Yes, I believe so. Heard it was built to celebrate the Queen's Jubilee or something.

Interesting enough thread Any chance of a few pictures to stop the uneducated among us from making a fool of ourselves one day over some of the rarer colours?

Have ford reintroduced signal red 80 on the new ka ? seen few about looks very similar ?

a silver mk2 rs2000 with a 'Gerard stripe' and silver 7"s would look sweet

Yes, if there was one built it was sold to a member of the public ( don't know for sure how many were built, possibly only one! ).
I spoke to someone who saw the car years ago ( 25-30 years ago! ) and it was all silver and had the special order paint sticker on the inner wing same as the black ones.
I tried to track it down recently but I think it's dead now.

thats a shame seeing as it was uniquie you would think someone would have looked after it

[CHELT RS]

remember reading about the extra charge for signal ,i had a midnight blue RS2000 custom with the tan interior was a lovely colour and car

Just had a look at my original bill of sale for my RS and I was charged £20.99 for signal paint plus £1.75 car tax

donnt mean to offend but donnt think i wpuld go for that colour was it a special order ,could the ordinary man of the street go to ford and specify pretty much any colour as long as you paid it or just those in the colour chart ie signal colours etc
