It was actually a Mk1 Big Wing in Modena, reg was OKO***M.
Probably got a photo of it somewhere......seem to recall it was fitted with BBS type multi spoke rims when it first appeared?(this would have been around mid 80's)
I've found 4 pics of the car from back then at the AVO Nationals S/Hall, loved that place.dxg said:
Stumbled across a little local garage / dealer in Scotland at the weekend with what looked like one of those sitting for sale.
Or, at least, it was that colour and had those arches on it...
Good find there chap...Think we need to know more Or, at least, it was that colour and had those arches on it...
If you get a chance grab a pic if you're passing that way again won't you

Car is looking fantastic so far Always wanted a bubble arched RS2 since I was a nipper....it's taken a long time

Found it... well this is from 2007 not aware of who has it now ?
Nice one, well found 
I could be wrong but the last time I saw a pic online of the car was a shot of the front tyre showing the width from the front or something like that, 
think that was it...tyre was certainly large thats for sure. Was a few years back now and most likely an OSF post 1962 said:

Thanks for the photo as I meant to take one today, I saw the Modena RS2000 thereand thought of this thread. It looks so much better in Modena than the Cortina Mk3 my Dad had back in the day (LUX609P, but I should imagine it is long gone now).

Possibly the place to ask....
My car though not run and settled properly I guess has 2" blocks at the rear but it's still not sitting low enough...any ideas?
Rear springs can be de-cambered ie flattened to lower the back end. Got to watch for the diff contacting the floor though.My car though not run and settled properly I guess has 2" blocks at the rear but it's still not sitting low enough...any ideas?

It's going great thanks!
They are great to drive even today. Apart from the visuals and the sounds, it feels modern to drive!
I used to own a Stardust RS2, WGY 199M 30 years ago.
You owned an RS2 30 years ago !!....Top man. So you've held onto all those memories with your old RS2 and now your reliving those days with another...for some more. Thats Brilliant They are great to drive even today. Apart from the visuals and the sounds, it feels modern to drive!
