability while deliberately omitting driver aids such as ABS, traction control, and power steering.
