Originally designed as a way of building limited numbers of homologation specials for serious competition use, it soon grew into a major marketing opportunity, and one that Ford grabbed with both hands. By 1976, when the RS2000 Mk2 was launched, the term ‘RS’ had grown to mean something a bit special. In late 1978, the Custom Pack became an option and included the following; ‘Fishnet’ Recaro seats, full door-cards, clock and pod centre console, 6J x 13” alloys, boot carpet, remote driver’s door mirror and the back panel around the rear lights was painted black. Most recently it’s had a new head gasket, water pump, thermostat and a full service. A new clutch was fitted in August and the rear axle overhauled. This striking RS2000 is ready to be enjoyed by its new owner. The desirable RS2000 Custom, fully restored by a renowned RS specialist and superbly presented in Signal Amber.
