Lister launches classic car showroom

Monterey’s special sales

Beige with a brown interior is

usually the preserve of such as

Triumph Acclaims, but Yorkshire

Classic & Sports Cars has the

exception in its showroom: a

1979 Ford Escort RS2000.

Restored in the mid-2000s

with £57,000 spent, the

concours Mk2 is one of the

darlings of the Blue Oval scene

and still a regular award winner.

‘Werthers’, with original

interior and plenty of history,

will set you back £69,500. Visit

ycsc.co.uk for more details.
