      how many owners has it had - can be a good indicator to milage (in a funny sort of way, if you get what i mean )

      average miles per year would be somewhere near what it is 79/80 to 1992 - 120,000 ................. if it isnt 19k -

      looks good tho - just like them 'Diaorama' models in a dusty barn

      another one back soon

                seems a bit strange that the lad had worked there for 4 years and didnt even know the car was there

                  if it has 19K,leave it as it is, restore it and leave it. Gerald from Ireland has some competition now!

                        Cripes - one of those fairytale finds, but I would be very dubious of mileage!?! Also, makes you wonder how these things occur doesn't it?? I simply couldn't put an RS into storage for some 18 years and forget all about it; whilst in the process dumps volumes of shite all over it....

                          I know of an rs2000 that is sitting the same way covered in boxes at the back of a m8s garage when hes working on other cars spraing and such he just wipes excess filler and spraypaint onto the escort:winka: if a canfind the pics will get them up think there on old computer still at least the cars in a dry garrage
