Default 7 grand tacho

Hi all .We picked up a escort the other day ,(looking for XC coupe ) it has 7 grand tacho, manual, 2 piece front bar, and two fuel tank filler points . One on left hand side , the other behind number plate. Any ideas on what it is,(RS2000) ?. The car is not what we are looking for and would sell. Any ideas would be nice Thanks..

RS2000's have quad headlights mounted in a plastic nosecone and is a little longer than a normal mk2 escort.
Side filler is for 1.6 (and lower) litre escorts with fuel tank inside boot.
Rear filler is for 2 litre escorts with larger tank under the floor.
The 1.6 filler is on all escorts (i think) and just has a blnking plate over it if the car is 2 litre. Saves ford making 2 different kinda shells i guess!
Hope this helps

This car has square headlights, looks like a little XD Falcon. Did the mark 2 have the tacho , split front bar ,and rear fill tank or are these parts just added to this car.

if its got bumperettes and a tacho dash, it could be a rally pack..
only the Ghia's, rally packs and rs2000 had the tacho's. [i think!]
