finally get a pic up thanks for the help guys.the yellow 6JO 263 was my first RS and i would love to know if its still in existence.registered in Perth as 1AUS 192 i sold it 4-5 years ago.saddest day letting her go but im starting again with the white RS,here we go again.Jaffa belongs to the old fella,restored to english specs and its a stunner.

hi

i met your old fella and Jaffa at Gingin British Car day last year it's a real stunner

yeh its changed hands since then its now with my old man so you must of met the previous owner who has done a fantastic job.it doesnt see much daylight now unfortunately locked up for dry weather use only,hes a diehard rs junky been in english rs owners club for 30 odd years and owned some nice motors so i guess this is him holding onto whatevers left of his youth.

hope to see it out again sometime

Hmmm interesting.. I know both these cars, both very tidy examples. Jaffa was a Canberra car and I used to see it parked outside the national library everyday when I lived there. Was yellow back then and had twin webers, hotwires. A few very minor dings but no rust anywhere. I tried to buy it but the owner (Ben) didn't want to sell then in late 2004 sold it for a song to someone (craigsa?) on this forum who took it to Sydney and then to Geraldton? Haven't seen it since the original classic ford gathering in Canberra... 2004.. there might be some pictures of it floating around somewhere.

And the white RS used to live about 50m from my place until a few weeks ago

yep thats right.craig still lives in geraldton and recently sold the car to us.that triggered me into buying the white one of a guy callled ashley who lives in warwick wa.he mentioned there was another rs floating around the neighbourhood,possibly you.craig did mention the previous condition of the car and it being yellow but it has changed considerably since then and its a great example i think anyway.other than not having the original recaro seats its close to being english specs.its good to get some history on these cheeRS.

i used to live in geraldton and i seen an original orange rs came into work one day,i took a photo of it
i used to work at langer ford and then when it got taken over and turned into midwest auto group

i also saw Jaffa at the British Car Day. One of the nicest RSs I have seen. Your white car looks a lot like my mates. He will be pleased :-)

That white RS looks just like a turbo pinto powered car that I did a couple of hot laps in at Barbagallo about 10 years ago! Can't remember the name of the bloke who owned it though.

Cheers,

yeh same car.ashley was the owner then ive bought the car recently from him.unfortunately without the turbo pinto in it[8~2]
