If you like the Series 1 RST, you'll love this.

I've just come across site that is dedicated to the mk3 Escort and there's a section dedicated to "special" cars.

Back in the eighties some TV programs manages to get some nice cars to use and abuse. One TV show in particular was right on the money with their choice of cars. "Cats Eyes" managed to obtain 2 Series 1 RS Turbos and one was even more special as it was Azure blue. They had consecutive number plates too.

The first clip is of one as you would know it....white.

The second clip is of the very special Azure blue.

There was one more even more famous series 1 that was not white. This car belonged to Lady Diana. This one is supossed to be the only S1 to come out the Ford factory in a colour other than white.





Anyone got any more example, not nessasery Ford, and Fast and furious cars dont count. lol

RE: If you like the Series 1 RST, you'll love this.

Its the same car on a different plate. There is loads of none white turbos about, but Lady Diana's is the only one the came out of the Factory in a different colour.

There is only one other S1 that came out of the Ford SHOWROOM in a different colour, but it was a full repaint of a white one. The first owner saw a grey XR3i in the showroom at the side of the S1 and asked for the S1 in that colour, so Ford simply painted one. But because it was painted before it was registered it actually does show grey from new. Not quite as special as the lady diana one but special all the same.


There is also the datapost ones but they where also white one painted red........ wernt they Dave, lol.


All other non white S1s will have been painted after it was bought, including the cats eyes azure blue one.
