Hi all, some restoration photos, all under coat completed and in the new blue underneath and inside everywhere. The full re spray should be done in 2 weeks

Hi all, my first post, new to the website. I have had two Ford escort RS 2000 both mk 2’s in the last 3 years. Droop snoop and flat front. Both sold recently i found it quite easy to gauge a price for these, when I bought and when I sold 30k average £35k good and £40k very good etc. But I find it very difficult to price up a mk 1 RS 2000 because there are hardly any for sale. I know there will be a big difference in prices depending on how good the car is and how much paperwork there is but for a quite good mk 1 RS2000 (I am looking for one used so showing some paintwork scars etc. and not a garage queen) what is the ballpark cost for one? Are they more expensive than mk 2 due to being more rare?

Quick Dave get the name legally registered. You never know if Ford would want to steel it for their next plastic car. Or maybe not 🤣

What the…..🤣 The all new Ford Legscort

Nostalgia is a powerful motivation especially as you get older and the tech world seems to be so dehumanizing and consuming the world with poor quality goods and service. I have even bought cereal box toys cause they reminded me of my youth. Truth is that he wont loose money from it devaluing or anything. I am thankful the lack of enthusiasm for change made me hang onto my cars although I did have a three month affair with a Mini Clubman before resurrecting RP2000 from the rust jaws of death.

Trouble is @Minilitemanthis has smashed the ceiling price and the buyer won't get it back drive it or not. The upside for us all is prices and values will go up, the downside is that the Ford Tax on parts will do to 🤔. Is it a 👍 or 👎?

Sorry - how much ? ? ? Some people seriously need their bumps felt !

Looks like a nice car already mate! Glad you found one you like And don't worry, most of us here would fail to get approval from the purists, but it's each to their own I say!

Hi it’s a 1974 Ford Escort mk 1 RS 2000 which will not be for the purists because it has been modified by the previous owner to his taste, flared arches, bucket seats, roll cage and some rally switches etc. Still a lot on it as an RS though, white with blue decals, RS alloys, 2 litre original engine and AVO vin plate etc. In my opinion the previous owner has done an amazing job and has rebuilt himself from a rotting shell, he’s the best at total restorations IMO. With having the modifications I have decided to continue with what’s been done already and make it a tribute car aiming for it to be the same as the Ford in Fast and Furious 6, including a bare metal respray to blue with white decals. Photos of now and then the plan.
