Try the "classicfordforum" search on google.
It's a great source of info and the members are very helpful. There is also a forsale section where most of the cars for sale are member's cars and therefore you know what you are getting. Good luck. They are an excellent little car. |

Welcome aboard Nathan.
I can't help you with Escort info, there is a sub-forum titled "small & medium cars" have a look in there. There are a few members on here who own Escorts and i'm sure they will reply with some useful tips. |

finding an rs 2000 is difficult. the following document will help you to identify a genuine one: http://www.rsmotorsport.com.au/techn...sie_RS2000.pdf |

Spotting a genuine RS2000 in australia is as easy as remembering 2 numbers. 11918 and 11938. These are the model codes for the 2dr and 4dr RS2000s. Other gimmes are the black door handles, and a solid metal dash in front of the passenger. Any modification, holes, trim etc along this section, indicates it could be a fake.
