no one wanna lend me the money then lol

 

Bit of history there !

 

If only, How much would i love to have that sat in my garage, i wonder if he would swap
a saph for it

 

That's a good price for an Evo!

 

especially if its a proper numbered car

 

Its a summer car - some of this some of that! Still an amazing bit of history that I'm sure would goo very well, and looks to be fairly priced.

 

summer car?

 

cant imagin a 700bhp BDT build by mountune is cheap!

 

would of had that if it wasn't silver.

 

some of this, some of that - built from parts rather than being a numbered homologation car. nice find nonetheless.

 

CHips mate had a 200 that he was rebuilding. Wonder if this is the guy? Very interesting anyways!

 

but if it were 1 of the cars dismantled by ford for spares then surely its one of the original 200?

 

Yes, if he has ALL the spares off that particular car to put it back together. I don't think this is the case.

From the ad:

"The background to the EVO is having bought so many spares from Boreham for my road/sprint RS200, I decided that I had enough to build a complete car"

"Wiring is done, most of the parts are there, it just needs someone to put in some time to finish it."

Which would suggest not. I'm not about to get into an argument over someone else's car - it is a lovely bit of kit that I'd love to own.

 

Bloody love these cars.Its cheap compared to the price of them now.

 

im not arguing with u fella just trying to benefit from the knowledge of others, sorry if i came across that way, just my brain worked it out as this should be one of the genuine numbered shells if wot he says is true

 

No, thats Steveboyslim off here and its white iirc.

Different car for sure

Aha! cheers.

 

just raided my piggy bank and im only 74,999 short

 

wish i had a spare 75p lol

 

If its an original chassis it will count as one of the original cars IMO

Cool car when its done

 

did ford register all the 200 cars before the homologation inspection then strip them down or were they only registered when sold?

Id imagine it would not be fun trying to get that through an IVA test to get it road legal! plus unless he could prove the engine age as being pre 1992 then he would likely have to pass cat test emissions which would be shit. Although bending the truth a little on the origin of the parts would help his cause

 

You could register it under the original type approval for the RS200 as long as you can prove it uses all the original RS200 parts, so no need for an IVA.

The problem any buyer will have is that it has no provenance, so its value will always be the sum of its parts rather than as a complete car. To a collector it will never be a genuine evo never mind an RS200, and those are the fellas that pay top dollar.

Perfect base for a race or rally version though, but theres no real historic series it could compete in that I am aware of.

Its the kind of build I love to do, but I think its worth less than the current asking price.

Mick Quaife built one from parts and his was silver as well, I wonder if this is related at all.

 

I'd say it's good value at that money. Converting an RS200 to Evo spec is quite involved, and that engine with manifolds/turbo is worth Ł30k. An Evo engine sold on ebay last year for very good money.

Then there's the gearbox, diffs etc... and then you have a shell left which would still sell for good money.

 

did anyone else see the other items he has for sale?

not sure my missus would see it as a good investment compared to the deposit on a house

 

Fair play! Likes his Group B then.

 

Richard has so many 'toys' that he opened his own garage.
Not so long ago he owned another RS200 and I thick he still has his 750 bhp twin turbo 6R4 and a modified Ford GT.
That is about 2% of his wold wide collection.

Steve

PS the RS200 in the advert is not one of the 20 factory EVO cars.

 

Twin turbo 6r4 ! now that must be a handful lol

 

I could think of much better cars to spend that sort of money on....Audi R8 for starters, much more refined and German built.

 

time for another line on the lotto

 

Interesting, wonder what he does for a living?

Will Gallop style twin turbo 6R4 sounds cool as fuck!

 

I think he has one of those.

Steve

 

Were the rallycross 6R4's twin turbo then ?

 

i would not mind that built up in my garage will be a nice car built up

 

but is it one of the original 200 built?

 

No its not

 

well the chassis is so he claims....

you wouldnt buy an RS turbo shell, rebuild it and get rejected by the RSOC would you?

there does seem to be a certain snobbery over id's with RS200's and rs500's.

although how someone can say that a collector would not consider it a genuine rs200 is rediculous. its an original chassis so an original car, end of. sure its not worth as much due to its history but its still a rs200.

 

well the most famous twin turbo metro was will gollops 92 european rallycross championship winning car with the motor built by former bl works engine builder cliff humphries,loads of people drove 6r4's but not many had twin turbos, i seem to recall Cor Euser driving one though.

the crucial point regards the rs200 is are all the parts genuine ford ???

if the answer is yes you know what the car is,if its made of replica parts you know what the answer is. if its a halfer i'd say its a bastard myself
