Rob’s enthusiasm is a real tonic. He seems to talk personally to the viewer. Love it when he is so surprised as a little boy. Keep young Rob. Hi
100% an RS2000 mate, had one exactly the same with log book showing Ford Escort. DVLA changed it for me after a few phone calls. I would tidy it up, get it running and driving and sell it on. Getting quite sought after now with it not being abused and poorly modded. Good buy. Great video keep it up.
Looks in really good condition and that’s brilliant that you have been able to buy it and looking forward to see what you both do with it
I love it when you lads save a forgotten icon - you might not do the resto but you are going to put the car in a position for somebody else to do it ! Great video ! I recall helping lads get out of one after they rolled it outside Castlederg many moons ago !! The car was trashed - you could have walked round that car 100 times I wouldn't have noticed or cared !! Great find !!
I love these barn finds. Just when you think the last remaining of a particular car has been scrapped, one more example suddenly pops up and there is one to love and cherish after all.
My Dad bought a car from Dees of Croydon ( before you were born) lol - that was when airplanes landed at the airport! Brilliant, brilliant video Rob - they just get better. I reckon thats worth doing up proper spec - they are so desirable as future classics.
It’s already a classic.
Woah yes!!!! Keep these good old Fords coming lads, I'm off to get a coffee to watch with 😁☕
A boyhood dream, I grew up with these cars and thank goodness you’re out there saving them. Hope you do a full restoration on it! I’m looking forward to seeing future videos and how your progress with it. As always, great content and keep up the great work guys.
Rob, we had a similar issue with a C1 VTR that was listed as a VTR+ on the V5. Took a while but the DVLA did change the log book for me. Love these old Fords, rarer than hen's teeth now.
This will be your next video to hit the big 1 million views!
Definitely!.
The excitement in your voice say's it all Rob , what a cracking find , 1 owner is rare and you easily sorted out the vin mix-up.
I hope Chris is as excited as you.
That brings back some memories, would be nice to see it cleaned up and resold.
Interior fabric - panache "pan-ash"
I fondly remember my brother's one in the late 90's-early 2000's. Great fun even for the passengers!
You’ve got to save stuff when you can & for thar reason I’ve just spent today digging out a 39 year old e21 for a family as I can mind of it gleaming in the mid 80s & couldn’t watch it get any worse. Tonight for first time in 20 years it’s under a car port. 👍
It's a classic it deserves a full refurb. You gotta do it it's criminal not too 😂 love the vids guys especially the fords. Can't wait to see you get started on it. 👍
Looking forward to seeing this when finished and of course the journey to get there, what a cracking car. Thanks Rob, hope Chris enjoyed his holiday 👍
These were never that common even back in the day. Brilliant find and a one owner car as well. Can't wait to see this one progress.
Yesterday I took my 17 year old daughter with me to collect the sierra
Its 1986 and I had one big smile on my face the whole way home
Escort mk5 RS 2000 launched Nov 1991 - With this one with build date of 29.11.1991. It would've been one of the very 1st RS 2000 built. And most likely sitting in a dealership showroom. Before finally being sold & registered on 01.02.1993.
Bearing in mind Escort mk5a (facelift) RS 2000 had already been launched a few months earlier in later 1992 !
The best channel just keeps getting better! It's 30 years old in a few weeks, very rare and forgotten hot hatch, even when new they were rare. Even though they are 15" those alloys look great. It's going to be really interesting following the progress on this one!
Whoever buys this will want to put their own stamp on it, so just clean it, paint what needs painting, sort out the drivers seat and fix the headliner. Give it a service and MOT, take the profit and move on to the next one. Hope Chris brings you some proper Cornish pasties back.
Back in 92 I was 19 stationed in Germany in the army. My late father took me to collect a brand new 1.4 LX Polaris grey Escort when I was on leave. There was an RS2000 there and I remember drooling over it. Brought back great memories, thank you.
As part of my hobby I have re-registered a few vintage tractors. My club has records of the serial (chassis) numbers and they can tell what part of the day and date the tractor was made (day or night shift). The interesting bit comes if the tractor still has it`s registration number and the Local Authority still has the registration details so not only can you keep the original registration number but also research the supplying dealer and first owner! My first tractor has been back to it`s first home for a photo shoot and I have met the first owner`s daughter. My club`s part in the registration process is to verify the tractor is exactly what you are claiming it to be so DVLA can register it, similar to what Ford are doing for you!
Loving another fast Ford series, cant wait to hear Chris and his reaction to it.
A very appealing car like you say not many RS2000 about with 1 owner from new
I would just like to point out that I passed my driving test first time 😁 in a green Escort Mark 1 in May 1973. The fact that the examiner's son was in the same class as me at school had nothing to do with it.
I passed my test first time in a Ford Escort Mk 2 in 1981.
Hi Rob and Chris, what a find, would be interesting to know how long it's been sitting. There just cannot be many or if any left sitting now surely. Enjoyed the video.. interesting.! Alex.
Hello Rob and Chris. Another great find.
Hope Chris enjoyed his holiday, as you said truly deserved.
It’s a lovely sought after car Rob.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Just when you think it can't get any better, you guys go one better! Completely fascinating!
More drama than East Enders! Really interesting you are so made up, can’t wait to hear what Chris says!
Just been cross-referencing on Ford Etis and yours was built in a block of RS2000’s at the end of November\start of December 1991. There were also a couple of them that were registered in 1993 too so they must have been sat at Ford’s compound for over a year.
mate i worked for them lol and we kept our cars in sheppy and i kid you now theres a mark 1 fiesta there with a tree grown through it that was in 2003
Really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to seeing what you decide to do with it. Also enjoy you explaining the back stories on the cars you fix up. Keep up the good work and appreciate the time and effort it takes to pump these videos out so we can enjoy them.
Very informative Rob & great video content as usual. Can’t wait until it all comes together as usual. Take care 👍👍
Of course it's interesting Rob, you don't really think we'd skip the last couple of minutes do you?
Rare car that Rob, I can’t recall seeing many back in 1993. It was a bit of Ford trying to re-create the magic of the Mk1 and Mk2 RS2000 and not quite hitting the sweet sport. Nice to see it survive though.
C tu
It was just a newer version of the rs turbo upper tier to the xr3i
My dad had a J plate one 1992
I had one of these back in the day in my early twenties. had to sell it after a couple of years because insurance premiums went beyond ridiculous. some good memories though, great find rob
Absolute stunning find,for a 1 owner a full resto is a must to justify ur enthusiasm,great.content so happy to see & Chris’s will hit the floor👍✔️
Next week the channel gets renamed to "Max Power" Rebuilds. Quite the collection of hot hatches you're building up Rob. I'm not sure about the later RS models. It seemed they were more of a trim level than a real sports version. It'll be interesting to see this all cleaned up and running though.
Yep drove one in the 90's. Agree RS in name only. Still a nice find.
For some reason i have this image of Chris sitting on the beach with his jeans and steel toe cap boots on, wishing his holiday was over and he could get back to his workshop.
Lol absolutely not he didn’t want to come home 👍
Cornwall is so beautiful it's the english Riviera.
@@tutsywutsy I think that’s Torquay/Torbay, but Cornwall is very special!
@@tutsywutsy That's Devon. Torquay area bud.
What a perfect example of this car, can’t wait for you guys to get it looking and driving awesome!
Congratulations Rob -- Christmas came early -- nice to see you guys doing well and doing well putting your own money on the line but you can see how carefully you have to tread !!
Was never a fan of the later “so called” RS2000’s. I know people love them and that’s why it’s good we’re all different. In my opinion the Mk1 & Mk2 are the only REAL RS 2000’s. I think that ford only marketed the MK5 etc to shift excess body shells. More great content though 👍
Gwyndaf Evans would disagree.
Mk1 and mk2s were probably your era, I remember racing the mk5s in my clio Williams back in the day
Totally agree. Only the Cossie Escort is worth a mention with those. Although this particular car is a good buy for the guys as a 1 owner car it will be valuable to those who do like this type of thing. I have to say the Recaros are pretty cool, but that's it.
Totally agree
Mk3 weren't too shabby neither, theyre fetching good money now! Wish I still had my 1600 ghia.....good looking car
So there’s a Sierra Cosworth, an RS turbo, an Rs2000 and an ST Fiesta. I’m noticing a very lovely pattern emerging 😂😂. Can’t wait to hear that Escort running. Great buy lads. Well done once again. 👍👍
I remember the DEES of Croydon forecourt with these sitting on it as it was just around the corner from where I was working at the time, just lovey find mate 😀 👍
Looks pretty good, they were not around that much to my memory, I had a experimental version of that mk but it was a tdx intercooler I think it had turbo as well, but hey it was diesel, it was so quick, just kept going, my business partner at the time got a escort cosworth as part of the same deal, the diesel would hang back in gears one and two but level off until four and got beat as I changed to five, Ford spent huge money on development of that mk in all fuels and types, great memories, good luck guys
Not my fav of the fords but decent buy, don't see many of them about :). I'm sure this will make a collector very happy. I'd just wash it and sell it on chances are the new owner will want to restore it anyways to own standard. :)
Have to agree I think the mk5 escort is my least favourite. Well actually 3rd least favourite with the Orion at number one and mk6 escort at number 2 😆
If you check the dates on the tyres it might give you a rough idear of when it was parked
What a treat Rob. Thanks again. Great to see you backing your judgement and where it’s taken us. I’d love to see it restored. If you can’t do it could you hook up with a restorer who has a RUclips channel? Watching finding to finishing would be brilliant!
Fantastic buy there Rob, the last time I saw one of these was in my mechanic workshop at college over 10 years ago. Was an absolute shame this was the life it was subjected to, taken to bits by novice mechanics never to see the light of day or the road again. But this one, this one's got potential, can't wait to see more on this one.
That’s been input into DVLA incorrectly by DVLA or the dealer
Interesting fact time: This isn’t the first time Ford has done something like this! On the Ford Focus MK1 ST170 Estate series, Ford made a MASSIVE mistake on all ST170 UK Registered Estates produced, they registered them ALL as hatch backs, so as a result of this, nobody in the world knows the correct production number of Ford Focus MK1 ST170 Estates.
Admin in main dealer HQ can be pretty abysmal.
Mines registered as an st170 estate
Half way through l loved the way you started waffling in a nice way you can hear the excitement in your voice like kid on Christmas day haven't watched the video to the end yet but should be an easy fix? As always love the videos always make me smile keep them coming, and I'll finish the video now.
OMG!!!, its 1992 again, I'm 19 & running around in my Mk3 Fezza, I remember seeing these & wished I could drive manual! Stunning car & very underrated - Cannot remember the last time I saw one!! Can't wait to see what you do with it
Let's go Brandon
Great project! Looks like a lovely base to start from.
I love this car, reminds me of my K reg XR3i in Polaris grey with them original small rear lights & the horizontal front grille. Much better than the later ones. You gotta restore this one please 🙏🏻
Great find there rob👍👍,I love your enthusiasm when it comes to these old school cars.cant imagine there's many of these left.
I remember the advert for these, its on RUclips with the Rocky soundtrack !! Not quite in the same league as the Mk1 or 2 but because the Mk 5 was the unloved Escort this makes it that bit rarer - especially as an original survivor without the 90s tin worm, great car Rob im sure Chris loved it too. Great content as always 👏
Wow, blast from the past, my neighbour bought one brand new when i was 16, so jealous of it ever sunday when he cleaned it whilst i was cleaning my orion 1.6 😂 he sold it 2 yrs later and bought a Suzuki vitara which was popular at the time, what a mug, i was gutted hoping he would hold on to it long enough for me to get 1st refusal 😭 great memories 👌🏼
Delighted ta see an old ford. Enjoy the videos Rob. Looking 4ward ta seeing how she comes out.
This was very interesting, Rob. Thank you.
Nice one Rob, your enthusiasm is infectious and makes for good viewing, it shows you have a passion for what you do! Keep up the good work and thanks for the inspirational entertainment! 👍
Rob, love the content both you and Chris create. The RS2000 looks so original you guys have gotta give this car the make over it needs
My God what a find and a great looking car, I'm going to love seeing how this pans out, it take me back to my youth. Great stuff.
Great video Rob, this is definitely one series to watch 👍👍👍👍👍
Just goes to show that those rare cars are still out there but you hit the jackpot with this one Rob. One owner - unbelievable! It’ll be interesting to see where this one goes. Great vid as usual. Really look forward to your vids coming out through the week.
That takes me back. Had a friend who used to give me a lift to work this car. The cassette used to always chew up lol great content as usual 👌
Another lovely find Rob. Not many of those around anymore. Great video. Used to work with a guy who had one of those cars & he used to take the scraper mouldings off the doors to clean behind them!!
Like every other comment Rob, I can't wait to see the outcome of the Escort, I'm even excited to just see it washed. These cars remind me of the good times I had in my early to mid 20s. My male friends and some of us girls were absolute petrol heads. Cars, motorbikes....as long as they drove fast and had a roar, we were smitten.
Chris reminds me in a way of my partner, amazing work ethic and mechanically he's a genius....hope you had a lovely break.
Have a great week guys and cheers for another great video
As always excellently entertaining And brilliantly informative! Thanks Rob excellent work
Another excellent report, you are thorough in your research I look forward to your next video on this excellent project.
I hope Chris had a great time. I’m lucky enough to have moved to Looe in Cornwall in a new static caravan. Love it.
Love the RS Escort , takes me back a few years .
Great video and what a great car, looking forward to seeing how far you both take this one
Your enthusiasm Rob brightens up the dullest of days. A big thank you for sharing this rare car.
Thanks for sharing your Ford Escort RS2000 dealings with Head Office, look forward to where it all goes from now .
Keep us posted.
😎👍
Said before said again. Old fords will sky rocket the views. We all bloody love em! Haha great as always
That dash is just incredible
Thanks again Rob
You lads drop on some nice motors 👍Looking forward see the finished product, which ever way you go with it 😊 Nice job Rob 👍👍
I have one, had it 22 years. Great car.
Oooohhh, a sister car for the white RS Turbo! Can't wait to see this one fully restored, I remember these from years back and you are right Rob - just don't see them on the road nowadays at all. Definitely worth saving - good find!
Great video salvage rebuilds, great car Rob, looking forward to seeing more of it👍👌😀
Mk5 Escort was my first company car. I loved that motor. It looks dated now but back in 1991 they looked pretty good. Love the velor seats.
Recon you'd make a grand giving it a good wash Rob. Great find can't wait for the numbers. Can't wait to see Chris s reaction.
Another interesting piece, Rob. I'd suggest clean it up, get a battery and check the car over, give it a service and get it running and then MOT. When you have got there you'll know a lot more and can make an informed decision on your next step. Glad Chris has had a break.
i have a 1.6 ghia mk5 escort found in a barn a few years ago got it fully restored one owner from new never been welded 40000 miles on it with moon dust silver paint never selling it only 40 left in the uk love it
Hi Rob, when they first came out a mate of mines father in law was a boss at Ford and he used to get a new company car every 6 months . My mate said he fancied one so the father in law sorted it as a company car but he wanted it in the dark blue colour. They came back and said that it would be a 3 month wait for one that colour. They had one that colour but it wasnt "new" as it had done about 50 miles but he could get that one straight away. It all sounded really odd but he got it then, a few weeks later the full story came out. The car he got was the one they used on the posters. "That looks like my car....that is my car " . He only had it 6 months (ford company car scheme) but loved it more .......than his Ex wife ! I thought that might be why yours had a V5 issue. It might have been a very early car used at Ford HQ hence the early date. Check the date they first hit the market or that particular colour as it could be even more special. All the best with it !
Nice one Rob that’s lovely I’m sure Chris loves it..I’m looking forward to seeing it being clean up & got running again…hopefully you managed to get everything sorted out for it with the DVLA…I hope Chris enjoyed he’s holidays as you said Rob well deserved 😊👍
Been waiting for you lads to sort one of these! Great content, keep it up! 👍
Love it,love it,love it,cracking car rob,gonna be great when you and chris add your magic to it 👍
Behing a classic Ford and a rare one like that with 1 owner deserves the love and care hope you lads sort it can’t wait to see it finished ✌️
Looking forward to seeing the progress ❤️
Nice work Rob, well done as always. Thank you for sharing.
So nice to see it looking forward to hear it run
I was well excited when we saw the snippet on Instagram. I’d be super excited if you did choose to do the full restoration on this - especially as it’s all genuine and original and a one owner. Fingers crossed on this one 😃
Love the old RS ford's.
When I was at college they had an RS2000 in white had some other cool classics too. Can't wait to see the outcome of it 🙌
Aww what a find Rob. Cannot wait to see what you guy do with this. You defo need to do a will it run video and give it a nice clean so we can see what it looks like under the years dirt. Hope your not getting to many inbox requests to buy it.
Wow great find guys love them Escorts looking forward to the series keep it up
I can still remember the TV ad when they re-instated the RS2000 name with the Rocky soundtrack and driving up the steps in Philadelphia ..and badly wanting to have one. Can’t wait to see it washed and hopefully running
Very chuffed that you have one of these Mk5 RS2000, loved these when they were new, another bit of great content for the channel Rob
That's a proper blast from the past. I love it. All the best with what you do with it, but it deserves to be back on the road.
