I have owned many Series 2 RS Turbos over the years and without being with one for the last 2 years, I came across this car and it took my fancy. It was completely standard with its own original spec exhaust, wheels and no engine modifications. It even had the original 2005 Ford stereo and speakers.

There was a Ford leather history folder full of bills and receipts for work that had been carried out over the years. Also a rolling road report that 15 years on it's still pushing out 132 BHP ( The same when it left Fords production line in 1990).

I bought the car and set out the long task of making the car fresh again with lots of cleaning and time hunting down many original Ford parts that needed replacing to give it that new look. Many of the parts had been discontinued, but I tracked them down !


I have been working on the car for the last 7 months and its now up to the condition I wanted it to be. I am glad that I spent the time and money on the original parts so the car will live on for many years as Ford intended their S2 RS Turbo model to be.
