DIVIDING OPINIONS

You’ll recall our May 2019 issue contained a feature on a Series One that its restorer had the courage to paint grey rather than the standard factory white. Some said it was sacrilege, others that it looked great. Members of the first group might want to look away now… The builders of that grey RS Turbo were Rod Alderson (right) and Mick Barker from R&M Classic Cars, and that car was a subtle mixture of stock original and a few upgrades they called the Grey Edition. The Escort you’re looking at here is the sequel — their RS Turbo Black Edition.
