1970s Ford RS CollectionSince 1970, the RS badge has adorned the ultimate fast Fords, cars that have won in motor sport the world over and createdan enduring legend of success that proved the old adage, win on Sunday sell on Monday. RS was first seen on the 1968 FordTaunus 15M Rallye Sport, a front-wheel-drive 2-door saloon or coupĂ© with a 90bhp 1699cc V4.
