I used to have a Mk3 Escort Cabriolet in that colour


I like it, minus the rear spolier

Ford do actually do a standard paint in that colour (not sure if Maxpoo actually used Ford paint tho). It was used on the Limited Edition Mk5 Escort Cabriolet Solar models

I bet if someone photo shoped it white Put some anthracite MO's (or other motorsport wheel) on, and as someone else said a Standard rear bumper, you'd all be jizzin over it...

I think it's Ace personally, if you look beyond what you see, But it's been on ebay loads as batfink says, just wondered if it keeps gettin bought or it's the same guy sellin (or NOT) it?

Mr Finch is the highest bidder. That would make a nice F2 Rally Car

They claim it's basically a Grp B rally car.... yet there's no details of the wildly different suspension to a normal RS2000 listed in the spec.....

There's a couple of real F2 RS2000s on rallycarsforsale.net, between £22k and £50k!

I'd buy it for the engine alone! Then deposit the rest of the car in a skip.

I think he means F2
The advert states it's a Group B car.... although I do know he meant F2.

However I was saying it's actually a standard RS2000 underneath. No way does it have all the trick suspension the F2 cars have...

...And fortunately the seller has cleared up the matter:

"*Please note correction: Car not categorised as a Group B rally car- I was wrongly advised when I bought it. Hope this does not cause confusion!* "
