Graphite Grey, very nice. It looks immaculate.
Has it had a retrim? Seats look dark and leather-like.

I need your help to get back to the year 1985.

Sorry guys,I realise that the rs1600 would be the mark 1 Escort with the belt driven 'A' series (bda)and that the rs1600i is the front wheel drive version developed for Motorsport just after they fuel injected the xr3,Driven if I remember correctly by the late Mark Lovell on various rallies.
I do love the seats in the rs1600i,getting very rare now I should imagine?
