Default RS 500 on a B plate?

As above saw one around here yesterday and me and a mate was debaiting if it was genuine with it being on a B plate,

So is it or isn't it??? Did they make them on a B???, It was definately a cossie but dont know about a RS 500, cheers, Grant.

if its on a personal plate then it might be.

But 3dr cosworth started in 1986 (D Plate)

And RS500 were all (E Plates) the 4 prototypes and i think even the 12 demo ones were.

But no RS500 or 3dr will be a B reg, if its an origanilly issued plate

all the rest were E platers.

The prototypes were on D plates.

I even had a photo of a C plate three door in an old Fast Ford, again a prototype/promo vehicle.


The B plater was most likely a private plate.

Was it B 500 something by any chance ?
