Default RS500 build number 1
had a phone call today from 1 of our drivers he said im stood next to number 1

turns out he was delivering at a factory and it was there he spoke to some one about it it had been in a museum and this museum has just been closed down so is now back with the original owner im not 100 % sure if it was number 1 as im sure that number 1 was in fastford and owned by some one who lived abroad

Thought 9 miles was impossible as tickford tested them and put more miles than that on

why has it got a normal 3 door bumper?

plus i thought build number 1 was un-accounted for? all of the inlets have the build number stamped on them, and number 1 inlet was found on another car? (or was that number 500......?)

Would it be a logical conclusion that D113 VEV is No. 002?

That chassis tag is from a motorsport shell.

Nikos Aggloupas bought that car in 1990 and was built with different bits from Andy Rouse and the Trakstar team of Rob Gravett.

Yes that's the car.
I visited his shop at his hometown.
Very nice gentleman.
Can you please define what s a motorsport shell?

Why does his tag have extra numbers?
I flew 6000 miles to see these cars.

Ever started reading an old thread, just about to comment, then realise you had done years ago, and have no recollection of such!

Those are the original build run tags, and as you can see Ford were planning ahead a year before launch hence the 85 at the start, where as production tags were v86. The post production 1989 shells were always labelled with the motorsport 909 moniker though. Very few of those were ever used in anger as they simply arrived too late.
