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.

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,
