as posted above, there are not much left, thats why there is a standard one with 37k miles posted for 4 grand, was 5 a few months back.

rare, collectables at some time in the not too distant future.

sounds like you've got a minted there, i too have the original sales invoice for my car, it's pretty cool!

I have been doing some digging and apparently : "The first FRST rolled off production in Dec 1989 at Fords Spanish plant in Valencia (later changed to UK)" ..... "Due to the Emission Legislation demanding a catalysed version Ford stopped production of the FRST in July 1991 having made 4,208 cars (im thinking that might be in total, not just UK). Production of the RS1800 began in Feb 1992 and ended in early 1995 with only 500 being made."

Fezzy Turbo :Ford stopped production of the FRST in July 1991 having made 4,208 cars


My old silver frst had date stamps of 09.91 so they must have been making them upto sept :)

107(73 rhd) were silver, and red was the most popular colour as its the best 8) :D
