class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The Ford factory&#8217;s special vehicle engineering department was tasked to supply the car and it fitted a regular five-slat front grille to assist in the &#8216;stealth makeover&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">There was also a secondary rear-view mirror for the protection officer with a radio in the glove box, with the cable still visible.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The car has just 24,961 miles on the clock and is in an excellent condition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">It also has a lifetime tracker fitted which can be transferred to the new owner, a spare key, Ford Motor Company internal memos, and period registration documents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">Arwel Richards, a classic car specialist at Silverstone Auctions, said: &#8216;The RS Turbo is a driver&#8217;s car and the late Diana, Princess of Wales was clearly a fan, and it was a fascinating choice for the daughter of an earl, mother of the future king, and the daughter-in-law of the Queen to choose.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;Isn&#8217;t it fascinating that the Escort RS Turbo was to be synonymous with the white stilettos of Essex but it&#8217;s first champion was the most glamorous woman on Earth?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">In June 2021, another Ford Escort used by Diana sold at auction for \u00a352,000.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">After being won on a radio station competition in the 90s, this car was privately owned for a number of years before becoming part of a Ford RS collection, where it has been kept in &#8216;top condition&#8217;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">The auctioneering firm said: &#8216;Parallels could be drawn with the RS Turbo&#8217;s reputation as the People&#8217;s Sports Car and the honorific of People&#8217;s Princess bestowed by the British public on Princess Diana.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mol-para-with-font\">&#8216;The RS Turbo was never designed to be driven by the wife of the second in line to the British throne nor to transport the future King.&#8217;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>            <!-- ad:
