Well done Daz

saved me a load of typing , lol

The cars were NOT rs500"s until driven out of the Tickford factory so listed by them and numbered by them

Nobody after 25 years has ever questioned this until some silly fella wishes to try and gain some providence for his car by trying to change history

Number 1 is build number 1 built as a prototype and painted white ,,end of story

Micheal , your car was the first car to be taken from the assembly line and put into a compound ready to be converted , it wss NOT the first 500 built hence NOT build number 1
