But why bid it up if its just going to outprice itself ??? anyone into old rs fords know exactly how much they are worth so really dont see the point off bidding up only for it to appear on ebay in a few weeks time with some poor story about the buyer not getting back in touch ??!!
am sorry but that car despite being rare does not look in particular good condition ?? possibly just a poor advert, its certainly not in concours condition. would have thought the rsoc mag would have been a much better option for selling it.
ebay user id : i love a bargain !!!

I remember the RS Mexico & MK11 RS2000's, once saw a MK1 RS2000 as well, to be honest I do not remember the RS1800
must/might be really rare car? still a lot of money though

The RS1800 was a homologation special, there should have been 400 built, but it is believed only 50 where actually completed. So, if genuine and in original condition, then it will be worth a fortune!

Looks like its worth a couple of grand. look at the state of the engine.
I don't think I'd be parting with £36k to someone whose grasp of English is so poor, you'd have to question everything they say.
My neighbour has an S plated 77 mexico: trust me, those Ford fanboys polish every last thing ! look at the state of the pulley wheels: rusted up !

That will sell dont be mistaken about that. The rs1800 is the rarest of the mk2's you dont even see them at fordfair. Fair play to him if it's a minter he will get his money. My dads friend had a mint rs500 with 15k on the clock he sold that for 45k to a collector in germany 
ive seen rotten mk2 rs1600 sports and 2000's sell for upti 7k. But im abit ford mad aswell as scooby mad lol

I am on the Committee of the RS Owners Club and have been around the cars since I was 17
The RS1800 Registrar has the only Red RS1800 left and has turned down in excess of 60k for it.
I have a Concours MK2 RS Mexico but that is only valued at 20k. The RS1800 is completely different as far as values go. There is an Irish Gentleman who has 9 of these!!!!!
The car will sell as Demand far outweighs supply. It is a genuine car that is well known to the RSOC.
There are "Certain" MK2 RS1800 Escorts out there that will change hands in excess of 150k

I nearly bought an RS1800 new back in the day, but was put off by the thought of having alloy heads - surely a recipe for disaster 
Went for a late Mk1 RS2000 instead
for similar money, as Ford couldn't sell the RS1800s for love nor money.

There were 109 Road cars built by Ford. Early ones were converted 1300 & 1600 Sports. Later ones were Converted RS Mexico's

I actually wanted to buy one of these back in the day but simply couldn't find one, I never liked the RS2000 mainly because of the different nose they had to the 1600/1800. I ended up with a MK1 Golf GTi

The BDA only had a twin choke 32/36 DGAV carb which strangled the engine power wise.
I once was offered an original RS1800 rolling shell to re-shell one of my old Mexico's into for £1200 C/W Log book etc. I declined as I thought it was too much money so re-shelled it into a 1600 Sport instead!!! Idiot LOL

Probably 40k+ Still silly money as it needs restoring as well. But, such is the rarity of these cars
The MK2 RS2000 was quicker, Had better interiors (Unless the RS1800 had the Custom Pack) and more reliable and cheaper to fix!!!!

LOL, hindsight............... to think I sold an MK2 RS2000 in 1988 for £1800
And as if that wasnt bad enough, bought an XR3
, that wasnt even an 'i' I think that is the shortest time I ever kept a car, dont know what I was thinking about.
