136 pages full colour – 70s & 80s RS Icons Companion Book to the sold-out Secret Fords Volume One.
This image-led book is an exciting journey of unseen photos and untold tales behind the RS cars with a bonus feature section on secret Capris and Fiestas. The author was given extra material after Secret Ford Volume One was completed and notes, " I had so many new images and untold stories that I knew it could fill an extra book – and now it has!” It's affordable, fun and the final book in the award-winning Secret Fords project.
If you have ever wondered how many Escort RS1700T prototypes there were, what was the look of the first Capri that Detroit designed and the British refined, then this is the book for you. There has never been a book that dives as deep into the secret development world of Ford's RS and sporting icons.
Classic Retro Modern Magazine says of the book, "Come for the information, stay for the fascinating photos."

Reviews
Another great book following the superb Secret Fords formula and granddaddy Capri 50 format. A great insight into the Capri that was never to be, can be found here.
As always another superb book by Steve Saxty. I don’t know how he does it. Every new book is even more informative and visually superb than the one before. How is that even possible?!! Please keep it up and keep giving us petrolheads more sensational books for our collections.
What else could any Ford fan ask for? Full of what 'might have been' models AND 'what should have been' ideas. Fantastic read full of insights and memories. Thanks Steve
My second book from the author and Steve does not let you down. The content is mouthwatering and you quickly realise that you are privileged with the information and photographs he shares. So many questions are answered with the trivia details that he shares.
