Try the "classicfordforum" search on google.

It's a great source of info and the members are very helpful. There is also a forsale section where most of the cars for sale are member's cars and therefore you know what you are getting.

Good luck.

They are an excellent little car.

Welcome aboard Nathan.
I can't help you with Escort info, there is a sub-forum titled "small & medium cars" have a look in there.
There are a few members on here who own Escorts and i'm sure they will reply with some useful tips.

nathan,

finding an rs 2000 is difficult. the following document will help you to identify a genuine one: http://www.rsmotorsport.com.au/techn...sie_RS2000.pdf

Spotting a genuine RS2000 in australia is as easy as remembering 2 numbers. 11918 and 11938. These are the model codes for the 2dr and 4dr RS2000s. Other gimmes are the black door handles, and a solid metal dash in front of the passenger. Any modification, holes, trim etc along this section, indicates it could be a fake.
