| 1980 | RS2000 | Scott Hepburn says... | If it was good enough for Martin Shaw in the professionals!! Ford took a mundane Escort and turned it into a complete addiction simply by changing it to a droopsnoot, 2 litre engine , alloys and letting it loose on the streets..just fantastic...and all these years later it is still as popular!!! |
