I can see your logic.
It means that yours was the first to start being made as an rs500, as ford did assign a specific batch of chassis numbers to them.
But I can also see that the first numbered by tickford is the one they consider number one.
Interesting debate, to which there will NEVER be an answer all agree on.
Im sure the guy with a plaque in his car saying it is number 001 is never going to recognise that another car with a different number is in fact the first.
