Kris.

by **chumkila** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 9:49 am

this is debatable but i'd say the figure 497/8 from previous research. basically around 500 bro. :lol:

by **AdrianFRST** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 9:51 am

10,000 or so,

500 odd made in the UK and thousands more built abroad and sold in the uk.

by **wildheart** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 5:36 pm

My mate has just put a deposit on an 1800i.

So if 10k were made its still a lot rarer than the vtr he's getting shut of

by **chumkila** on Wed Feb 04, 2004 6:08 pm

I wonder how many people are driving around in RS1800's thinking their XR2i's or something?

Yes.

by **chumkila** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 9:45 am

I'm actually quite baffled why i don't see many around if so many were made. mad aint it.

by **dawolf** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 11:46 am

That's what I thought, hardly ever see FRST's or RS1800's around. See loads of XR2i's though!

by **16Valver** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:30 pm

i've remember reading a Fast Ford dated around 1997 and I think it says that 593 were made in the UK. The article mentioned how rare they were and I always believed that, given I hardly ever see any. I'm very surprised that thousands more were imported to the UK but who am i to doubt Ade? :lol:

by **AndyRS1800** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:35 pm

What about mine... or are we talkin about ones that ford made?

Nobody really knows about the rs1800, all i ever get is... Is it a turbo... No... So its a 2i then... No... Well what is it then... Its a rs1800... You made that up? No, Go away...

by **chumkila** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:43 pm

We are talking about the ones that came out of the Ford production line with the RS1800 badge.

As for the "is it a Turbo, and is it a XR2" i get that all the time. :rolleyes:

more is it a turbo after i put the 17's on it.

by **ju575** on Thu Feb 05, 2004 1:46 pm

i've only ever seen 1

seen loads of FRST's though, strange :-?

i thought thats as well :-?

they were 130 ps xr2i's, basically rs1800's but they were at the end of the day xr2i 16v's.

by **benjfrst** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 6:27 pm

just been looking at an old PF mag, (august 2001 i think) they did a feature on the the rs1800 and say quite blatenly that only 493 were made. ive got a mate who bought one new and was dead into the concours thing with it and hes adment that only 493 were made,,,

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:18 pm

They're both wrong.

Many more were made and imported into the UK. Abroad they were known as 130ps XR2is, in the UK they were badged as RS1800s.

If they made less than 500 do you really think there would be 36 for sale on the Auto Trader site?

by **benjfrst** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:30 pm

your probably right, just think its a bit gay being decieved for all this time

by **benjfrst** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:37 pm

i cant see 36 tho only 20

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:40 pm

Make sure you're searching nationally, not just within 40 miles or what the default is.

You need to search twice to get them all to appear, once for "rs 1800" and again for "rs1800" (no space).

by **benjfrst** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 7:51 pm

yea, got it now

maybe it was 493 of the mk3 spec and more of the later mk3.5 or something like that?

by **karls rs1800** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 8:31 pm

if i can remember quite rightly i asked this question a few months ago and remember saying that i have a mate that was in the office at the local henry fords and only 493 were made. and if they was imported to this surely it would be for sale on the autotrader website as saying FORD FIESTA 130PS XR2I 16V now wouldnt it and not RS1800

by **chumkila** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:23 pm

practically everyone that owns an XR2i 1.8 16V says its an RS1800 these days. Non-car enthusiasts don't know any different, even if they bought one which was badged as an RS1800 but the log-book said 1.8 Zetec 16V.

by **benjfrst** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:35 pm

i know wot u mean i was in a scrappy near me and the guys had printed on the front wing of a blue zetec xr2i in yellow marker 'rs1800' i could tell it wasnt straight away, funny how they couldnt, its sposed to be their job to know!

by **AdrianFRST** on Mon Feb 09, 2004 9:52 pm

You only need to worry about rebadged 2is if it's a mk3 though, if it's a 3.5 with an 1800 Zetec it's an RS 1800.

by **karls rs1800** on Tue Feb 10, 2004 6:10 pm

so i take it mine is an original then as it is a 95 m reg?

by **TomRS1800** on Tue Feb 10, 2004 6:30 pm

Yup its a real one!

Wonder how many Tourmalin Green ones left as they did 2 versions of green for this car

by **chumkila** on Tue Feb 10, 2004 6:33 pm

Hope mines an original!
