Not VW's but RS's
« on: April 09, 2010, 12:48:49 pm »
As promised in the other thread I'd put up some pic's of my old Ford RS's, well here they are...enjoy.

First one I owned and they are in order I owned them from 1988 to 2004.










With a very young Mrs Choppers at the wheel...


With Mrs Choppers first car in the background.



























The last 2 were taken buy a photographer for REVS magazine back in 2000, car was in article in October of that year.

Black...nice, no my MK2 was the one of the first ones hence large black side stripe, RS2000 rear quarter decals 2.0 badges on the front wings. so it had Roll Top recarao's, Fishnet Recaro's didn't come in till 1978/9 when Ford released two version of the RS2000, RS1800 and Mexico. One was a Base model, steel wheels, 1600 sports seats, no clock pod, no centre console and no radio. Some of those choices could be added as options along with rear fog light and rear seat belts.

Custom versions had Centre console, 4 spoke RS alloys, Clock pod in the passenger dash, wing (doors mirrors) Fishnet reaco's and a radio of some sort (various options here) Also could spec the X pack kit with 7in (wide) RS alloys. Rear belts and rear fog lamp, Vinyl roof plus one I think 16 colour options including signal paint.  :happy2:

Wow, nice collection - the Red RS looks a little out of place though if I'm honest.

If only you still had then in that condition eh ... well saying that you'd probably have some scroat trying to nick em!

Nice one moschops! I have always loved the old RS's since my brother had a mk1 rs200 in modena green. :love:

Always promised myself a mk1 RS and a mk2 RS when not  if I win the lottery! :popcornsoda:

1 question though, after all of those lovely RS's why did you change to VW?  :party:
