here is the info i have

the youth your right about the g reg one dude

ever wanted to know what fords secret development escort was?????

well after a massive amount of research ive come up with this info

a s2 was one of the first 4x4 vehicle using a transverse engine system
rather than the ferguson hardware enigne itstallation, although the 4x4
system was subseguently put on hold.

this design was latter passed on to the mainstream ford enginering
departments it was latter used in the transverse-enigne escort rs 2000
that was revealed in september 1993.

right there was one that was built by some guy that was working for ford
some time ago this was a 4x4 and the reg number is E388 YVX i beleave
this is the first one that was done,

a second 4x4 s2 was G343 FRE
back in 1989 a guy called john found a number of cut-up ex-ford
development cars in a breaker's yard all of which had rather trick 4x4
drive line's, the cars were from a batch of 40 s2 shells that were made to
run the 4x4 running gear at the time these were put together for the use
of the ford research development at dunton,

what i would like to know is what did happen to the rest of the shells after
all there was 40 made did thay cut them all up after

more info comming latter about a secret rs 2000 mark 2 and a mexico
plus a g reg escort cossie prototype
