Am I right in thinking that this may be a teensy bit misleading? RS1600i??  |

He just responded to my question:
Dear fat_wheels,
You asked:
"Hi, is this a genuine RS1600i? Thanks Tim"
no, it is a escort L, the only non rs parts are the steering wheel, door cards, and shell. thanks for looking. ps I was told they made a 4 door in austrlia don't know how true this is

 I like long walks, especially when they're taken by people I don't like. |

Apart from the heading, the guy doesn't actually say that it is a 1600i, but he describes the fact that it has a number of genuine RS 1600i parts including front bumper and rear spoiler - the engine certainly has the correct rocker cover.
I actually quite like it - and being a five door is kinda different.

And they DID come in 5 door guise ............in Australia.
Incidentialy the Aussies also had a four door Mk2 RS2000

The Aussies don't have the same hang-ups regarding four-door variants as we do.
Regarding the RS1600i, the seller doesn't appear to be claiming that it is a genuine RS.
His first line is:
as it happens, the car doesn't look too bad. Mk3s are definitely moving firmly into the retro-zone.

I wasn't having a pop about the car being a replica.... I just stumbled across it while looking for something else... I reckon it's quite interesting as it is, to all intents and purposes a 1600i; after all it has all the right bits... And history tells that ford themselves knocked up quite a few sporty "prototypes" that have subsequntly found their way into private hands.... witness the two genuine escort mexico estates that exist... Now if Ford had actually done this model here, would it have been a success..  |

hmm the discription is not brilliant, if u read it carefully he seems to think he has an onion not an escort, last escorts i know of with 4 doors were mk2! poor fool  look like ghia door cards too. i do like it tho, and it is rare for me to say that about a fwd ford! also there used to be a very nice rs1600 here in bishop but the silly yoof who owned it threw a turbo lump in, thus destroying a nice original car  rant over !! |

Back in the early 80s CCC magazine built a turbo-CVH yellow 5 door Mk3 escort, before the factory RS I seem to remember (?). Looked quite similar to that one but with a matching yellow bodykit.
Tangent: Didn't they make XR3i's in yellow? But not very many?
