im sure ive read that ford released some of these calling them the rs1900

they used the tall block from the us spec escort cvh so used the 1900 block and had the kit fitted

could be wrong though but have seen a couple with rs1900 and imsure jamsport restored one for some block but fitted a turbo motor into it

they did about 20 of them but the way he says is they took a xr31 and fitted an engine and turbo so its hardly the real thing

I think people are forgetting that this would be so cool back in its day. I remember seeing a couple in some mags a good 10 years ago thinking they looked awesome.

Retro cool i say. Although not actually a 'nice' looking car today.
