Where it all began
The RS Shop is the culmination of a 42 year association with RS Fords beginning in the mid 1970's by Gordon Douglas. The RS Shop was formed after a long term dissatisfaction with the availability of genuine and aftermarket spare parts for Australian RS enthusiasts.
In 2010, Chalker Cosworth was sold to Gordon Douglas. The business has since been relocated to Albury NSW and is now a division of The RS Shop Pty Ltd specialising in all RS Fords from Mk1 Escort to Mk3 Focus with an ever growing inventory of cars, parts and suppliers.
