The RS200 also came in red and black from new, Tickford fitted them out for road sale after being chucked together by Reliant.
Saw quite a few in my RS 2000 Mk 2 days, the Evo ones were awesome on track days. Great car cool

Sat there with the boot up (I assume to fill up) was a White (are they all white?) E reg Ford RS200 cool The only one I've ever seen smile


I'm almost certain there were a few made in Red as well, but most were made in white, they were homologation specials produced to allow the car into Grp B Rallying, I believe they had to produce 200 and I'm certain the homologation batch were ALL white. They carried on producing them in small numbers to order, hence you do find them in other colours, I have seen a black one kicking around Oulton Park in the past, if this was it's original colour, I have no idea.

There was a red one, also frequently kicking around oulton park that was red with full interior trim, the white Homologation specials were all sold with minimum road kit on board, enough to make them road legal and no more, little in the way of trim and competition seats etc.

There is a guy live locally with a Stratos kit car, done out in Motorac colours with Bernard Darniche on the side as the driver! V6 engine so I assume Alfa powered, looks and sounds fantastic, he was out in it Sunday as the weather here was fine, but rarely see it otherwise. Nice to see one in colours other than the Allitalia ones.

The same RS200 was down Southend last night. The idiot driver was hammering it up and down at 60mph+ on the 30mph limit seafront with people walking about everywhere. A real shame for such a car to end up in the hands of a goon like this cry

Are you sure it was definately a proper RS200 and not the kit car version? They do one based on the Sierra Cosser and it looks pretty close, more to the point they are cheap.
I'm sure you all know current values of RS200 (if you can find one), is this the sort of person that would rag a car like that just to impress kids.
Just got EVO mag through BTW and there is a back page article giving you a good precis of the car, would still take one over a Ferrari etc anyday cool

Not really a rare car but on the A34 nr Newbury earlier today I saw a black Bently Continental GT with the numberplate 'MEDIA' (or I suppose it could have been 'MED1A').

Didn't recognise who was driving though.

Really shocked to see a Porsche Carrera GT stuck in traffic in the town!! Took a double take!

This so isnt the kind of area for cars like that!!

Even the idle noise was lush!

Just found this thread or I would have told you sooner.

An old school buddy of mine, his dad has a Jenson Interceptor.

Saw him driving in it past the end of our street a few days ago.

Looked fantastic but never did get a ride in it then or now.

Only readin this post - Would love to see a RS200 shocked

I saw an immaculate motor in Belfast, maybe a year ago now to be fair, it was a De Lorean DMC 12 smile

Real nice machine - I remember Patty Kielty said on TopGear (Dave rapeat other day) he bought one. It may have been his.

Black 8c along the embankment last night.

Do you think its better to be on the outside looking on, or the inside looking out?

Another Veyron yesterday, this one turned up at Goodwood while the Lancia Motor Club track day was in full swing - then the driver got in his plane fro a jaunt somewhere

Not short of a penny or two, it was 09 reg so 2 weeks old at most, and parked up with the rear wing in FWP for pose value

Incidentally, whose was the Blue Coupe out on track with the LMC guys?
