Is Modena Green it's original colour....?

Back in the mid 1980's when I was RS2000 Registrar for the AVO OC, there was 3 original factory big wing RS2000's on the register, and none of them were Modena, so I'm guessing this a post mid 80's 'discovery'.....??

Nice

That may be the case. I have a letter dated January 2002 from the then AVO Club Secretary stating that they only know of four Special Build RS2000's, one of which is in Malaysia.......

This car along with it's known history can be verified that it came out of Aveley in Modena Green.

whats with the wing/door/quarter gaps? and it looks like the back axel needs relocating or the arch is wonky

Have you never owned an old Ford :-)

Some good comments guys.

Yes the Marine Blue is with same owner, we parked along side each other at National Day.

The earliest photo I have, not sure of date.

Lovely car Sir....

I have a Modena Mk1 too, its so nice to see a Big Wing. I remember going to the AVO Nationals at Stanford Hall back in the day, I often saw a Mk1 RS2000 in Modena with a registration that I'm sure began with OKO.... it was such a nice car, AVO or not. Got anymore pics of yours?

OKO, I'm not familiar with, Stanford Hall was a great venue.
