Limited Edition Fords - What is there and how many produced?

Dates of manufacture and date of registration don't have to be in sequence. Two cars can go to the same retailer and while they would love to always sell the oldest car first, sometimes the later car has the options that the buyer wants and the oldest car hangs around for a while.
Or the two cars could be consigned to different retailers and one sells his car faster than the other.
And there were white ST200s rather than just the blue that we were told about - police spec cars. No idea if they got numbered or not.

As for the LTD's, options, were not an option so to speek, they were all top spec, and all 300 sold quickly, hence, not a lot of sitting around waiting to be sold, as is usual with limited edition cars, there is demand for them over the standard cars. this has been looked into by not just me, but a lot of other people, who own LTD's, and a lot of mondeo clubs, and non of them were numbered as they came off the production line, regardless of when they were sold/registered, so non of them are numbered by build, so if the car has a build number badge, it doesnt mean it came of the production line in that order.
the way ford did it, all the badges should have said 1 of 300, rather than a specific number of 300

Blimey, maybe I've bitten off more than I can chew here
I think in the first instance to narrow it down, I'll only be doing models which have a definitive model run, so at least we know how many we are dealing with.
I may even trim it down to just models which have been given a limited edition number. I'll be here all year otherwise

Wonder how many escort RS1800s are left? Pretty sure Liverpool police had a special order of 12 mk2 escort mexicos as 4 doors, and there's the escort goldcrest (coolest coluorscheme ever IMO), and fiesta mk1 supersports were pretty rare, don't really know about numbers.

iirc 22 examples of mk2 escort rs2000 estates where made from the factory...special order!
mk5 cortina "carousel" was another limited edition..out at the same time as a cortina crusader (my sister drove one - it was a 1.6 auto, so i asked to confirm it all incase it was a crusader)
and for people who think that "john player special" capris existed! THEY DIDNT EXIST!!!!!!!!!! At the time of release there was a limited edition capri that sported the same colours as a john player special f1 car...so it was dubbed "jps capri".........when in fact the edition was known as the "FORD CAPRI MIDNIGHT"
8 examples of Escort RS1700T's where sold off...the other 10 where scrapped
what about the Sierra Minker?
fiesta st500

I had a rare mk11 granada 2.8i sport. Recaro's, bilsteins, rear arb and pearl white wheels as standard. Believe about 400 saloons and 200 estates. I miss that car!

Mk5 LS with the recaros is even rarer but an option pack not a limited model really ?
Mk2/3/4 cab = crayford, Mk5 cab = carbidies
cortina Mk5 Huntsman or carousell were limited editions though
The savage MK2/3/4/5 cortinas like the superspeeds were non factory so not sure they count?
RS2000 estate only one made from a mexico estate that was for press use, does that count as a limited edition ?

The Cortina Crusader is widely regarded as a limited edition simply because it doesn't stick with the traditional L, GL, Ghia etc monikers, but in fact there were around 30,000 produced which isn't exactly 'limited' is it?
What about the Mk2 Escort Capital (London area-only limited edition, with Capital Radio logos on it) and Huntsman estate?
