are they meant to have a tickford sign on the wing below the sidestrip or is this something people put on afterwards?

 

afterwards

 

THEY DIDNT EVEN HAVE THE NUMBERED WINDOW SWITCHS !!
Think its time i had a escort now !!

 

what the surround bit you mean?i thought that was how they were all identified. how come you want rid?

 

The Tickford badges are something people put on afterwards.

I believe the window switch plaque was when you first registered the car with the RS500 registrar, so some will not have that either!

As above, the window switch plaque did NOT come on the car when you got it from ford.

 

Correct

Window swith plate was provided by the RSOC

Tickford wing badges are put on by the owners

 

oh right cheers people so you shouldnt worry if it aint got a plaque inside then!

 

Do not worry about the plaque inside, or the tickford badges....however I would recommend asking some questions on the RSOC BB, as you need to ensure it is a real RS500.....

Oh, and the Log Book says Sierra Cosworth, NOT RS500!!!

Just think it is time for a change to esort or something its been is a great car just been there done that so done all i wanted and a bit more but now well i sooner get rid all 4 cars and drive an escort as me everyday car

Or even a mark one MEXICO Cossied

 

It's amazing how many people think this was standard and if it's not fitted, it can't be a genuine one.

 

Tickford wing badges look IMO

Its like when you see Escos owners but the Karmann badges on

 

I must admit i was looking at an RS500 for sale a little while ago and the window switch plaque was something i was looking for along with the rear spoiler and front splitter being different to the 3 door, what else is different? what should i look for on a genuine car?
