That's that second time I have seen that one for sale actually. Its mentioned in the thread on Australian 4 Door RS and Rally Pack Cars. I thought his asking price before was twice as much as what it was worth last time so will be interesting to see what it goes for if he sells it this time 8 hours ago, RWL81P said: you can keep your oranges, if my numbers come up tomorrow theres a white rs1600 road car just come on ebay. stunning! You can have mine for 50k instead if your numbers come up! The only difference is you get the orange colour and Lotus on the cam cover instead of Ford! To be fair, my Twincam is a bit off tat compared to that RS1600. You wouldn't find a better one anywhere I don't think. 65 grand though seems about the going price in the UK for Twincams/RS1600s so its not over the top once you settle after that initial gasp at first look of the price.

Im more of a large underground bunker type myself. That way I can still take those road trips after the proverbial has hit the fan too. But its the same dream just different logistics.
skeeter Posted October 14, 2017 Report Posted October 14, 2017 I agree about orange cars, they look great. In fact my current daily is orange and it makes a lovely change to see it among the drab grey/silver/black brigade. S
colr6 Posted October 14, 2017 Report Posted October 14, 2017 This topic is quite good really cos if you've ever owned a black car, you certainly wouldn't have another one!! Any colour than black.Orange is a lot more forgiving and its in your face, bit of a posers colour really. oh bugger may have said something wrong there ?

In Australia these days most hearses are no longer black but in fact white. With our sun and heat it gave a different meaning to roasting in the car. It only takes one summer and the black car owners swear never again! Nothing wrong said at all Col it was helpful information. I have to change the will now and leave the Twincam to Scott as I definitely know he appreciates a good Orange

One I know of is in Scotland. This is how my Twincam probably should look if I didn't neglect it. No Australian Mk1 had round headlights though Mine is a deeper burnt orange as well. 1

We had to export them somewhere because no one here was going to drink the crap and the Americans wouldn't drink them because they weren't watered down enough!

Moderator Rally Pack 2000 Posted October 23, 2017 Author Moderator Report Posted October 23, 2017 I haven't seen grey Mexico striping used before. What are the two dots on the sill under the door?
katana Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Chassis Stands I would imagine - common on race cars - stable with all wheels up and good underside access.
colr6 Posted October 23, 2017 Report Posted October 23, 2017 Think it was mk2 Mike who did a seriously ORANGE escort on here but can't find it to put a pic up. But be warned you will need dark specs !!
