It was based on an XR3i. As said already although they were called RS1900's not all had the 1900. A friend had one in about 1989 and it had a 1600 in it. The genuine ones had a dash plaque as there were a limited number produced. Fast Ford did a feature on them at the time. I have a copy somewhere of it.

LOL, they did kinda look ok once, and better than the RGM (??) kits available
Saw a really nice Mint white, proper wide arched/dished wheels RST in London once, can't remember the kit though - could have been Reiger.
