the trade fair was at the ricoh area it was by invite only
the mk is still an untapped area i think that minichamps threatened rs200 & rs 1800 are causing a problem here i was speaking to one of the guyus behind the model icon range and asked if they had though about modifing a mk2 into the rs2000 but it was judged to be cost prohibited
but mexicos and harriers seem like a no brainer i mean it not like therse much rthey would have to do to the sport worringly though there are only three escort road cars listed in the price list i got the red rs1600i and the 2 forthcomming xr3i cabrios

maybe give them a year or 2
i suggested to the guy from model icos he take a look at this site and see how many custom s1 turbos are being done as its a missed market niot to mention the rs1700t or a phase 2 rs turbo
