Forget the 1980's onward versions , it's the 1970's for the real deal 911 shape (same for Escorts)

I understand the Ford half hearted collection of stuff is still about on the remains of the Dagenham site somewhere.

Tugs, sounds like a quality day out for us country folk in the big smoke, last time I saw pictures of Fords heritage collection I thought it was all a bit new and poorly arranged, I kept this photo

Oi thats my back garden !

And after moaning about Ford not being bothered about their history, I eat humble pie ! Late last night I saw a post on Facebook for Frankies classic car show at Dunton for " St Francis hospice" a local hospice and they held a classic car show. Well done to FoMoCo to have it in their grounds.

Great to see lots of RWD Escorts and the RSOC people put a good show of cars on as well. So did the TR club and lots of other individual people .

Never saw may Porches though.....Not that it matters as it was nice to see people taking their cars out and showing them off for nothing other than help raise funds for a hospice.

I my mind that what's owning an older car should be about whatever it maybe, nostalgia .

Not often I find myself agreeing with mk1gaz, but with regard to the Porsche 911 Carrera RS Lightweight I do.

It can be described in two words, Automotive Porn.

So this RS2000 just sold.

�22.500 with commission.

1975 Ford Escort Mk.I RS2000

http://www.historics.co.uk/buying/auctions/2013-08-31/car/1975-ford-escort-mki-rs2000.aspx?p=11

The Mk. I Ford Escort was introduced in the UK at the end of 1967, making its show debut at Brussels Motor Show in January 1968 and replacing the successful long running Anglia. Escorts became successful as a rally car, and eventually went on to become one of the most successful rally cars of all time. The Ford works team was practically unbeatable in the late 1960's and early 1970's; arguably the Escort's greatest victory was in the 1970 London to Mexico World Cup Rally being driven by Finnish legend Hannu Mikkola. This gave rise to the Escort Mexico special edition road versions in honour of the rally car. In addition to the Mexico, the RS1600 was developed which used a Kent engine block with a 16-valve Cosworth cylinder head. This engine was essentially a de-tuned Formula 3 engine designated BDA. Both the Mexico and RS1600 were built at Ford's Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) facility located at the Aveley Plant in South Essex. As well as higher performance engines and sports suspension, these models featured strengthened bodyshells, making them ideal for rallying. Ford also produced an RS2000 model as an alternative to the somewhat temperamental RS1600, featuring a 2.0Litre Pinto (OHC) engine. This also chalked up some rally and racing victories and pre-empted the hot-hatch market as a desirable but affordable performance road car. Like the Mexico and RS1600, this car was produced at the Aveley plant. Originally registered on 1st May 1975, this Escort RS 2000 is supplied with a host of paperwork, confirming it to be an original RS 2000, together with a V5 registration document and a full year's MoT test certificate. The engine runs well, with the vehicle being described by the vendor as 'gives a fantastic driving experience'. Restoration has been carried out on the Escort and she presents in good condition. Finished in the instantly recognizable colours of white with blue stripes and black trim, this is a car which men of a certain age will aspire to. A rare car and sure to create interest.

Level or up or down?

Edit.... If this is worth 22.500 then mines worth a million

**Frosticles** · 04-09-2013, 21:31

LOL. Strong money for that.
