S1 Escort RS turbo. Please confirm

[DeanR32]

Simple question

Did Ford ever make a Series 1 RS turbo in any other colour than White (and the black one for Princess Diana)?

Red ones for a race series IIRC?

I think the Datapost/Post Office promotional cars were originally white and then resprayed after.

Someone high up at the Post Office had a red one on the back of it.

There were 2 factory black cars - one for Princess Diana and the other for Prince Michael

What colours left the factory? Obviously White, 2 black ones then and one red one? A bloke in work reckons his mate has a red one from the factory. I say it must have been painted. He begs to differ.

I'd say black and white were bare metal paints.
The red ones were originally white and were re-done in red after by Ford/dealerships
