The 2 door TC Sport was the enemy of the 2 door RS Escort.
The 4 door version of both were always second best, although Fiat did give the 131 4 door the same 2000cc TC engine.
Did ford give ever give the 4 door Escort the same engine from the 2000 RS to the 4 door ??

Ford made the Sierra XR500 in S.Africa (Yes sorry Sid it was XR8) a great car but it was always the 2.8L max XR4x4 in the UK.
Fiat gave the 4 & 2 door fans the same TC engine performance give or take a few BHP with the Sport & Super Mirafiori. Wink

I was thinking of the Swiss company (Eggenberger tuning) they did the initial tuning work on the Sierra's to produce the great RS 500 Sierra ,then the only 500 rhd versions made were sent to Tickford UK
You are right Sid the XR8 was the South African one with the V8 engine
