As requested a couple of pics taken this year. I have to say they to flatter the old girl somewhat.

looks really good for a 30 year old car and rallied to boot

My car is 28 years old today and came from the same garage as Phil's (Bristol Street Motors, Cheltenham)

Happy B'Day to mine and Phil's RS

[CHELT RS]

Happy birthday to yours Martin. We will have to get them together one day although the distance between us might make it a tad difficult.

today I took delivery of my RS2 from Bristol Street Motors, Cheltenham.
After all this time I still love it and love driving it. It's nowhere near the condition of most RS's on here but it's been used and used hard.
My dream is to do a full resto on it at some point but two front end crashes has taken it's toll along with the 40 or so road rallies it has done winning 2 outright. Apart from the repairs to the front end it is all still original.
I have had lots of good times with it and a few not so good but would never sell it. So here's to the next 30 years. God I've just worked out I'll be 87 by then so I might just be driving a bit slower by then, but not a lot I hope.

Hi Phil,

Your car has just brought memories back of my beloved first RS. On 22/9/79 I bought my 15 month old Signal yellow RS2000 16.000 mls, S Reg, from City Speed in Gloucester, down the road from you. Cost me £3550. I had many years of great motoring, only to be stolen in 1987 and never to be seen again. I have another one which finally replaced it in 1991 which is run on the road and I thoroughly enjoy. But there is nothing like my first RS. In thirty years time I will be 85, and so not far behind you, so all the best to the next thirty years of RSing, mate!
