Always loved an escort RST either series one or two, nearly got my hands a series one custom back in the early 90's but missed out on it, have never owned one sadly

Awesome little car looks very well finished, probably the best looking rs turbo under the bonnet not a bit of chrome in sight.

This RS turbo was at a classic car show at Breamore House near Fordingbridge. It is the most immaculate one I have ever seen, it looked like it was brand new.

Its a bit chavvy for my eyes, but that is a taste thing. I guess he just doesn't know when to stop.

The attention to detail and workmanship are first class though. That smoothed engine bay caused a near structural failure of my Y fronts.
