RS1800 X-pack

[ModenaRS2]

nice brochures Jonny, the blue escort, lovely story behind that one, hope the sons owner replies to tell us

btw Ford owned and converted a new RS1800 road car with forest type arches, it was a press car, its the only one i know of, the rest were done by owners or dealers for customers.
is this info in the briefcase G, as its been along time since seeing it
dont have any proof of road cars having the zakspeed box arch, never seen one to date

Sorry, just seen this.

The Blue one was my Dads Rallye Car. It was built from a bare shell and was actually a 4 door 1.1L log booked car

Tricentrol use to sponsor him and used the car for press stuff Mon-Fri and it was Rallyed at the weekend. Some Mondays it went into the paintshop for some TLC

The cars reg was LLA775P I have loads of photos. It was sold after a roll on a stage to a Long Distance Lorry Driver, who was killed in a RTA before he ever got to use it

Went to school in it most days

I see what Robbo meant now, a touching story that

A tad on the tragic side that though about the chap getting his hands on an RS18 then copping for it .

Some pictures above.

Here are some more after the Press stuff stopped and the car was getting well used

Very interesting stuff there.

ooooh, look at those massive non-vented stoppers

Seriously though, I can't recall ever having seen a MkI Fiesta with quarter bumpers

I did have a set of DCNFs for the MkI, but sold them on including the proper RS airbox

Alot of people fabricate their own quarter bumpers using 2 donor bumpers, but mine are the real deal, I only know of one other set and they are in need of refurb. There probably are more of them out there obviously but I dont know where.
Alot of the series x fiesta stuff I get comes from germany, but the quarters were only avaliable in the uk, so they dont have any over there, hehe

I have a rare rs option front splitter (same as on this months CF cover car) and an even rarer Motorsport splitter (from austria ) with matching upper rear spoiler

have been considering selling alot of this stuff recently to help fund engine build for the mex, but its hard to let go of stuff you may not come across again, lol

GJ, you have so much good stuff its awesome! I still haven't found a copy of that rallye news your article was in!

Right so if there were no factory built Series X RS2000s, whats the story with this?

[ModenaRS2]

No Series X RS2000's were Factory built. They were all standard cars, that were Series X'd at the dealer.

This was one of the ones my Dad did whilst at Tricentrol. Most of the cars were done by him as no one was brave enough to cut up a new car

looks like some series x haircuts in that pic daz
