Dealer special, not a factory model. Some had 1.9 engines, but not all.

The Rattle snake was just a body kit that some dealers fitted (usually to XR3i's) to make a dealer special edition - it wasn't a genuine Ford model, but had RS 1900 stickers (RS for RattleSnake, not Rallye Sport).

The Rouse Sport Cosworth (302-R & 304-R) was available through certain Ford dealers, and then the Monte EsCos (interior trim & wheels) was a Factory special edition to celebrate winning the Monte Carlo rally.

Also a plethora of special edition cabriolets on the MK4 Escort.
