The Advanced Vehicle Operations (AVO) department was set up at Ford, and a new facility was established in Aveley, Essex solely to design, develop and build the performance-model cars, which were gone exclusively through Ford Rallye Sport Dealers and notably the first car was driven off the production line by Graham Hill in November 1970. However, in the early 1970s the energy crisis caused.
However, Ford still wanted to offer their enthusiast-customers the opportunity to build the RS Escort of their dreams and began to offer a range of upgrades for the Mk2 RS2000, with customer or dealer-fit Series X modifications being developed and made available. The parts were only available through appointed Ford dealers, with the dealer able to order any amount of Group 1 parts to fit the RS2000 depending on what the customer love. By far the most desirable of these enhancements was the X-Pack body kit which turned what was already a handsome model into a 'race car for the road'. The Series X tuning parts catalogue addressed every area of the car, engine, brakes, suspension and body styling.
'With Series X kits you can add authentic Rallye Sport style and performance to your RS2000. You can specify more power, bigger brakes, stiffer suspension, lightweight alloy wheels, air-dam, spoiler, wheel arches - with Series X you make as much or as little change as you like.' - Ford Motor Company.
Factory-built Series X RS2000s are widely regarded as amongst the most collectible variants of the Mk2 Escort, and well-documented, UK-supplied examples are seldom offered. Accordingly. Car been in lot of magazine seen 1980
