Could not agree more. Looks great

While we're at it - is there a summary of RS2000's produced according to the month, the colour, 2/4 Door etc?

We can proably start to collate this according to the Serial No (would be in numeric order with the lower number produced earlier.

This is going down the road of a lot of 'registers' where you can start to identify cars that were produced first/last up, rarity in terms of colur (ie: 5? silver ones) or transmission. All in the name of vanity and potentially increasing the value of cars that are 'special'.

Whilst not in the same league - Aust Muscle Car had a similar listing of all the RPO 83's (XA GT) when they did a feature article on the car.

yeh,thats good news (for me),as for ford verification I have a letter from ford regarding my RS however they couldnt/wouldn't tell me how many RS autos were manufactured.

when i rocked up at my mates house to show her my rs2000, her mum came out and told me she had an rs2000 auto 4 door back in the day, with recaro seats and what not, i wasn't to sure if they had ever even made a real auto rs , so good to find out its true, wether hers was real or not may be a different storey, but all good information either way

i managed to get the names and current addresses of all 14 previous owners of my RS..... just had to ask a very nice policeman friend of mine and promise to never mention it
