Certainly looks a genuine RS2000,the seats as far as I was aware were the proper spec. The colour would have been Fords "signal orange".

Last was a LWB 2.7D Maverick Chasseur, most fun was a V8 CF van with semi naked women all over it, smiles per hour!

Before i had the Fronty i had my Skoda Octavia Estate 1.9TDi 110BHP with a skirt kit and the Octavia VRS 17" alloys on it as pictured below. The best car i have owned unfortualty i got cut up on the motorway between J23a and J24 and hit the central reservation. It only needed both off side and respray but the insurance company wrote it. Didnt find the bloke that caused the accident he didnt stop 
This picture was taken just after moddified nationals June 2008 at santapod and run 17.5s 1/4 mile as standard
I will have another one day. Incedently i still have the skirt kit and rear boot spoiler that has never been fitted should anyone know of anyone who would want one.
I now have this
now with a bullbar and alloys fitted sporting a set of Pirelli Scorpion ST boots.
