just wondering because i own one and heard they are getting pretty rare nowdays

 

The d reg ones were prone to rust more due to a dodgy batch of metal ,mate had one never seen one as bad ,ps did you get my pm

 

C and D plate Mk4's are rare as Ford built them out of shockingly poor steel so most have fallen foul of tin worm

That is sweet for a d Reg

 

Most have rotted badly due to crap metal but there are exceptions the one above pictured being one very mint example

 

Cheers for kind comments, I go on the rsoc forums quite often but thought id come have a nosey round here for a change Name's Matt from just outside chester, owned the S2 for nearly 2 years, had a reasonable S1 a few years before that, I also own a concourse 17k miles grey xr2i. the S2 is virtually factory standard with 2 previous owners and 52k miles on the clock, engine is preety standard apart from ecu chip, ss exhaust, panel filter, and -31 actuator, was put on rollers in 2004 by previous owner making just over 170bhp at about 1 bar boost and also put on rollers last year by myself making 146 bhp @ the wheels also running about 12-14 psi boost etc, theres my intro and hope to speak to a few more of you soon

There all coming out now well.. All three of them ha ha.

 

Some stunning motors there lads proof there are still a few minty early S2's about Don't think ive seen a C plate S2, were there any? I know you can get a mk4 escort C plate but what about a S2

 

mines a dreg, but has a private plate on it since 94

 

ive got a D-reg s2,,also got a folder full of photos from moorland classic cars,,was in a real sorry state at one point,but a previous owner spent just over 4k iirc on the resto,, Glad he did,,,really cant tell the cars had anywork done,,

 

My mate has a D plate one in black.

 

first merc grey s2 i ever looked at was an 86D, looked ok, thankfully i never bought it as id seen it 2 months later and the rear quarter was goosed,

saying that there are some stunning examples around, well the ones which are left

 

There were some dont know how many though and dont know how many have survived if any!! Are there any on the database???

 

Mine is a D reg built 86, i'm the 3rd owner and it has covered 89200 miles.

I had a C reg MK4 XR3i back in 1997 and it was rotten as fuck! lol
Some nice looking D plates in this thread, I too wonder if there are any MK4's on a C reg?

 

Mine's a D plate, it's black and really solid but did spend the last 9 years in a garage with the previous owner. I've got it garaged too but took it out in the rain the other day and felt guilty!

 

i have a dreg s2

 

Got pics of two S2's on (gen) C plates. The mk4 XR3i press car was also on a C plate.

As for numbers left. I contacted DVLA regarding Series 1's and they gave me the following info - which will include the mk3 and mk4 D plates.

This is the total number left that are taxed or SORN as of 22nd Feb 2010 are
September - 17
October - 19
November - 20
December - 10

Removing the D plate S1's that are known the figure will be roughly 50 S2's.
Hope this helps.

 

my old s2 in my sig was a d plate with 43k miles on clock and it was really mint. sadly got wrote off a week after i sold it! mine was built in germany and im told ones built in germany didnt suffer badly with rot

 

my mate has one sat in his garage for last 12 years

 

Yes mine was also built in germany mate so probably explains why its still here lol

 

Some interesting info there buddy would love to see a genuine C plate S2! hopefully one may pop up for the aniversary at national day this year

 

Not anymore it's not lol how you doin fella

 

some very nice examples

 

Heh, it comes out of the garage now for weekends/shows

 

Hi guys, sorry to bring alive this thread but how many D reg S2's left now.....? Lol

I have one from Oct 86 but not sure whether it is original or has been re shelled. I am told all Escort RS Turbos came with tilt and slide sunroofs but mine has a pop up only one.

Any thoughts??

 

It's probably been re-shelled. All series twos have tilt and slide sunroofs.

 

Mines still alive Oct 86 built reg Jan 1987. I stripped it and found it was better than lots of E,F,G & H plates I've seen. Still on factory fit front panel(minus headlight panels) rear panel, Front wings chassis legs, Rear panel. The roof was fine, But the sunroof had a slight hole so chopped it out. The 4 floor pans had a couple of patches each so just chopped them out to tidy it up, battery tray replaced and both outer sills replaced as one had a hole and the other had a couple. I replaced both rear arches and a little bit of each inner arches.

 

Dont worry its unlikely its been reshelled, just a lower spec sunroof fitted as the tilt and slide sunroofs fail alot. plus to replace them they are expensive.

 

Mines a 'D' plater on a private plate out here in Queensland, Australia. Has a tilt and slide sunroof and has been here since 1994, 90 spec stuff added as you can see plus a colour change from rosso to radiant red. I also have a series 1 which is a project which hopefully I will have time to finish.

 

Wow, that looks stunning! Good work.

So you reckon its had an aftermarket sunroof put in afterwards??

 

Mines a D reg..... Although not much of the original metal is left !

 

I've got a black D - Reg one.

Apart from a little work needed to sills last year, its solid as anything and probably one of the best bodys I've seen on an S2!
