I'll be posting up some timeline shots here eventually.
This Escort RS Mexico was originally sold in Wales and was built as a tarmac race car. It later was built to a rally car specification and was a learner car at one of the rally instructional schools in the UK. It then sat for a few years and was saved and built as a proper stage rally car. It was later converted to RS2000 spec and eventually built again to Historic Spec before I bought it.
To start out,
Here's the oldest known photo of the car that I have. Circa 1999 from the MSA logbook.

This picture, just like the previous pic, is taken from the MSA logbook.
It was sprayed yellow for a time (it still has a lot of yellow paint to this day in certain areas)

When the previous (to me) owner bought it, he had the car redone and modified in 2003 with RS1800 arches.

And had the car sprayed in a Belga themed livery.

It looked very sharp!
