    '95 Ford Escort Cosworth . . .

    . . . aka 'Cossie' . . .


    '. . . .

    HIGHLIGHTS
    • USA Titled and Registered example
    • Bored out 2.3L high spec engine with many Grp A parts
    • WRC front and rear body work
    • Quaife limited slip differentials, and revised gearbox ratios


    OVERVIEW
    This specific car was originally built in Germany as a joint project between Richter Motorsport and Autohaus Wagner (a main Ford dealer in the region) to showcase what could be done with this potent platform. Richter used it as a marketing piece for their business, and as such, they went all out on the build. The car was built in the late 1990s, and then later imported into the US (through Sun International), and has been with the same owner since.

    Engine/Transmission/Differentials - Stock block increased from 2.0L to 2.3L with Grp A internals, Garrett turbo, RS500 intercooler, remapped ECU, oil cooler, Mountune cams, Grp A wastegate, 3” Mongoose exhaust, carbon fiber valve cover, revised gearbox ratios, short shift kit, Quaife differentials.

    Suspension/Brakes/Wheels/Tires - H&R coilover suspension, poly bushings, OMP front strut brace, Tarox 6 piston front brakes, Compomotive MO wheels (18x8), 235/40-18 tires.

    Exterior - WRC rear spoiler (carbon), WRC front bumper/spoiler (carbon), Morette twin headlight conversion, custom gold paint color change (full – engine bay, door jambs, even under the carpet – sprayed as a shell).

    Interior - Largely original, with upgraded Konig seats, RS style steering wheel, and aluminum shift knob.

    The opportunity to own a Ford Escort Cosworth RS is already rare, with ~7000 in total worldwide production. Even rarer is to own one in the USA, with less than 25 known to be stateside. Rarer still is to own one that is legally imported and titled. Add that to the heavy level of modification, and you have a weapons grade weekend toy that will ensure you are the only one at the local club meet with such a machine. Car is sold on clear and clean WA state title . . .

    318iS . . . .

    . . . just saw this --- on BaT

    '. . . This 1991 BMW 318is is finished in Alpine White over tan vinyl and is a lifetime California car that shows 124k miles. Optioned with a limited-slip differential, manual sunroof, stereo sound system, and central locking delete, this car has been maintained in stock condition aside from a trunk-mounted CD changer. It is powered by an M42B18 1.8-liter inline-four mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. This one-year-only BMW is now offered with the original BMW flashlight in the glove compartment, all factory books/manuals, a BMW New Owner Audio Program cassette, factory keys, its original window sticker, an accident-fee Carfax, and a clean California title in the seller’s name . . .

    . . . This 318is lived in Southern California before moving to San Francisco last fall. Outside, the paint is said to hold a consistent shine with all factory glass accounted for as highlighted in the photo gallery. Matching VIN stickers remain in place on the doors, hood, trunk, and body panels with the exception of the passenger fender as shown in the gallery. A few door dings are also pictured, and the driver’s rear marker light is reportedly missing a clip and comes loose sporadically . . .

    . . . The seller has provided detailed pictures showing common rust-prone areas including the trunk release, license plate lights, battery well, and spare tire well. Rolling stock consists of 14″x 6.5″ BBS basketweave alloys wrapped in near-new 205/60 series rubber. The steel spare wheel/tire is said to be unused, and a complete OEM toolkit is also pictured in the trunk along with the aftermarket JVC CD changer . . .

    . . . Tan vinyl sport seats show nicely and the interior has been left completely original, including the factory stereo head-unit that functions with the CD changer. The dashboard is noted to be crack-free and flaws reportedly consist of the 6-button onboard computer working intermittently, occasional squelching and static from the radio, a slow passenger-side window, and one small vinyl perforation each in the passenger-side front and rear seats. All instrumentation is said to function properly with no pixelation issues, and the factory flashlight remains in the glove box . . .

    . . . The M42B18 1.8-liter four-cylinder is mated to a 5-speed manual transmission. The seller acquired this 318is from a La Jolla-based broker who had Legendary Autoworks in Chula Vista perform a service in October 2016 less than 1k miles ago. This included a new engine air filter, fuel filter, oil/filter change, new drive belts, spark plugs, a coolant flush, transmission fluid service, differential fluid service, new front/rear brake pads and sensors, a brake fluid flush, and new wiper blades. A copy of the invoice is included with the sale . . .

    . . . Documentation includes the original window sticker, dealer-stamped service booklet, factory books/manuals, two original keys, and the BMW New Owner Audio Program cassette as shown above . . .

    . . . The included Carfax report is accident-free and shows this 318is has remained registered in California from new. The most recent smog check was performed in October 2016 and a copy of that report is also included with the sale . . .

    Another Nasty BMW . . .

    . . . M5 Touring . . .

    '. . . This 1995 BMW M5 Touring is number six of 20 “Elekta” special edition examples and one of only a handful of California-legal E34 M5 wagons. Just 891 hand-built M5 Tourings were produced, with none officially imported to the US. Of these, 209 late model cars were built with 3.8-liter engines and 6-speed manual gearboxes along with brake, suspension, and cosmetic enhancements. The least common of all Tourings, the Elekta was a special edition commissioned by BMW dealers in Italy and comprised the 20 final examples produced for that market. This example was federalized and made California legal in 2005, and is said to be one of less than 30 Tourings in the country. The seller is its third owner and describes it as stock and fastidiously maintained over its 126k kilometers (~78k miles). It comes with a BMW Classic certificate, extensive ownership and maintenance history from new, a collection of period accessories, and a clean California title . . .

    . . . Ten Elektas were created by BMW Individual with silver paint and blue interiors, while the remaining 10 were finished in the combination of British Racing Green over Hazelnut leather seen here. No rust or accident repairs are present according to the seller, though minor paintwork has been carried out on the front fascia, hood, side skirts, and driver-side rear quarter. A textured rear license plate blackout panel is a factory detail specific to the M5 Touring . . .

    . . . The final run of E34 M5s, sometimes referred to as the “Evolution” series, featured exterior updates including widened grilles and revised hoods to match along with staggered-width 18″ M-Parallels, here refinished and wearing Michelin Pilot Sports mounted on 4/3/17. Elektas were further outfitted with shadowline window trim, roof rails, dual power sunroofs, and headlight washers. Standard E34 mirrors have been replaced with factory optional streamlined M-Technic items repainted in 2016, and the originals are also included. Though rear model badging was omitted from the factory, an M5 emblem has been added here . . .

    . . . This exterior walk-around video shows condition of the paint and body. No bumper or door reinforcements were reportedly necessary for federalization, after which the car was reverted to European specification. Original parts including the headlights, gauge cluster, catalytic converter and passenger-side mirror glass were refitted, and side marker lamps have since been deleted. The windshield is a 2006 replacement, and all glass etchings are photographed up close . . .

    . . . Powered front seats with driver-side memory are wrapped in Hazelnut Nappa leather that shows light cracking and occasional small depressions. Elektas received further color-matched leather on their center consoles, door panels, and glove boxes along with black leather dashes and factory Mexico Green carpeting. Additional touches from BMW Individual include a storage net in the passenger footwell along with an auto-dimming mirror and BMW-branded fire extinguisher beneath the driver’s thigh bolster . . .

    . . . The three-spoke airbag wheel is a factory item, as are the BMW Business cassette deck, hi-fi sound system, and Italian-labeled onboard computer. Automatic climate control is also fitted, and the air conditioning system received a new compressor and receiver-drier in 2011. Motorsport instrumentation includes a 300 kph speedometer, tachometer with 7,000 rpm redline, and oil pressure gauge . . .

    . . . A tour of the interior, dash, and cargo area can be found in the video above. A matching spare wheel is housed in the cargo area along with factory tire change accessories, a cargo net, tow hook, and a retractable cargo cover. A full tool kit is also supplied along with a fitted car cover . . .

    . . . The 3.8-liter 24-valve S38B38 inline-six had factory ratings of 340 horsepower at 6,900 rpm and 295 lb. ft. of torque when new. The engine is original to the car per the seller, with #60011070 listed on the included BMW Classic certificate . . .

    . . . This video shows the car at idle as well as detailing the six independent throttle bodies and underhood finishes of the S38. A Getrag Type D 6-speed manual gearbox handled shifting duties for these late cars and was linked to a standard limited-slip differential. Several underbody shots indicate condition of the floors, exhaust and running gear . . .

    . . . Updates for the self-leveling suspension included driver-controlled Electronic Damper Control along with thicker sway bars. Larger disc brakes with two-piece floating front calipers were also equipped. The car has been driven just under 2,000 miles during 18 months of ownership by the seller, who cites considerable expenditures over the last decade to maintain its condition at a notably high level using NOS parts . . .

    . . . A short driving video is provided above. Service records are described as comprehensive and include maintenance paperwork from the original Italian owner along with invoices from 2006-2014 detailing replacement of a large variety of suspension, steering, clutch, engine, and drivetrain parts . . .

    . . . Notable items within the last 15k kilometers included front struts, rear self-leveling shock absorbers, accumulators, hubs and bearings, control arms, and a steering box, as well as cooling and ignition parts. An array of replacement hoses, seals, fasteners, and hardware is also listed. Further services in 2016 included a new oil pan gasket, auxiliary fan, factory battery, fuses, bulbs, and accessories, while an alignment was performed concurrently with installation of the new tires in April 2017 . . .

    . . . Above is the BMW Classic certificate detailing engine and chassis numbers as well as specifications and options. Documentation also includes ownership history from three collector caretakers, the second of whom imported the car to California in 2005 before it moved on to its current owner, a longstanding BMWCCA member, in 2015. Factory build sheets are included as well as a copy of BMW Car Magazine containing a feature on the car. Federal and California compliance paperwork is also included, and the car last passed a California emissions check in November 2015 . .
