this is but a tiny part of a vast (too Vast !) collection of all things RS.
A few peeps have asked about the various items and you may note that the Rallye Sport Folder is Bulging with goodies also.
anyway, enough of that, the RS mexico/RS2000 A4 section is from a general brochure often overlooked (features a fiesta on the front ) therefore hardly anyone bothered to keep one, thinking it was full of granada/Capri/Cortina stuff.
The Gartrac stuff is interesting and also very usefull, particularly if you are building to Gartrac spec.
The handbooks, well, they are still around, although you need to keep your eyes peeled and be prepared not to flinch too much when told the price, remember each year they increase and become more sought after, just like parts for our RS.

If you are interested in alternative old skool material (GT70/RS Capri etc) then also have a look on the old skool section (chat) of RSOC BB.

Will post some more stuff of interest to mk 2 escort enthusiasts soon,

Hi Dave,
Coming along slowly but nicely, you know it will be worth the wait, i will try and finish it soon for you.

Hi Leon,
yes, the collection is pretty much complete but it does cause some anxiety now and again when i hear about something i have not got, although more often than not it doesnt exist if you know what i mean.
I hope to post some more pics on here, i did not realise how much interest there is for this stuff, and i take it for granted because i can see it everyday at my leisure.

maybe i ought to organise visiting trips to view it all :bom: although most peeps who have seen it end up staying the day to look at all the other stuff.

Any requests for anything mk2 in particular ?
