I haven't read all of the comments so excusee if it has been said but there are some great choice examples missing (from what I can see) which would be first on my source list:
RS1800 & RS Mexico (MK2 Escorts)
RS Mexico, RS 1600, RS2000 & Twin Cam (MK1 Escorts)
And both RS Capri derivatives
Great collection though...

It had a plate change to try to hide the original identity of the car,it's since been changed back and not only for show. Have a read of this http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a... The picture on the wall behind the car shows the plate too:

lotusmad2001 said: It shows a picture of a focus RS plaque as 1 out of 500 wheras its actually 1 of 100. I noticed this when we had a pre facelift ST500 in at work that also had a 1/500 plaque, we couldnt believe it until we found out.
Jonny I hate to tell you this jonny, but I worked at ford and all the st500's had the sticker 1 of 500! I sold 4 of them and I also thought I had sold the 1st one! The rules were once the order was placed, you emailed ford with vin and they then sent you the st500 badge and the 1 of 500 sticker! Very sneaky of them but I'm sure your not the only one that thinks this! On the plus side, are you aware your car has launch control? All st2/3/500 have it! Just floor it in 1st with the clutch in and it will hold the revs at 3000 rpm, then bang the clutch out! Hope that softens the bad news! Cheers

Well this thread takes me back to the mid 90's.....
I was working in Royston, Hertfordshire just after finishing Uni. I got to know a young man who was a friend of someone I worked with at the time. He often drove a black RS turbo (I think it belonged to his Mam). I was drooling over it one day and can clearly remember him telling me that it used to belong to Diana. At the time, I took that statement with a pinch of salt. Maybe he was telling me the truth after all.....

Superb, not jealous, just full of admiration, oh to have the money to do stuff like that, actually I suspect with RS Fords, purchased and kept like this it probably one of the best investments you could make in the current climate.
