The Ford Escort RS2000 arrived in the Matchbox range in 1978 in white. It wasn't until its final year of production in 1982 that it changed to green with Seagull stickers. While it was in the Superfast mainline with this design, it also featured in the Trailer Packs line with a Seagull Gliding Club trailer carrying a glider within.
The RS 2000 was Ford of Europe's performance version of the second generation European Escort, pre-dating the US Escort which launched simultaneously with the third generation in 1980. It was equipped with the two litre Pinto engine and was visually different from the regular Escort. This was most noticeable on the grille, which was slanted instead of flat and featured quad headlamps.
Mine had front end that had been seriously gouged, a significantly bent front right wheel, and stickers in great need of replacement.

Cant believe i had this trailer pack as a child.
The escort looks amazing
Nice restoration Jason , look forwards to seeing a custom version of the Escort RS2000 , with a bit more detailing 👍
Other than the bended central left pillar, everything else looks perfect. Congrats and thanks for sharing!
Beautiful restoration. Well done.👍🏼
Agreed. Keep an eye on my up-load coming soon. I have the white version and I am gonna make a custom of it (with real riders too) 👍
Another fine Job Jason
Fantastic result Jason, one of my favourite "Fast Fords" so really looking forward to you revisiting the RS2000 again soon!
Another beautiful restoration Jason. The prices of the real versions of these and other fast Fords is getting huge nowadays.
Wish I could find one of those escorts for my collection but you can't get British cars in America they're very rare to find here very good restoration keep up the good work God bless
Great job! Looks great

The model looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.
Better than the original one! The black turned out great. Super work again ✌️
great work! :D
I have a stack of them, they must have sold a lot of these models back when. I would love to create a conversion kit to give it the front of the RS1800, and maybe extra fat fenders and stuff. the count of rallye cars from the past and even present, is legion. :)
Beautiful restoration jason looks amazing well done 👍.
Nice 👍
nice restoration, details and paint job 👍👍
Great job Jason 👍
Thanks Jason another excellent restoration I must check out the site you got the stickers from they look superb on the model and the slightly darker green works well. I always thought this was better than the metallic one.
Fantastic job as always, keep it up my man!
Nice job. Are the “mint” and “very good” models you sometimes show yours as well?
Almost never 😂 I’m too poor to afford all of those perfect specimens!
Buenas tardes señor algunos de los cochesitos como los con sequistes porfa

Driver's side B-piller is a bit bent...
I noticed that as well.
Hadn’t noticed that until you said. Can’t see the wood for the trees sometimes in this hobby!
