LethalLurch Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 There was only a limted number produced.Would be worth even more in 10 years time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 200 had to be made, hence RS200.Sounds like one of the Banham (iirc) kit cars to me for £15k. I'd very much doubt a genuine RS200 would go for that.Wiki comes up trumps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigz™ Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 There was only a limted number produced.Theres more than you'd think.Ford had to build 200.They had a car which should have walked out the show rooms.. Until it killed off Group B, and who is gonna spend £50,000 on a Ford with no sporting heritage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LethalLurch Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Still 200 is a pretty small amount.Gonna be even less originals now as it was produced so long ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd very much doubt a genuine RS200 would go for that.Wiki comes up trumpsDont think it is a replica as it is a honey come chassis and its not a full car it was just a chassis and he said he had the body moulds, looked at a few pics of one and it is cool as f*** Edited May 10, 2009 by Martin(GTI) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDGM Posted May 11, 2009 Report Share Posted May 11, 2009 I'd have thought £15k is cheap if it's an original chassis & running gear.Put into perspective, Metro 6R4s are on sale for anything between £60-£80k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted May 12, 2009 Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Can he prove it's a Ford chassis and body? Do it come with papers?I'd be stunned at that price also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin(GTI) Posted May 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2009 Can he prove it's a Ford chassis and body? Do it come with papers?I'd be stunned at that price also.All i know is that it has a stamp on the chassis never asked him about papers ect,but even with the chassis and moulds docs, i guess you would still need, engine, gearbox, suspension,wiring, lights, wheels, interior need i go on sowould it actually be worth it?unless make it into a replica with aftermarket parts....well ive just sold a real rs2oo for alot cash and i mean house buying cash and you had a genuin rs200 OMFG what was it like to own something like that?
