Afternoon All,

I have been looking at getting an RS Turbo for about 10 years maybe more and finally i have got one......

It has loads of history, some from 1990 so quite cool going through it all, i know one of the owners used to be part of the RS Owners club so i was hoping others on here may know more about this car than i do, here is a brief summary on what she has... pics to follow.....S2 Escort RS Turbo 1990

Nice, would be nice to see it at a RSOC Cheshire meet next year maybe?

 

Yeah definitely, I need to refurb the wheels and get the paint bits sorted and I am there

I know someone in Scotland did some work over the last few years but cannot find anything in the history …. I am hoping this post will point me in the right direction..

 

Do these still run?

 

I have been searching for the previous owners, last one i need is in Scotland as they did some work to the car, just found this photo...

Scotland - tick
Aug 2023 - tick

It was sold in Aug 2023 but its who had it...... How frustrating i can see a for sale sign in the winow but cannot get the number, aghhhh

 

yes, 2nd Wednesday of the month, about 7:30, juniper farm pub (used to be called Mascrat)

 

Hopefully see you there when this is on the road - Currently £3k down getting it fixed, now it needs a fuel tank, rot fix and paint so another £3k should make it road worthy and as it should have been when i purchased!!! Mnnnn Fun cars eh!
