View Full Version : Old Photos Out of loft
Gents , bear with me on this , nuclear engineer by trade but this picture lark takes a bit of sorting out . Been in the loft and dug out photos from shows many years ago , no scanner hence digi photo of original print (!).
If you think the quality is upto looking at I will put some more up. Below should be a print of a yellow RS2 , this was taken at Burghly House in 88 I think , this was the first MK2 to start doing the shows with full leather trim.

Early shot of 'FMC' pre cossie days , not even a 7" alloy in sight . Drayton Manor '89
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02024.JPG
Ders should be able to help out with this one , came from North of the Border , Angus Heaps car ? Lowther Park 90 (?)
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02019.JPG
Apologies , I know the quality is bad but that last one was awful , this next one belonged to a guy called Steve Brindley who was an official of the club in the early 80's , think he sold the Regalia , I also have a feeling Ders looked at this car several years ago when it was for sale

Hi Paul,
yes youre right i went to buy Steve Brindleys car around 87/88. I travelled to Stafford from home in Glasgow but was very disappointed with it. He was asking around £4,500, it had a leaking sunroof, several other faults. Needless to say i never bought it.
As for JSD 35W, Angus still owns it to this day but is in poor condition from what i have heard.
I have several hundred pics of RS`s in the 80/90`s will post some once i figure out how!
CheeRS Ders.
Hope this works,
MUT84 engine bay from Nat Day sept89 (stanford hall)

Nice job seeing they were not far off new then still looking for mine
HRS901V , Signal red for those of you in black and white , came from Scotland and was very nice , eventually stripped for rebuild but rotted away in someones garden (no names mentioned) and I believe broke in two when it was tried to move it , never mind the trim was mint and I bought it. Then I sold it on to Mr. Hoarder , its a small world.
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02035.JPG
Very early picture of Paul Baileys Cossie MK2 when it was still a nice straight road car , this is now an all or nothing X-packed track car. Stanford Hall 89 ish (?)
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02043.JPG
Its at Chatsworth House and thats all I have to say about this one
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02036.JPG
YHH610T , one of the original concours champs , used to give RUDIT and BCG a run for their money . Was owned by Paul Corkhill of Blackpool at the time , late 80's , I'd like this one myself as the reg suggests it came from County Garage Carlisle , my local (40 miles away) RS dealer at the time.

Another Blackpool car , restored by Mick Taylor , photo at National Day.
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02039.JPG
KEC284T , not a concours car but my first mk2 RS2000 , if anyone knows the whereabouts of this car I would like to buy it back , and yes , leggings were in fashion at the time , she'll kill me if she knows this pic is on here !!
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02042.JPG
Some very good pics there mate keep em coming :cheers:
Stanford Hall , I have a feeling this was owned by the Patel brothers also , GP1 airbox fitted
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02050.JPG
I think this was a Scottish car at the time , Lowther Park , early 90's
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02044.JPG
This is a very early one , 83/84 I think , just about run in I would say
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02047.JPG
Now this one belonged to a good friend of mine , sold and left these shores for Ireland a good few years ago , any Irish members care to update ?
http://www.redslate.co.uk/upload/pics/DSC02052.JPG
Stanford Hall again , haven't seen this one about lately

Hi Paul,
FCS 755V belongs to Ricky Wood of the North East Scotland RSOC, he owned it then and still does. It is being restored which is why its not been seen at shows for a while.

Thanks Paul for the pics.

nice to see some old pictures of the bluestripe,
wonder where the RS2s have gone,back in 91 at Donnington there was plentyful of them in concourse over 10 did the likes of BCG, RPU and rudit
kill the others off they must be around somewhere.
D
All i can say with seeing dave 1800 in the flesh is she will be well worth the wait - shes bloody gorgeous.
A credit to the mans hardwork.

paul you have me in tears ,i used to own HRS 901V my favourite all time car,it broke my heart when i went to see it again after all those years it did indeed break in two after standing outside for ten or so years.You may recall me and Ders coming down to visit the cumbria group just for a run had a pint or two with you and i think russell.I went to stafford with Ders to view steve brindleys car we could write a book on the many,many heaps we travelled to view all over the uk every weekend.I remember the fun we had in the club in those days and your pictures of drayton manor,stanford hall,lowther park bring many good memories flooding back.Ask Ders to recall some of them as i am sure no one would believe us.I sold HRS to buy a midnight blue mk2 UFS 373Y imported from the isle of man in 1983.i have plenty photos too but dont know how to put them up
I remember the time you came down to our local meet , that must've been about 88/89 , I still had KEC the Riviera blue 2000 . I have added a pic below of UFS taken at Hopetoun House in the early 90's I would think. Nice to hear from the old skool and I hope I am not remembered for the wrong reasons !!!!!!!

Paul, as you seem to have all the Mk2 RS's in the world in your photo album have you got any of these RS2000's :
AOV 725T Diamond White/BVR/Webasto - ex Andy Edwards - seen in Rallye news circa 1989 ? and at National day etc. Nearly finished re-building this one - as a fast road car - not a show pony !!
RGC 132V Nordic Blue - Reading , Berkshire Car, spent it's last years on the road in Essex, now undergoing a concours re-build. (trailer queen to be )
GWE 111V Venetian Red - Last few years in Essex, mostly garaged and stripped !! - spares car - no interior when I bought it, this is the bugger that nearly crashed into the side of my van when the borrowed trailer came unhitched and I had to ram it off the road. Good job the car was well strapped down. Funny now, but it wasn't then !
WEG 244T Venetian Red /Black vinyl- only two owners on this,last one in Kent now a Gp4 Shell - to be my tracky.
APY 455T Diamond White - Spent last 10 odd years in Suffolk/North Essex, I'm breaking this one - just wondered if anyone knew of it.
FTG 222V Diamond White - Last few years in and around Essex, spare car for rebuild at a much later date !!
Just wonderin' like ??
Great pics, I don't suppose you have a photo of a RS2000 reg number SLV626T Calypso/White, (started life as Calypso)
thanks
Ricky

That a beauty... is it yours, come on tell us the story... :cheers:
The mex belonged to my wife`s cousin then i bought it after it was smashed. He bumped it at the front then left it sitting in the garden for approx 10 years. I went to look at it and found birds nesting in the centre console, rats had eaten some of the interior, and rust had destroyed the bodyshell (the sea is only 1/4 mile away). I salvaged what i could from it last year, rolling it over to get to the underside. The rest was put in the crusher and now its a cube about 3 ft square and sits in a srapyard on the island of Barra in the Outer Hebridies.

I managed to get the RS1800 pics at about 07:00 in the morning, hence the empty pitlane.
I suppose the down side to being on track all day (yeah right lol) is not being able to walk round and see the cars on display.
