danny69 Posted December 15, 2006 Report Posted December 15, 2006 I worked as a contractor (painting & decorating) in Fords at Aveley and also in the seperate AVO building. Unfortunately it was in the late 80`s early nineties and the escort days were long gone, but there was still some RS200 spares kicking about. The cars had been there too as they were struggling to shift them at the time.
