My Old Mex and RS2

[60ftman]

Just rummaging through some old stuff and I found some stuff about my old Mk2 Mex.

 

It was yellow with a stock 1600 pinto. Reg No RWN 968 S. One of the best cars I ever owned. I sold it about ten years ago to a youngster who couldn't afford to insure it.

 

Anyone know if it's still about?

Just found details of another one of my OSF's:

 

Escort RS2000 Mk2

 

DFM 800 S

 

It was yellow (there's a surprise!) and almost mint.

I sold it in about 2003, caught up with it again in a friend's transmission garage about a year later, but I wonder where it is now.

 

Unlike the Mex it needed very little work. Another really nice car and (aside from the sunroof) one I'd have again at any time.

 

Enduring image I have of the car was when my eldest daughter borrowed it for a while when her car was off the road, watching it in a perfect tail-out drift around the 'T' junction we used to live on every time she came to visit.
