rs2000 interior question

groulder · 06-03-2007, 08:19 PM

hey all,

wondering if i could verify some interior elements for genuine aussie rs 2000s.

1. silver escort badge on glovebox?
2. black carpet across top of dash and on arm rests?
3. clock?

with regards to the badging on the exterior i'd just like to verify if this is correct:
- ford oval badge in centre of grill
- rs 2000 decals on both rear quarters and on right side of boot lip
- black escort badge on left side of boot lip

no ford badge on the rear at all?

know it's a lot of questions..but any help muchly appreciated

No Silver Escort badge on glovebox
No black carpet across dash top or armrests (sounds like someone has attempted to hide cracks in the dash pad and armrests)
No clock (clock in centre console only available standard in Ghia)

Badging:
Blue oval Ford badge to centre of front grille
RS2000 decals to rear quarters and rear slam panel (RHS)
Black Escort badge to LHS of boot lid rear lip
I think there may have also been a small blue ford oval badge to RHS of boot lid rear lip (possible only late model RS2000's?)

thanks seano
if the slam panel is what i'm thinking, that panel across the rear where the tail lights are...that whole part is blacked out on mine...

yeh,Seans right it should look somthing like this rear end(my RS).as for the other gear they are from the owners home spare parts bin

hmm, no blackout at the rear.
i notice you've got those stripes along the bottom too. mine has two thin stripes along the crease that goes along the top.

i was told this is accurate for later models and mines a 1980..

Yours sounds like it has a euro spec type styling. The English RS2000's had the blacked out rear slam panel and double pinstripe along the side crease lines.

Heres one...
