How many Escort RS 1800’s were made ?
More to the point how many are left now?
Speaking to a chap tonight who tells me he’s owned one from six months old!
Seems a long time to sit on a gold mine lol
Apart from the engine and flat front what was so diffo from the RS2000?

Dave Robinson is the man. I've heard 109 road cars also. All white except two red?

A number officially scrapped but some log books survive. Genuine road cars are rare. Not often seen for sale and attract big money when ever they surface.

CheeRS,

Joe.

Has also been known to prepare a Sprint/Hillclimb Citroen Visa 1905cc Gti local to him in sunny Bexhill on Sea. May even have won it's class at Lydden Hill or Debden events last weekend.

In an unsuccessful attempt not to look shifty or gay or both in the process, the driver and assistant of the Visa GTi worked on by Vince Bristow attempt to make it look like a Ford by fitting XR2 wheels at the July Castle Combe sprint in 2006.
