Something arrived in the UK today, not to everyones taste but...

Very tidy! Oh my god though the feckwits will have a field day with that one, you should put a tape recorder on top of the wheel at a show and walk away, some of the comments will make your toes curl, I've lost count of the times I've overheard some know it all fool tell his mate mine's a ghia....
Well done for being "alternative"!

[LOUIE]

Nice looking thing that and as everyone's said nice to break from the norm..

[Martin]

Glad it arrived safely

Will be good to see it out at shows next year

I like the OP's 4 door, no doubt lots of know it alls will declare it a replica or a 1.3 with a nose cone fitted. Looks nice and clean under the bonnet too.

RSDC1: I love the colour of your RS, even though I'm guessing it wasn't an original option (love to be proved wrong though) it looks superb with the polished wheels setting it off nicely. I prefer it to my own black one.

Going over to Brisbane in January. So will have a good look then,6 weeks there so plenty of looking time.Which ship did you use,and container or roll on roll off ?

[mike77cos]

We both used roro, by far cheaper for a car on its own than a container

Thanks for that!
No it's meant to be black but we wanted to be different... It is a period ford shade (Jupiter met) but sadly not available in RS models

[Groupcracer]

Ok it's easy done to shut the idiots up.

model number
11938 four door on compliance plates 11918 two door and there's a couple of other ways you can tell. Spot light on ford escort will tell you.

Anyway, looks nice was it a New South Wales car?

Four Doors aren't holding their values over here any more. Personally I've owned both and still own two door and much prefer two door.

There are guys here buying 4 doors though.
2 door RS's are getting harder to find so some people are settling for a 4 door.
Me ,personally,i love my 4 door and wouldnt swap it for a 2 door
Funny thing is,here in Oz there were more 2 door Mk2 RS2000's built than there were 4 doors. Go figure

[Mr. Escort]

Glad it arrived safey Mike, as said before we were getting use to it sat in the shed at Pete's place.

Now find me an Imperial Blue Escort Cossie so I can ship it out here....low milage and big turbo pls.
