Anyone know this rs2000
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Ford-Esco...#ht_572wt_1263

I am in Qld and cant get down to check it out. Was just going to take a punt on it but if anyone knows of/about the car? That would be great.

I dont know about the car, but you can ask the RS owners club incase they may know.

It looks like a nice car

Don't know the car, clear to see someone has spent some $$ on her, but from the pics she will need a bit of work to tidy up -

nose cone been hit, support bar ts twisted and out of alignment,
refit scheel seats,
refit steering wheel,
respray door window frames and upper B pillar satin black,
respray sill panel blackout satin black,
fit side stripes if wanted (could be factory delete option on this car),
has incorrect door mirror spacers,
has incorrect front and rear windscreen seals,
realign rear bumper,
realign front doors,
missing chrome clip-on gutter trim,
door trims needs attention,
incorrect placement of RS2000 decals on rear quarter pannels,
RS2000 did not have the plastic trim on centre/passenger side of dash.

Need to check Model # on compliance plate to confirm factory RS - should be 11938 for the four door.

A few items to look into in the engine bay too;

heater hoses incorrectly routed,
missing emissions equipment (can be difficult to register without he ADR27A compliant gear),
potential to burn out wiring harness if you leave it with all 16a fuses (assuming still using original fuse box)

I would be surprised if it is an original RS2000???? as Jim puts it....too many RS items missing, this is a mock up...

The passenger plastic dash trim is a dead give away - the RS does not have the holes to fit that from the factory as the RS item only surrounds the heater controls

RS's had a rear sway bar too

I would also be worried what is under the dyna mat in the boot

Hard to tell from the angles, but looks like it may have Cortina offset (24p)Volante rims too?

there could be any reason for the dash trim being on there.Ive seen stuff like that silasticked on, maybe someone 15 years ago thought it was a "dress up" bit of kit....who knows??? Over the years people have fit all manner of things on these cars and most have been resprayed or rebuilt by now so missing trim and incorrect seals dosent really tell us anything other than its non factory/concours original.. Bit hard to be certain By the few shots whether its a mock up or not....but its definately got a few things awry with it. Best getting someone in the know to have a look at it, may be a dud.....may also be a find

Thanks for all the input guys, i will get the model # off of the owner. I think however i will look for one more local (QLD), dont realy want to take a punt on it if i cant see it first.
