As promised in the other thread I'd put up some pic's of my old Ford RS's, well here they are...enjoy.
First one I owned and they are in order I owned them from 1988 to 2004.

Black...nice, no my MK2 was the one of the first ones hence large black side stripe, RS2000 rear quarter decals 2.0 badges on the front wings. so it had Roll Top recarao's, Fishnet Recaro's didn't come in till 1978/9 when Ford released two version of the RS2000, RS1800 and Mexico. One was a Base model, steel wheels, 1600 sports seats, no clock pod, no centre console and no radio. Some of those choices could be added as options along with rear fog light and rear seat belts.
Custom versions had Centre console, 4 spoke RS alloys, Clock pod in the passenger dash, wing (doors mirrors) Fishnet reaco's and a radio of some sort (various options here) Also could spec the X pack kit with 7in (wide) RS alloys. Rear belts and rear fog lamp, Vinyl roof plus one I think 16 colour options including signal paint. :happy2:

the plate on the rs2000 is VW :grin: it knew you would be in a VW at some point :grin:
nice cars mate

You don't like the Citroen C4 then....
:sick: I know what you mean... :smiley:
-
Wow, nice collection - the Red RS looks a little out of place though if I'm honest.
If only you still had then in that condition eh ... well saying that you'd probably have some scroat trying to nick em!
-
Nice one moschops! I have always loved the old RS's since my brother had a mk1 rs200 in modena green. :love:
Always promised myself a mk1 RS and a mk2 RS when not if I win the lottery! :popcornsoda:
1 question though, after all of those lovely RS's why did you change to VW? :party:
-
Some lovely motors there mate, love the last 2 photos, my parents live 30 secs from the iron bridge :smiley:
-
cracking shots, two rs1600is bet there are not many of them about, love the plate insert on that takes me back :happy2:

Long story, wifes old MK3 fiesta (she'd bought it brand new as well) developed a bad internal rust problem within it's corrosion warranty, Ford didn't want to know so that was part ex'd against a 1.6 M reg Polo to get rid, Mrs Choppers has since always had VW's. 3 fiesta's and now on her 3rd Polo. :smiley:
Then when the MKIV R32 came out I still had the Cossie, really wanted the R, but the trade in on the Vectra we also had at the same time was crap, so I then decided to sell the Cossie for the R32. That started my Journey with VW's... :driver: I still love RS's may get another one some day but hey more than happy with the Golf's. :happy2:

Wigit I think that plate is still in my parents garage... :smiley:

Nice cars, they lost it a bit with the N reg red version.

They did but it was still a nice drive, RS2000 MK6 4X4. :happy2: Plus I only lost £750 on this car after 18 months of ownership... :jumpmove: If I'd hung on to for another 12 months I'd have lost a lot of money as there value dropped like a piano falling off the empire state building... :signLOL:

Ok if we're reminiscing.....
Brother had one of these - Nemesis of the RS2000 (He had one of those as well - rally prepped with a flat front)
Moschops you must have had a race with one of these whilst listening to the Sharp "Synthesiser" radio cassette :laugh:

Excellent taste sir. The Escort RS Cosworth is still a dream car of mine although everyone I know who said the same then bought one said it was a let down. Nonetheless, I still think they rock even now the newest ones are 14 years old.
-
Did you ever map the Cosworth at all? yours was a small turbo I am guessing from the colour, plate and mirrors?
I had an earlier large turbo, very laggy as standard, mapped it straight away, then got the modding bug (yet again!) - ended up with a lovely 350hp example.
became the deposit on my house in the end !! :sad1:
Good times though.
Lovely collection mate. :congrats:

Never felt this with the Cossie, was well pleased with it was a cult car and a real head turner :happy2: Plus it too ages to save up for it.... :innocent: and was my dream car at the time.

Awesome cars.
I just to be BIG into my RS's I had a RS1600i (sunburst), S2 RST and a Saph Cossie ended up going 400bhp with lol.
