Default Series 2 90 spec h reg rs turbos

Hi, where and how would I find out how many h plate rs turbo cars were sold, in what colours and is there a last build number relating to chassis/ vin number I can trace out?
Been looking but can't find info.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Sod H platers. What about C platers and more importantly those painted in 1 of the 4 the original colours, Nimbus grey.

haha haha haha what a load of shit. sorry pal, I'm from the isle of man, i lived there for 19 years from age 5+ onwards, now in uk, basically the island was littered with fords of all degrees, rs turbos, xr3i's, xr3's, uno turbo, astra gte's, xr2's, xr2's, i remember as a kid always fancying one, there was a few i remember sat in a field just abandoned, a black xr3i with a whale tail, a white series 1 all with english plates, i remember when i passed my test looking at 1 when i was 16 (can learn to drive and pass at 16 over there) engine was mucky, oily etc, basically every had one and then didn't, my point of the story is when these cars got stolen, nicked, plates, changed what ever the car theif does they ended up on the island. It was well known by the government that these cars were stolen but did nothing because there is NO MOT in the isle of man and still is not. you can run a car till it falls apart, NO car MOT, NO V5 nonsense, only £60 to tax any vehicle, only manx insurance to insure a car is allowed, NO SPEED LIMIT, it was good...kinda, i remember i bought my first car for £100. honda accord 1.6 1984 plate. don't need a V5 or anything, you can pay cash, insure the car through manx insurance its called and drive it then if it was taxed and had fuel.

ill be going back in june for TT week, ill take my RS over, it will be the ONLY one on the island

The K plate car was a mercury grey 88 spec oddly, it ran about Fife for a while. Saw it on eBay about a year ago but nothing since...
