That fiesta is v rare! ( the footage is off the Story of the Mk2 escort video by duke...)
A pre Group 2 car used on the Monte Carlo by Ari vatenen, to not a deal of success, was meant to replace the mk2 escort once they stopped using it...and then they tried the rs1700t....oops failure..then the rs200 came about...thank god!
I have genuine parts off the works mk1 Fiestas too....!! YUM

Year thats a great vid, well shot, gave me funny retro feelings!!!   |
| |
 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

yeah I'm not one for posting vids etc but when I saw it I thought of you guys!  |

Cool video  Hope it's like that in Scotland over the next few weeks as I will be there on holiday Were those escorts RS2000's? If so the Viva should sound a bit like them too being pinto powered and all. |

I thought they would be BDA's in them?? (note: Not very Ford knowledgable!! ) |

They will be BDA's for defo...so not many vivas would keep up, although modern technology n that....!

I have always loved that vid. They will probably be 2.0 BDG`s I would have thought with around 270bhp ish. Always loved the sound of the BD series engines. Gotta love that press shoot though, no proban suits , no helmets just curse word ing about in the snow |

That would have been a very competitive car for about a year but Ford cancelled the investment to move onto the RS200 once they realised 2 wheel drive wouldnt be competitive. Unfortunately that was too late as well.  I think Malcolm Wilson has the only road registered RS1700T as well. |

It was kinda a stop gap...but then the FiEscort was born, hewland transmission etc...made the RS1700T look wibblepoo!
There is a couple of road registered cars in South Afrika too...
I know the story of how Malcomn Wilson got hold on ONE of his RS1700T's.....Would you swap it for a focus WRC car?
