mk1 Escort RS2000 - looking for my Dad's old car

[BCF1700]

Hi folks

 

Appreciate this is a long shot, but...

 

My old man has just posted this on the RS Owners club forum, and thought I would add a shout on here for him too.  His post is below:

 

"On 6th November 1974 I drove out of Norman Reeves showrooms in Uxbridge in a brand new Mk1 RS 2000 in stardust with blue decals, a stereo cassette radio and underseal as extras. I was so happy. Anyone know where it might be now - reg. GLT 293 N.
I still have the sales invoice and service book if anyone who owns it wanted copies.
Hope someone can help
Thanks"

 

A bit more background story - he lost his licence in this car in 1977, when he thought it would be a good idea to race an unmarked Police car!  Hence he sold it on to a chap who, it turned out, had just written off a Lotus Esprit.

 

Any information to trace it is very much appreciated, not necessarily looking to buy it as I am sure it is well loved by someone, I think he would just like to see it again.

 

Thank in advance

According to the DVLA it's still around and is currently taxed but is now red rather than stardust. I don't recognise the reg no off hand though. The AVO club might have details of the car

Many thanks, we've seen that it's got tax and an mot so we thought it might be worth an ask!  We'll check out the AVO club too, thank you for that lead, very much appreciated.  I managed to dig up a photo of it by googling the registration, made Dad a bit emotional!

Thanks, actually looks like it might have sold through there 7 years ago!

I've posted this on the AVO forum to see if anyone knows the car. You might want to try the AVO Owners Retards Club page as well.
