were all rs500's E reg????
a friend of mine says he knows someone with a D plate 18,000 miler with 480bhp
i allways thought rs500s were E reg?

anyone know different?

 

i dont think they were all e plate,not 100% sure though,pm northyorksrsspares of here,he's they rsoc registar so he'd know and might be intrested in registering your mates car

 

There was a few in D reg's which were development cars but think there is only 3 or 4 of these, might be wrong.

 

Mate of mine has a d reg 500,and it is 100% genuine

cheeRS stu

 

Some were sold before 1987 but most of them were sold after, so its very possible that it is gen.

 

there's a white D reg one near me. i've been told it's a 3dr with the 500 kit tho. suposedly around the 400bhp mark.

 

im sure i once read there was 12 D reg rs500`s and i remember tfrallysport broke one a few years ago...... i know as i had the wheels from it lol

 

one of the first rs 500s had the reg D112VEV,i know that as its very similar to my old s2 numberplate D347VEV

 

FYI

14 Rs500's left Tickford pre aug 1987 iE pre E plate , 3 went overseas two later returning to the uk .
4 development cars were white and registered on the 1/3/1987
the remaining uk cars were registered in june-july 1987 , so on D plate ..

interestingly enough , the 2 cars that returned to the uk witch left Tickford pre aug
one was a AMT Training car , the other was a parts validation service car , were both brought back and registered on E plates .

hope this helps .

i think andy pen owns the parts validation rs500 and thats on an e plate!

 

Yup, Liam and I got that one as you know - was imported back in 89 and got an E Plate, even though she left Tickford well before the August dated plate change - as that is when they went from D to E chaps.

Mr doghouse sir, nice to see you pal

 

I always thought there were a few Dreg RS500s.

 

isn't there a j/K reg one around?
I saw it at a show once and it had a bit write up in the window saying it was the last ever registered RS500?
Eitherway it was definatly a 3 door and it had a j/k reg plate on.

 

Lee i was refering to Andys car in my first post ..


Andy ,how do mate .

 

Was that a moonstone one? if so, i dont think it was.....

 

it was moonstone, yea. was far from standard too IIRC.

 

yeah thats the one. K500 COS? Someone around my way owned it for a bit. Not a proper 500 as far as im aware.

non existant now and car was broken last i heard.

 

that rings a bell! Bit naughty, it had a big article in the window claiming all sorts!
Still, a K reg 3 door is rare aint it? or was it a reshell?

 

dont really know the full story behind it TBH mate.

 

ahh right, i am intruiged now, might do a bit of digging, see what i an uncover!

 

i think it had a full feature thinking about it..

 

That K plate "500" is notorious, notoriously NOT an RS500

 

 

 

Its what you want really - had a lodda work in it and if you wanted the nearest thing to a new 500 it might have suited you?

Each to his or her own I reckon
