Could have been my bro's mate, he has a RS200, but last time I saw it it had either 1 UFO or UFO1 plate, but he may have changed, it's not far from my bros, don't know for sure though.

Well i was so surprised as it was going though Soham and not round it. But though the 30 i bet it was more to 50-60, not great speed but flu past and did sound nice!

F40 would be a nice sight round Earith. I have seen a brand new aston martin vantage in Littleport parked outside someones house.

The number plate defo had c200 but never saw the rest. Told my mum to look an she has no idea what it is

C200 RAN is another RS200 but i've only even seen it on a trailer.

It's 185 of 200.

Don't think the owner is on here, was probably in your area having the ecu map checked.

I think archer has sold it thinking about it last night, he got bored with it, think he's just got some raris and astons mainly now, but was looking at xj220 I think.

my guess is that it would be going to/coming from DS Motorsport as he does parts for them
(such as http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RS200-INLET-VA...item43a64a33f5) i've seen a few in soham

a fair few cossies around here too

i used to see a rs200 coming down raynesway in derby as i used to nearly crash everyday , well mint and it had full rally stickers etc , he used it to go to work in and he is a tarmacker lol.
i was then driving to my grandma's and spotted it on his drive in breadsall which aint the best area thats for sure . i then learned that he brought the shell and chassis from a bloke whos garage caught fire and was badly burnt so hes done a good job building it up , he was on here slating someone for building a kitcar rs200.
to be far hes also got a mint white mk1 escort with bubble arches and the widest tyres ive seen on a car.

cheers paul

Late registered one on a J plate surely.

Cool bit of history to own but hard work to drive from what various owners have told me.

You drive tractors mate so probably not too bad for you

More just what I have heard, I know Steveboyslim off here and he will tell you similar.

I know someone with a seriously powerful one, exceeds 700hp and he said its hard to keep on the power whilst keeping an eye on the road as its literally all or nothing, which tbh isn't a lot different to what you currently own I guess except yours is refined and probably quite driveable.

I did not think it was yours as your car was Essex bound.
There are several using MBE which could be the reason for the Soham pit stop.

I can confirm Archer Sold it several years ago, it became to difficult and too expensive to maintain and he had 'fallen out' with several of the 'experts' who used to look after his car and Spooners stopped being involved with motorsport.

Hell of a sight seeing an rs200, I've seen a few, but only ever at shows, which is a bit of a shame.
