I read that as "on my RS". I was looking for an Aprilia 250 picture. Imagine my disappointment when I saw it was a car :-(

Very rare car that I thing your find these was all South Africa imports Canโt remember for sure Yes, specially made for specific customers in South Africa The same with the Cortina XR6 Values still quite low due to not being the 'period thing" over here I just love the shape of the mk3 cortina. When I was a young boy I remember my uncle having one and it was the first car that made me go wow. If only I had the space/time Just now. Steve
