Is that a serious question?

Genuine ones go for anything upto 100K


As to which is better, as a road car? probably this!

Would certainly be the most usable RS200 on the roads.

Thats how i read it too.

Personally wouldnt pay that much money just to make a scooby look different, but it is still kind of cool i reckon if people are into that sort of thing, cause at least it will have handling that comes close to justifying its looks unlike if it was based on a triump stag or something

Given the originals were GRP too, makes you think dont it

But the engine is in the FRONT.

So its just a Scooby with an early 80s style bodykit

If the engine was where it should be I can see the attraction as itd be more of an intresting replica.

This one is barely 1 up from the Maestro based ones IMO

There's a slight difference in GRP and Carbon Kevlar

Yup, but the RS200's were made from GRP by Reliant

Body

The body was styled by Filippo Sapino of the famous Ghia Design Studios in Turin. Ford had no experience in working with the lightweight glass fibre necessary and turned to Reliant (of three wheeler fame) for the expertise. A production line was set up in Reliant's factory in Shenstone. What a contrast - helping to produce one of the quickest cars ever alongside some of the slowest cars ever! The Ford parts bin was raided for many ancillary parts with the rear lights being borrowed from the Sierra
