in the 80's i had a mexico that was uprated to an rs2000 too.i wrote it off when i spun it into a wall.it was the best car iv ever had.happy days.!

This brings back some memories! i had one same colour as this. The 1.6 was getting knackered and as the Mexico had identical gearbox and axle to the RS2000 the gearing was always a little tall for it anyway i stuck the 2.0 in it. And of cource i told the insurance company! Nice original restoration would love to have one again.

Brillinat job, well done. I had one same back in 82 signal amber just like this one, not as clean as that though, not even then. Beautiful and patient job, hats off,
