Warriorwil Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Hello,! Just joined the site today after seeing loads of posts on Twitter but not being able to access them as i was not a member, so now i can. I suppose i am suffering a mid life crisis as my wife puts it, a couple of weeks ago i became the owner of a very nice low mileage Mk 2 RS2000 in Riviera Blue, which after looking for the right car for nearly a year turned up about one mile away from where we live, it was never advertised for sale as the chap who owned it actually approached me after hearing i was looking for one, unbelievable but true. The car is totally standard in every way with not a single mod at all, and is very clean and tidy, and i am amazed at the attention it gets where ever it goes, and is a great conversation piece. Looking forward to attending the many shows this year and to meeting likeminded people. Mike 3

marky4 Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Can't wait to see the pics I to have a riviera blue RS the best colour if you ask me ( ducks lol)
Warriorwil Posted May 22, 2014 Author Report Posted May 22, 2014 Can't wait to see the pics I to have a riviera blue RS the best colour if you ask me ( ducks lol) Lovely colour to be fair, not many around now and I think they only made 250 . I've bought some gold minilites to go on the car whilst I get the original wheels refurbished, they look great , but still prefer the original wheels. Looking forward to going to Classic Ford next weekend, 2
mk2 mike Posted May 22, 2014 Report Posted May 22, 2014 Well done mate. I'm on the lookout for a nice RS too.
Admin Vista Posted May 22, 2014 Admin Report Posted May 22, 2014 Welcome to OSF, riviera blue is indeed a lovely colour...............second to Vista Orange of course albeit that wasn't a mk2 colour 1
katana Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 Its a funny thing - I got my Riviera blue RS2000 2 years ago now and thought it was a strange colour as I can't remember ever seeing one that colour 'back in the day' or in the RS Sales brochure that was my day time reading until I bought a 3 yr old in Black. Mine looked good and I never dug that deeply but the more I do, it is revealing its interesting 'history'! Martin told me it was a rare colour but didn't realise it was only 250 units............and it is actually growing on me probably because its such a 'retro' colour - pastel type colours just aren't seen these days. Just got to finish the Zetec install, complete the wiring then screw it all back together.........so 12 months then!
Warriorwil Posted May 23, 2014 Author Report Posted May 23, 2014 I really do like Riviera Blue on an Escort, I believe Porsche use the colour as well on some cars, I was looking for a Yellow one or an Blue one so was very pleased when I was offered this one.
over_head_cam Posted May 23, 2014 Report Posted May 23, 2014 Nothing wrong with a MLC. I do like a Riviera blue Mk2 too

Warriorwil Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Posted May 24, 2014 Wow that's lovely Thanksmate, yours looks nice with the supalites/ minilites on, ill put a few more up when ive mastered this picture uploading thing!!
marky4 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 That's an old picture it now has the ronals on and a broad stripe as it's an early one
Warriorwil Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Posted May 24, 2014 That's an old picture it now has the ronals on and a broad stripe as it's an early one ive just bought a set of JBW minilites in Gold with polished rim, they look the dogs, but a little too close to the wheel arches for my liking, ill find the pics
marky4 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Have your arch lips been rolled it gives you more clearance
Warriorwil Posted May 24, 2014 Author Report Posted May 24, 2014 Have your arch lips been rolled it gives you more clearance No they have not, ill have a think about it, ive just sent the original alloys to be refurbished, painted and diamond cut, hopefully they will be back by tuesday,
DT36 Posted May 24, 2014 Report Posted May 24, 2014 Same wheels as mine, Mate. My arches have been rolled to take them.
