Did the Escort RST ever come with headlampwashers as a factory option?
I'm going to look at one tomorrow who has these fitted. The owner says it's not aftermarket but genuine from Ford , very rare. Is this true?
here some pics of the car:

swerv

never seen them before and they do not look genuine.

is the car in belgium as they may have different options than we have?

from what i can see the car looks quite nice and has a nice finish on the paint

Jo

The car is in Holland but I don't think they have other options over here compared to the UK.
And yes from the pictures it looks a real minter, hope it looks the same when I'm there.

dave green

I say the same as swerv

Jo

what is the rarest color on a ERST? grey?

Stoo

Never heard of or seen those on an RST before

Don't let the pics woo you too much. I viewed a FRST that was described as mint. The piccies looked awesome. When I drove silly miles to view it I was gutted to be greeted by what can only be described as a polished turd

I have seen these fitted to a standard S2 RST before that I was considering buying and they were exactly as in the pictures above. They were apparently not an option when new but Ford retro fitted them a few months later at his request

Car looks nice

looks clean, but its got a tow bar

Jo

Thanks
yes you're right, the washer jets are definately genuine Ford stuff, (as I was told)and retrofitted on request, especially in Germany. In Germany they also have headlamp leveling control

Jo

don't worry, tow bar will go as soon as the car is here

John Laverick

I was right....its scary sometimes

From what date did they come with the light grey interior, different bumper, spoiler? I thought this was on the '90 spec cars.
Mine is from August 1989 and has these, together with the new bumper and spoiler?.

Could be something that the owner installed himself Jo.

Don't you think?

swerv

interior trim changed in '89 then the bumper and spoiler in '90

S2-MAN

That's correct my car was build in January '89 and on the outside it is pre '90 spec. But inside there is already the light grey Zolda Interior. I have seen it on other cars here in germany aswell.

Jo

@Speedy G.: no the owner did not install those things himself...

@swerv & S2-MAN: thanks for the info
Perhaps mine is already '90 spec as it was built in august '89...

You don't go and tell me that you have ANOTHER special special RS.
