A quick summary of the four books that feature:
- Volume One RS Icons ’70s & ’80s heroes companion book – how the Escort RS cars were designed, the design story of the RS wheels and details of who were the RS designers and their legacy. Unique, unmissable!
- The author-signed Secret Fords Volume Two is steeped in RS tales of how the RS Escort and Fiesta were designed with two huge chapters on the Escort Cosworth and the original Focus RS. Each of the RS cars’ design stories is underpinned by separate chapters that tell the tale of how the main model – from Fiesta to Scorpio – was created.
- The Collectors’ Edition Scrapbook reveals how Ghia built one-off prototypes such as the RS2000-based off-roader. More images of the jaw-dropping GN34 Ferrari-challenging supercar are revealed.
- Past met present when Ford Design offered to reimage an ’80s RS icon for the future exclusively for the RS Special Collector’s Book – reinforcing the books specialness. It features the first-hand design stories by the Escort Cosworth and Focus RS designer and what it was like to drive the unique Cosworth-engined, Prodrive-built RS Focus prototype.

Reviews
I’ve purchased a lot of automotive books in my time, But none of them come close to how special and spectacular this set is. You truly believe you have purchased something very special and unique.
The set is beautifully presented, The books are thoroughly informative beautifully illustrated and written and contains a wealth of previously not seen photo’s and facts.
If you’re a automotive enthusiast and love anything motoring these books are a must have!!!!!!
Worth every penny and a set that has easily become my favourites in my collection.
Urge you to check out the BMW collection too, Brilliant.
EVO's Richard Porter recently praised Steve's "Secret Fords" so of course I had to see for myself...fantastic books! A must for anyone interested on what happened behind the scenes. Thank you Richard and thank you Steve!
Awesome set of books with detailed insights into the world of Ford Europe, when it was a really big player on the market.
See a collection of rare and never released prototypes, the RS200s for group B homologation, convertibles, Cossies, ... You name it.
Unfortunately the purchasing of the books plus shipping and import taxes to Germany summed up to a total of 170,-€ but it is worth every cent.
Thank you for this amazing documentation.
Yours sincerely, Axel
These books appeal to gentlemen (&ladies) of a certain age, and I myself are of that age. A real quality set of books packed with the information we’ve been craving for years. Took me right back to my youth to the development of vehicles I listed after as a young man!! A brilliant read (and source of answers for many a Ford debate!)
Thankyou Steve & Co.
Good quality books (both in content and physical finish).
the poster lends itself well to accompany the books, and overall gives detailed information, but also a lot of small nuggets that are great for car meet bragging rights!
lots of "i didnt know that", or "ahh thats that myth busted" moments when reading. :)
