I "think" RS Automotive was run by a guy called Melvyn. I "think" he did a Blue Mk4 Escort Convertible to 4x4 Cossie conversion. Was in Max Power last century. IIRC his Mrs? had a light pink RST version.

(All this may be another company.) So it aint Gospel

The only RS Automotive I know of is in Shoebury, run by Paul Horner, they built RS200 replicas, however I don't know what he's up to these days.

As above Paul Horner / RS Automotive are still around but not really Ford specialists now as he does everything. He still supplies the odd RS200 bits (the replica ones) but not much now since Gary Campbell went up norf (his partner).

I live down the road from Wickford but never heard of Tye Farm.

RS Automotive used to be in Wickford years ago however they closed down They were a wicked bunch in there epecially one guy I can't remember his name now. If you ring Engine Advantages though the guy who used to do all the RS tuning for RS Automotive knows Paul @ Engine Advantages so always worth giving him a call.

Depends what your looking for really? ie: what you want or want done?
