Well, that's 3 black ones I'm now aware off!!

The other being the obvious, being Princess Diana's.
Then there is C973 HAR belonging to our own PaulB.

[ESCORT2483]

good question

[cossymad]

Nice frog

[Big Turbo]

Why would a S1 Turbo have 1600i seats

Looks like crazy frog on the bonnet.

[AJC]

I think a possibility behind having mk3 grill is because it was a dummy princess Diana car??

[99 JON]

Seller is Tony Fuller ,he was the RSOC RS1600i reg for many years till recently.

I knew he had a black S1.

I believe there was a "disagreement" with Bonkers over who had the Diana car.

Tony Fuller paid considerably less for his than Bonkers paid for his,so you can understand there being a controversy over provenance.

good question

because Dianas car had the 3i grill on her car as these cars were made as decoys i'm lead to believe.

[COZZFATHER]

i know for a fact i have a rsoc mag from back in the day that states that a rsoc member went to buy dianas old black rs turbo and never did because it wasn't as good as the tosser hoped and it had a hole in the bonnet due to a mascot being fitted and that put him off.

that i can guarantee is what i read back in the late 80's and i remember seeing pics of it

[punton.bhp]

So which one is dianna's car???????????????????

[COZZFATHER]

So which one is dianna's car???????????????????

someone needs to ask her copper minder or someone high up in fords who sorted out cars for royalty what the crack is,she was the most famous person in the uk and europe at the time so its not impossible to think that there was a few cars the same she used.

our local police force uses fully decalled up taxis as undercover cars so 2 black escorts for a royal isn't beyond belief
